    I’d call the republicans a death cult, but the truth is that they probably believe that this will make them so much money that they can just pick a place on earth that will still be livable when the worst comes. They just don’t give a single shit about anyone else.

    I don’t know how anyone in their right mind can justify voting for these misantrophic shitbags.

      I’m beginning to think the majority of republicans in power are so selfish and spiteful that they resent the youth and future of younger generations and actually want to leave things worse. It’s the end-stage nihilism of their unchecked greed.

    The ship is sinking and these fools want to steer into the iceberg to grab a few more dollars. I hate everything, I am filled with existential dread, and I need a very strong drink.

      Don’t be afraid: fight hard. That means not just voting, but actively supporting candidates to opposed them with both time and money.

            They’ll just give ot away in the next debt ceiling “debate” so what’s the point of electing dems? It is hardly sending a rebuke to congress to elect one of the two parties. I would rather vote for an actual leftist that loses and causes the dems to lose too than vote for a dem and barley win. We don’t advance voting in dems that don’t represent us, but just represent Republicans not winning. Cia would kill them, but such is life.

              They passed it. And managed to (so far) preserve it, and look likely to keep on doing so to the best of their ability with the possible exception of a handful who are bought off. I’ll work to elect them because of that.

    It blows my mind that this kind of plan to undermine vital functions of the government, needed now more than ever, is not considered terrorism and/or treason and punished accordingly. We’re facing an existential threat as a species, and their grand plan is to exacerbate it?
