Ask yourself, what is the ultimate goal? What are we being transformed into? A nation of people more exposed to environmental and communicable diseases? A nation of people less educated? A nation of people without disaster safety-net? A nation of people afraid, humbled, passive as we are lied to and watching our tax dollars fund the wealthy and authoritarian who will rule over us? Because I don’t know. I’m just asking, because all this seems insanity to me.

It looks totally bonkers to this old Aussie. Much depends, eventually, on whether tRump will openly disregard federal and Supreme Court rulings. That will be made much easier if the Big Beautiful Bill is enacted because it contains a clause requiring large deposits from judges before they commence contempt proceedings against any government officials.
