    I don’t understand these guys. They know what they’re doing, and they know it’s to help a sick and despotic country wreck the United States. If that effort is successful… what do they think their dollars will be worth when the “full faith and credit of the United States of America” no longer means anything?

      These motherfuckers can’t see further than their nose. It’s a common problem with the right wing. Their motto should be “Modern problems require shortsighted solutions.”

      It’s not about the dollars, but about what they will get as a reward for their work and a new regime comes in. My guess is they hope they are continued, and safe, as the new dictatorship takes over and they think they will continue being useful as a mouthpiece of propaganda or given a position of power.

      That’s my guess anyway. It’s sick.

      Because they don’t think of it that way. Many want to return to the gold standard as well but that’s nuts. Regardless yeah, they see it more as attempting to rebuild the US into a fascist ally of Russia. I don’t think they actually understand that their actions devalue American currency by breaking the faith in the country.

      Also few people seem to really understand that the sole real value of the US dollar is that it’s the only currency that the US government accepts.

      And it’s defenders of justice, the constitution and democracy that are getting death threats from MAGAs today- SMH.
