I mean. You have to give it to them. They are really going all in on destroying anything that actually made America great.

I’m not sure if that was the original goal, or even the intent now, but even with how terrible this news is, if the goal is to systematically dismantle a country, these guys are very very good at it.

You don't have to be good at anything to destroy things, which is why it's all they brag about.

I guess you are right. The staggering thing for me is the shear apathy required to do what they are doing. It’s revolting and frankly terrifying, but fascinating.

There is a yet to be diagnosed mental illness involved here, for so many people to so callously trumpet and parade toward things that actively and directly hurt them as well, just to prove some imaginary point.

It’s like psychopathy mixed with a side of Stockholm flavoured bias soup.

Fascism is a mental illness, luckily it can be treated at home.

They're running it like a business. Sell everything of value, bail when it crashes.

Use 1984 rules, reverse everything they say, that is the actual goal.

The National Parks were literally the last thing that would entice me to travel to the US

It's like whoever is directing his actions just wants to twist the knife a bit. But there are so many evil fucks to choose from that it doesn't really narrow it down. Could be a Putin "fuck the americans" thing, could be a Miller "fuck everybody" thing, who knows.
