Even if you don’t give a f*ck about decency, it is simply irrational to do it like that if it were about cost cutting. The only goal of this can be to create trauma and more violence, like one person in the article rightfully quotes. This is to provoke people into violence, plain and simple.

- Capricorn2481 1y agoThe problem with conspiracy theorists is they thrive on the truth being just out of reach. Blatant corruption is not interesting to them, it has to be something slightly unknowable. So when the richest person in the world, who is part of a party that controls all three branches of government and the military, tells you "Oopsie, we actually can't cut the important stuff because we might get in trouble," you guys actually eat it up.
- isleyaardvark 1y agoThat was the explicitly stated goal of the creators of Project 2025. “We want to put them in trauma.”
- rjbwork 1y agoYes. They've said it even more blatantly. “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” These people do not believe in America as it exists or the promise of what it could be. They hate us and they want to destroy what we have to create something fundamentally different.

- darkwater 1y ago> Political violence against disagreeable people is disturbing and I wish you would condemn it. If the end game of those disagreeable people is to literally ruin one's life, violence as an answer is understandable.

- jeffbee 1y agoName any act of violence that has been committed by a "left" person this "political season," whatever time frame that encompasses.
- dwoldrich 1y agoAre you in the states? ICE protests that get violent. Burning Tesla dealerships. Assassinations. The list is long and growing.
