On Shitty Politics

Republicans have been working hard to deny going all-in on Replacement Theory, but then they pimp it just as hard in their attempts to 'win' elections.

This has to be the apex of cynical manipulation. Their "platform" - the effects of their constant dabbling in Stochastic Terrorism - threatens them as well as the rest of us. But somehow they think they can stay in front of it without being trampled themselves.

And it's not just the monster they've created that they have to be wary of - there's this whole angle too:
You can prove yourself to be very effective at stirring up trouble and pointing it at your political targets as a means to disrupt and overturn a government - which makes you quite useful to the ones who will ultimately take power. But once they're in those positions of power - when they become the government - they can no longer afford to have revolutionaries in their midst, and you'll be among the first ones eliminated.

Why do you think the founders of this joint - having won their new nation through violent insurrection - why did they then set about designing and engineering a new form government very specifically intended to avoid the need for revolution?

And I really wish the Press Poodles would dig deeper for the people and the dark money that we know has to be working behind the scenes.
