Random thoughts about Lincoln Project and GOP'ers turned Anti-Trumpers.

16. I think the r's mentioned are putting the country before a traitor

and as you say, that probably means that getting rid of trump benefits their main goal. So many of the reagan/bush enablers are still behind the scenes (roger stone, cheney come to mind) Rumor or truth?: republicans made sure that the hostages in Iran were held until after the 1980 election. Never forget the Special Forces team who died trying to get the hostages released. LIHOP in relation to 911 isn't popular on DU, so I keep my opinions to myself. But, no, I don't think any of the fascists bastards who rely on Machiavellian tactics to achieve their ends are moderate or benign.

And what is their purpose? Sometimes I think that the 1% make bets with each other with no thought about how it affects the other 99%. Musk buying Twitter comes to mind. Other times, I think the goal is to remove any regulated financial obligations mega corporations have right now that force them to pay half of social security obligations, clean up after themselves, pay fair wages and all of the other labor costs they owe every employee, regulated obligation or not. What about human decency? War, poverty, illness combine to create a conveyer belt of misery from cradle to grave for most humans. I can say mega corporations, but behind the facade there are humans who make the decisions and sign off of the human misery on which neocons feed and which both groups see as necessary to win.
