“Economically devastating” seems to be the plan nationwide. Tariffs, protectionism, shrinking the population by deporting working people, persecuting the educated and defunding education… None of this fascist stuff will do anything but drive the country into greater misery and poverty.
The grift, I get. The bigotry, I get. The hate, I get. Hell, even the fealty to Putin, I get. But at this point, they’re veering into gratuitous destructive stupidity without any upsides that I can fathom at all, not even abhorrent ones. I don’t get it.
