It’s a mild relief that the most incompetent dipshits in Washington are the ones who tried to overthrow democracy.
I’m worried they won’t be as incompetent next time.
My tinfoil hat theory is the Rs have progressively put increasingly stupid people into the party to see how much the nation will tolerate. This started with Bush Jr., then tried with the tea party, backed off a bit, and let it bake for a while.
Then, once they got their ducks in a row, they got behind Trump. Someone so fucking stupid that anything he tried, they would just chalk up to insanity. When they saw it worked, they went all in, now with a fucking plan in Project 2025. Now ANYONE they put in ANY leadership role knows exactly what to do to burn it all to the ground.
