    They are too ignorant to have intent. If they knew what they were doing, they’d realize the futility in doing it.

    “Why commit yourself to a war you know you’re going to lose?”

    Because their blind hate and stupidity compels them, not intentions.

      No, do not do their work for them. Republicans have been leaking their plan to do a whole lot more worse things if Trump wins. The followers might be dumb, but the leaders ARE NOT dumb and DO have a plan to take power and do terrible things with that power.

      In other places, China has been slowly buying up Africa and other developing nations with loans they can never pay back. Christofascists are creating little fiefdoms in Africa, too. Russia is still a world power with intent on building a new empire.

      They don’t have to have a perfect plan that cannot be defeated before they’ll try to do it.

      Enacting their own will is THE ENTIRE POINT. They don’t care if people push back.

        They can’t maintain and hold power because it is illegitimate to the will of the people, so they will fail. If they knew this, they wouldn’t be fascist authoritarians. I.E. They are too dumb to know what they are doing will fail. Ignorance is the banality of evil.

          No, do not be the ignorant one. They have jerrymandered many places to hell and they do not need to perpetually keep power to fuck things up for decades, anyways.

          Or are you so naive that you think Trump’s damage was over the moment he was out of office? Does stacking the supreme court not hurt everyone? Does normalizing fascistic laguage not hurt everyone?

          Not everything has to be written in to law for politicians to royally fuck things up.

          That’s only about the US. Do you seriously think Russia or China are going to have a revolution soon?? What about all of the religious rulers in the middle east? Not all authoritarians can be removed. Your view is incredibly narrow and naive.

      Right-wing ideology is neither blind nor stupid.

      It exists to protect the status quo. That is it’s only reason for existing. And the people at the top is perfectly conscious of what it is they are spouting.
