    It’s a tragedy. It shouldn’t be this way at all. I never envisioned myself seeing politics as a team sport. But with how Republicans are now, there’s really no other choice. When one side defends antisemitism and bigotry, not treating politics as a team support to beat “their team” is outright immoral.

    Like you said, it’s distracting from the real issues. I’d much rather we discuss government economic policies and taxes and budgets, but fascists automatically take priority. It’s very fortunate for the billionaires propping up Republicans. They’ve lit the house on fire and we can’t ignore it.

    But, we can sure remember who they are and what they’ve done. I’m confident and hopeful that we’ll be able to beat back this wave of fascism with how many people are pissed off about abortion. And when that’s done, we deliver the billionaires their just desserts through wealth taxes and closing loopholes. I want to see Musk whine that 100% of his discretionary income is going to the government.
