Literally and with no exaggeration, death panels. You know, the ones Republicans were yelling about a few years ago. Those exact fucking ones.

    Those same ones who screamed about fema prisons... At some point, we'll catch on that these conspiracy theories are actual plans...

    The question is: which came first? The conspiracy theory, or the plan? It could go either way with the party of family values.

    Ah, see, there's your problem: you're using a slight mistranslation. A common mistake. They were never the party of "Family Values". They're the party of "Family Valuations". They exist to find a way to put a number on every family, either "amount of money we can squeeze out of them" or "amount of money we can make by destroying them", and they get bonuses from their corpocratic upstream if they can manage both at the same time.

    Every accusation is a confession, right? That's how conservatives work. They're unimaginative people with poor empathy. They think about what they would do and assume that's what everyone else would do, too. They are trash. Failures. Disappointments.

    Failures in every way except for gaining power and wealth. A few of them anyway. The sad reality is that throughout history being ruthless always paid off to a large extent.

    Some of the leadership is getting a lot of wealth, true. The majority seem to be losing more. Loss of government programs (eg: Medicare). Return of preventable diseases (eg: measles). Pollution and climate change.
