          Not to absolve these people, but half of our government has been at full on war with education since at least Reagen. They’ve been fighting tooth and nail for an army of uneducated meat-bots for the past 40 years, and now their investments are paying off.

            And their war has been backed and funded by almost every big company. The amount of propaganda and lobbying pumped out against the people ever since Reagan has been insane

      The Reich wing found out that fighting a perpetual culture war where you make EVERYTHING out to be an attack on your sense of decency and morality and then have propaganda outlets do absolutely nothing else but harp on that culture war 24/7 and never report on your shit votes or comments is INSANELY effective at getting people to vote for you no matter how fucked up you are.

      A lack of empathy gets you into a position of power so you can be effectively evil.

    GOP hates people. Nothing new except in finding ways to hurt everyone more.

    They don’t care if people die

    They don’t see the people who will be affected by this as human

    They’re truly disgusting

    Seriously, GOP is just more evil than any evil fantasy created. Could it be that they really are Satan and his underlings come to earth 🤔

    …it’s bad enough these people are ugly on the inside, but another side effect of them being terrible is my feed is constantly just pictures of creepy saggy old white dudes.

    It’s the hierarchy. If you didn’t want to die of heat stroke, you should’ve been an Elon Musk.

    Just keep blaming the people they treat like expendable cogs.

    Well, now is the time it would be most expensive!

    If I were getting colder maybe they’d think about it.
