Nicely explained.

This brings to mind JD Vance‘s bizarre statement after Renee Good was shot in the head in Minneapolis.

He said that the man who shot her performed a very very important service to the United States of America.

How does this kind of statement slide by so easily?

Answers welcome.

And keep up the good work, Noah.

Because MAGAts live the idea of violently putting "misbehaving" women in their place (she was resisting the holy ICE crusade, but also a lesbian, which compounds her treachery in their eyes)

And because our fucking news media cares more about clicks and views than anything else.

Thank you for your clarity. The emperor has no clothes: he is not serving the people, but himself. You clearly expand on this truth and it makes sense. Sense that is uncomfortable, and rarely found in my limited view.

I almost want the rest of the world to put an embargo on us to force a massive crash.

I also like the idea of other countries rewriting any trade agreements with us to include a clause that says all trade will be shut down the second a Republican becomes president.

You gave me a tiny bit of hope. Thank you.

I have been thinking exactly the same thing.
