Careful now. "Intellectuals" don't tend to do very well when things go that way. A heck of a lot of them will wind up losing their heads along with the elite. Techies, journalists, and other well-ish off white collar cogs in the machine would do well to think a little more about what people outside their bubble think about their profession's effect on society.

It's OK, the TCJA was from the party they oppose, so they don't mind you bad-mouthing that law. You had better not question the ACA or the "inflation reduction act."

Slow your roll. You have no idea who I am or what I stand for - and I'd bet we're more aligned than you think.

I'm of the opinion that both parties have been captured by criminals, so even if you fall on partisan lines, we agree on at least half. The ACA was a distraction tactic so the banks could rob us blind and the inflation reduction act isn't a lot better - so great, the top 1% are gonna pay 0.2% more in taxes. Whee.

The solution isn't to back the lesser evil, it's to stop backing evils altogether.

This. Y'all need to read more history.

The interesting history is people will behead even themselves to get at the elite. See everyone in Zim / Rhodesia driving out the farmers that they surely knew they needed to eat, followed by utter destruction of their foodstocks and hyperinflation.
