    I grow more convinced every day that the explicit goal of the Republicans as a whole is to destroy the US - economically, politically and socially - so that they and their cronies and patrons can (so they hope) buy up pretty much everything of value, completely jettison any notion of liberty, justice and democracy and build a theocratic, feudalistic autocracy essentially from the ground up.

    They aren’t undermining foreign relations, destroying the economy and destabilizing the country as some sort of side effect of their agenda - undermining foreign relations, destroying the economy and destabilizing the country is the agenda.

        I think you mean private equity, which act as the scavengers of the economy, dismantling companies and selling them off piece by piece. Venture capital is about funding 20 startups and hoping one of them becomes the next Google.

      Oh no this is literally what they want to do. Elon musk is at the forefront of it and is straight up too stupid to realize it’ll leave him worse off.
