Had a discussion with my brother yesterday

He's in NYC, I'm in Florida.

We both came to the same conclusion, the party of Motherfucker is chock-full-of-nuts and unserious people, whose strategy is to outbreed the serious people.

We have no solution to counter their following of the Idiocracy playbook.

That is all.

1. No Solution? They are sheep, we can lead, out think, work harder, and exploit them

Bleed them financially. We must step up, lots of opportunity there.

I think there are numerous strategies available. Choosing to bleed ‘them’ dry is going to harm people you don’t (or at least shouldn’t) want to harm along the way. Personally I think expanding the court unilaterally is the best way to counteract that for the near future, especially before the end of this year while complaints about it being an ‘election year’ are inconsequential (and it will be forgotten by next year, when the next terms will come up and be potentially consequential). Playing the robber barron game just makes potential allies bitter and suspicious.

My sister in law had six little time bombs thirty years ago. Boom, they went off one at a time. Education is the key but these people home school with a scoop of church for topping. Our challenges are great!

Wish my sister and I could reach the same conclusions on political matters. She's prone to buying into conspiracy theories. It's troubling. I try to talk some common sense into her, but it's futile more often than not.

A 17-year-old impregnating a 15-year-old. See Boobert, the future train wreck of a grandma.

9. A high school dropout whose son has most likely forced another high school dropout.

This is exactly what the religious right wants. Girls and women forced to bear children, especially if it interrupts their education and prevents then from competing for jobs with men, and to be completely reliant on a male for their financial stability so males can once again feel superior.

I’ve reqd nothing about Boebert’s son marrying his underage girlfriend, yet Boebert regularly quotes the Bible and presumably her religion frowns on sex before marriage and out-of-wedlock births. Just one more example of the hypocrisy regularly displayed by white evangelicals who talk the talk but never live up to what they demand other people to do.

Plus, much if not most of the Republican base is either leaving child bearing age or left it already. Double plus, non-Hispanic whites, the core of the Republican Party, have by far the lowest fertility rates of any racial group in the US and it's showing no signs of increasing.

Tragic victims of the sick parents…..ie Ted Cruz and Kelly Ann to name just two horrible outcomes.
And those had money. Think of sick parents like those, with 10 kids and minimum wages. I gonna encourage all those kids to set that as a goal, if they survive guns and disease.

I guess Mother Earth needs an even nastier worldwide plague in order to clean herself of those that would destroy her.
