the Republicans on the sinking ship while the Democrats row away to safety.
Seriously. What they've done is so asinine. It's incomprehensible that adults with functioning
neurons could actually believe that these actions were loaded with "win." I mean, these are
Ivy-League educated, privileged powerbrokers. And we're actually supposed to believe that they
thought this was a good idea?
This is the only reason that I think we're going off the cliff. And maybe I'm overthinking here. I just
don't buy into the notion that grown adults are behaving this way. This must be part of some bigger
scheme. It just has to.
It doesn't make one fricking bit of sense. These are not stupid people.
