I honestly feel Republican strategy is to do as much damage as possible before elections, such that some of it is impossible to undo (federal appointees, budget commitments), undoing some of it can be used as rhetorical ammo for the next round, and some of it will make their backers tons of money before it is undone.
We’re talking about the mentality which does cost benefit analysis and goes hey, cheaper to pay for damages than invest to prevent ‘em. That’s why we get weekly outrages imho.

@drwho here, I’m gonna go to the shore and scream for a bit.

It’s like trying to make something sane and genuinely prosperous is bound to lose out to rich assfucks who want to get in, crap up the place, cash out. And the rest of us get to at best try to fix it, and at worst there’s all the horrors undocumented folks are getting from ICE. How many of us are going to die for this crap? And they’ll never be accountable and like with Reagan and Bush II history will get whitewashed again, and the whole thing makes me so incoherently frustrated.
