There were so many off-ramps from this catastrophe over the past four years -- to say nothing of the past forty. Officials chose not to take them. And very few investigate why.

People did not tell pollsters that interest rates were too high - they told pollsters that America was in a deep recession and that unemployment was at all time highs! Ya there's some "what even *is* a recession" but no one thinks it's "stock market at ATHs, unemployment at all times lows"

The thing that it pretends to be is exactly what it is: a means to take a wrecking ball to the government. It is not at all a way to more efficiently fund science or anything like that. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous.

too many people have taken too long to appreciate the scope of the peril
I'm still gobsmacked they let unvetted criminals into the payment pipes unsupervised
just a complete failure like if they decided not to lock the doors at the Smithsonian
Any sane person understands the peril

real reminder what a low bar for human/good speaker it is in Democratic quarters
ones that can speak well, like Booker, don't seem to have anything they actually care enough about to act upon, unless it's that they're truly passionate @ AIPAC

I think it's important to name that, because it ties all the shit together. (It also, if this becomes important-I'm on the fence-gives Pritzker, for that matter FDR-we'll get to that-a place in the Revolution here).
Plutocracy comes from the same base impulse as patriarchy & white supremacy.

No, in theory they don't HAVE to go together, but it's also not a coincidence that they do.
The whole point of this wretched bunch of sociopathic ghouls loosely masquerading as a political party/administration is that they need to feel superior in order to feel alive at all.

What is a good resistance strategy when they sabotage federal agencies from within? We don't seem to have one. Lawsuits, though mostly successful, are of limited use after they've ripped out the plumbing and wiring.
