An exquisite irony of the current moment is Trump’s tariff plan combined with SCOTUS lawlessness would yield a moment where we have a functionally unremovable king and a huge tax on tea.
it's shallow analysis but also true that the main recipe for fascists assuming power is fracture and division amongst the coalition of progressive and leftist forces
This is the most deranged shit I've heard. People are fucking Reality TV show pilled. This isn't Bang Your Mom's Friend Island or whatever that new one is, it's to decide whether or not the country is finished
in the long term view of homo sapian presence on the planet (currently estimated at around 200,000 years), i wonder whether the domestication of fire or the emergence of agriculture will go down as the ultimate culprit for our extinction.

absolutely this. republicans thrive on decline! republican policies bring economic decline which brings
outmigration of young people and professionals, which strengthens the republican hold on government which brings even more conservative policies which brings greater decline, etc.
People are like "why would these supposedly pro business Republicans be cutting funding for public universities that are huge economic growth engines" and like look at how the richest states vote and how the poorest states vote. If you were a Republican would you want your state to become wealthier?
