22. I blame MAGA.

They voted to empower this racist criminal regime - six times. While nobody could have listed every fuckery going to be perpetrated by these shit souls, we knew that destruction, sabotage, and the breaking of everything in site was the plan. Project 2025 put it into prose, but it was all just scorched earth destruction of social infrastructure and raiding of natural resources. They knew, and they know, but they'll still blame Mexicans.

For decades this has been the motive of the GOPs, and they brought on their supporters by fueling, promoting, and championing their bigoted grievances. Texas ranchers are fucked in a large part due to their own social exploitation and contempt for anything regulating their "freedoms."

It's a blanket statement, but the planet don't care. It will deal with us on a geological time scale as it would with any failure of evolution. Our species is dominated by dead-enders.
