This MAGA administration is going to be viewed by history like the Burning of the Library at Alexandria. How much institutional knowledge are we losing with these monsters?
As much as Russia can pay for.
So, basically everything?
Politicians can be bought out for embarrassingly low sums.
As much as the D’bags will allow. Which is the same as “Russia”.
Nah, it’ll be viewed more like this:
And all those Democrats who let it happen!
Right wings politics is destructive like a wild fire and the only things remaining will be the institutions which are resistant to the destructive attitudes, like Education (as burned as it is it cannot die) or HHS. They will be used by evil people who will eventually stop using them.
It’s the doomers who say “shit will all be dead in a few years” or “we can’t vote again” without any actual evidence except gut feelings. I have to remind my friends that even the most perfect forests see fires and what remains is where the forest has to start rebuilding.
We’ll get nice things back someday. Probably after declaring the Heritage Foundation a terrorist organization and arresting all those connected.
Almost 20 years ago this same thing happened in Canada under Stephen Harper’s tenure.
Despite the name, conservatism is one of the most destructive things that can happen to a country.
Conservatives hate learning and education because they’re in favor of slavery for the masses. No one who reads history is surprised: news at 11.
