Republicans: we will destroy this country. We will bring our enemies to heel.

Democrats:

Democracies weren’t built around this. They depend on a shared reality, however contested, to function. When governance becomes a battle between competing fictions rather than policy and truth, institutions designed for debate and compromise become tools for enforcing narratives.

this was how i was taught john steinbeck

I mean, it’s not like they’ve been subtle about it.

If they wanted to replace 80% of the workforce they would start by gutting government systems, replacing with private sector companies, and then replacing employees with AI…resulting in full control with no pesky regulations or a “woke” workforce to deal with.

"Anti-woke politics is anti-labor politics, but aimed specifically at professional employees."

I also really like this bit: "[C]omplaints about 'DEI,' 'wokeness”'and so on are in large part complaints about workers who are not obedient, who reverse the natural order of things by berating the boss, and who can’t be replaced and who’ve been spoiled by a college education."
