    To pay it they have to raise taxes or cut services…

    Something voters will feel, and make it more likely they vote out the current shit leadership.

    I live in a red state, I know what I’m saying we do and there’s a nonzero chance it happens to the state I live in…

    Doesn’t make it a bad plan. It means I’ve thought of the consequences long before making that social media comment.

          I just don’t think that we’re going to agree that “the people need to suffer, if not in this way then another” is the enlightened take that you seem to think that it is. So I’ll agree to disagree here, have a good day.

            I think I’m just not being clear:

            They will suffer more if republicans stay in charge.

            Bailing them out over and over again makes them think Republicans are doing a good job

            Republicans having to raise their taxes to cover lack of preparedness even as more continue to happ ns makes them realize shit is not being handled, and that replacing the republicans would be a good idea.

            We agree, you’re just thinking short term.

            And I’m saying how to fix it long term rather than having the short term problem over and over and over again u til the end of time.

              I think you are assuming way to much rationality on the part of Republican voters. Republican politicians will just blame the Democrats, immigrants, and DEI for the failures, and Republican voters will eat it up.

              I have understood your position as you just explained it since your first comment; you have been clear. I don’t think we agree at all, to be honest.
