Things are so weird these days, it's so hard to have an opinion on things like that for me.

There is definitely going to be an element of "don't let a good tragedy go to waste" and the stars did finally align with who is sitting on the supreme court. That was part strategy, but mostly lucky accident for the GOP. Three judges?!? During a period where they just successfully ran the Mad King? What luck for them!

I also have a hard time believing that "the man behind the curtain" gives a damn about our material conditions, even to manipulate us. A lot of us have never experienced anything outside of the status quo that we live in now. Their buddies are getting richer, there's nothing we can do about it, and they control it like it's hooked up to a potentiometer. Naturally, they know there will come a point where they can't squeeze us anymore. We won't be able to afford gas to drive to the depression factories that are our jobs and spin on the hamster wheel for worthless money that all goes back into their pockets when we pay rent, mortgage, utilities, and shop for groceries. We won't be able to afford the houses BlackRock bought up if the prices are insane.

But I do agree that they keep dangling the carrot for the next election, and it's always the same issues. There are still enough people with something to lose that will fall for it too. Some people's jobs and social circles depend on it.

As for the leaked draft.... Old people suck at computers.
