    I mean, he basically was last time. So…yeah.

    Nothing the GOP is doing right now helps the United States.

    Just have to ask “who does it help?” And the answer over and over is: Russia.

    Edit: Maddow did a piece saying this exact thing (which was the impetus for my post initially). And I know WE all know that, but I hope more on air personalities keep saying it.

      • Destroying the economy of the USA: check
      • Deviding the country: check
      • Supporting rather Russia than Ukraine: check
      • Weakening the EU: check

      Have I forgotten something?

      There is a second angle to all of it, and that’s the Elon Musk/Peter Thiel/JD Vance angle, which also appears to be aimed at imploding the US but the goal there is privatizing government rather than helping foreign nations.

          Afaiu, they don’t give a hoot about Russia, they just see the US as “declining” and thus want the US to end as quickly as possible, so they can privatize the remains for their own benefit.

            Actually there’s more to it than just their own benefit, and it’s far more dangerous.

            It’s about saving the world by destroying it. There is this strange movement called accelerationism, basically the idea that tiday’s world is doomed and we should speed up it’s destruction to trigger {the rapture,world revolution leading to communism,settling Mars,alien intervention}.
