      And Jim Banks isn’t even the dumbest Republican in the Senate. That honor goes to Tommy Tuberville, hands down.

        There are a small portion of smart Republicans who are just evil and get the stupid ones to go along with them. See Project 2025 for an example.

          Yeahhhhhh idk man. I just don’t think it’s smart to support the group of people spurring on the destruction of the very environment that they require to survive. Both in a global warming sense as well as a general societal sense. Absurd unethical greed has worked a couple of times in history, but it backfires really frequently.

          I think the smarter tactic would be to simply keep the machine running the same way it has been, while giving fractions of your wealth to the poor as a pittance. That way you can still live an absurdly privileged life and not have to worry about being shot in the street in NYC.
