It's part of the Shock Doctrine... to horrify and push us past the limit s that we are left not knowing what to do within reason because this is not reasonable. It's wear us down to the point of compliance by way of exhaustion.

(9,963 posts)Trump and Republicans seem not to care at all how their actions affect even US citizens. Part of that may be that Trump assumes, mostly correctly, that everyone who lives along the border is Hispanic and thus not real people or real citizens with any rights. That Republicans bow down to this buffoons every action, irrational or not, is totally baffling. I understand that they fear his tweets, but do none of them have a care for what he is destroyingnot just our physical world but any trust in government, racial harmony, ability to accomplish anything meaningful through government, and probably advancing a recession?

This project needs to be stopped about a minute after the next president has stopped all ANWR oil exploration activity.
I'm glad he said last night that his decisions are not "political" at all. He's doing this for the "people". Otherwise, I might have thought that the science illiterate was making a political decision to impress his base, while giving the political finger to the opposition.
