Presidente Caca de la Cabeza
This image came to me during a bike ride and, as i peddled along, I tried to make sense of what it means.
Was it picturing narcissicism? Home schooling? Willful ignorance? Illiteracy?
I settled on "enshittification" because, yeah, what else could it be?
---------------
The willingness of the Republican Party to stand helplessly by while Trump's shutdown continues seems, to me, just their crass, sinister attempt to destroy the ACA.
And the method is pretty clear.
As insurance rates rise to unaffordable levels for so many American families it will be the first of many baby steps towards a death spiral for the ACA. As millions of families and individuals begin choosing food and rent over health care they will, by necessity start, canceling their insurance policies. This leaves fewer users in the pool which leads to higher prices. Run through this cycle a couple of more times and, poof, there goes the ACA.
The ultimate-ultimate purpose of the GOP, in this regard, is to let poor people die meaning, in their sick, entitled minds, that eventually only good, White rich people will remain alive to invest money into a stock market that will never stop spinning out gold. Meanwhile all the hard work of producing food and consumer goods will be handled by elves.
I'm just guessing, of course, because I have a normal brain that thinks all humans should work together to help one another instead of whatever the fu ck is in the Republican mind.
