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.

(161 posts)I think there are numerous strategies available. Choosing to bleed them dry is going to harm people you dont (or at least shouldnt) 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.

(9,963 posts)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.
Ive reqd nothing about Boeberts 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.

..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.
