well, the way i think about it: if you’re a desert fox, does more rain and more food harm you?
well, consider: more rain -> more plants and more food -> it’s no longer a desert. but you’re a desert fox. what happens to you when you’re no longer in a desert?
basically the americans (especially the republicans) see themselves as semi-desert animals. they can live in a habitat where almost no-one else can live. but if you make the place more friendly, everybody could live there and then they would lose their habitat, due to being out-competed by others who are more adapt to a friendlier climate. or at least that’s how i imagine that they think; that’s why they keep their country shit and eternally semi-broken intentionally, in the hope that no-one else but them can live there, and so they have the whole country to themselves.
