That's one of the most frustrating things about this right wing populism. They're correctly pointing out problems: wealth inequality, expensive housing, warmongering, etc. The problem they then cause is that they blame the source of these problems squarely on some scapegoats and then do things that only exacerbate the existing problems they diagnosed in the first place.

Billionaire donors gaining even more power and stripping the few checks against said power, doing shit all to make groceries cheaper, and now they're out there blowing up boats in international waters and committing large scale violence against people in this county. Yet... crickets from the folks who voted them in. Just maddening. They just wanted to shit on the scapegoats

its always anger or fear, these are the only 2 emotions conservatives can express.

White americans voted for Obama. Blacks are only 13% of the country.

Devo was right.

It's a good reason to consider sortition, or a system that distributes power so that it's super diffuse.

An example would be abolition of SCOTUS: Instead we create a special court for each individual case, pulling nine judges at random from the Appeals districts. That way, no Supreme Court justice can be owned the way Thomas and Alito are -- or one can, but they're not likely to get on all the cases a billionaire deems important.
