Democracy is their business. I’m talking about Rethugs holding office. Once Democracy is gone, so is their sweet, sweet, thing.

I still believe that self interest will determine the end game here. It will cease to be “us or them” . It will be “TSF or us”. If TSF’s dictatorship takes hold, they are ALL EXPENDABLE. That includes the SCOTUS.

Their bottomless self interest will save us from total collapse of the system. Unfortunately, the recovery will be difficult once the spell breaks.

just MHO. Thanks for listening.
