GOP delenda est.

I think such a question is a diffraction from the joke.

Same reason why Reagan ripped the White House’s solar panels out that Carter had installed.

The GOP is a party of hate and spite to disguise stealing money to give to the wealthy.

Taxpayers deserve to have us take a thorough look at our workforce top-to-bottom to see where we can eliminate redundancies.

Great! I think there are some job titles that are obviously inefficient or redundant. We should fire everyone whose title is:

1. Acting. We don’t need actors; we need committed employees!
2. Under-secretary. If we have a secretary, we don’t need a redundant one!
3. Any title involving the name of a meme coin. We already have the USD; that’s good enough!
4. Whatever title Elon Musk has. His entire existence is inefficient and redundant.

Something in French.

there’s not enough food to support a larger population in the areas they live,

And that’s because the areas they live in are shrinking due to climate change.

edit: wtf autocarrot?

You’re conflating two unrelated things to make some weird anti-government point.

Conservatives believe that hierarchical structures are the natural order of things. That is, things on top of the hierarchy deserve to be there, because otherwise they’d be at the bottom. Conservatism as a political philosophy requires the belief that some people are just better than others.

A belief that a strong government is required to enforce equality in the population is nothing like that.

And if there is one uniting principle in conservatism, the singular reason why religious dirt-poor common-clay-of-the-West support billionaires, is that they all deeply believe in hierarchies.

Why do they go after trans-women but not trans-men? Because men are naturally higher in the hierarchy than women, thus wanting to exist in male spaces (but not actually crossing into them) is seen as the proper order, whereas wanting to exist in female spaces (read: lowering yourself in the hierarchy) is seen as unnatural.

Why do they fellate the rich? Because the wealthy are better people, which is tautologically why they’re rich.

Why are they racist? Because white people are better than not-white people, natch.

Why do they hate atheists? Because the very concept of religion implicitly enforces hierarchy. Sectarian disputes are just an offshoot of this.

Umm, if one is afraid of bird flu, wouldn’t “organic” eggs be worse to buy?

If you buy a Pixel, you’re supporting Google which is probably worse.

Maybe a Nothing Phone or a OnePlus?

Nah. I’m in the “everyone involved in crypto needs repeatedly swift kicks in the nads” camp but spending the rest of your life digging in a garbage dump looking for gold is also acceptable.

“You see, the short hair means she’s a no-nonsense badass, but the long hair indicates she still has a soft, vulnerable, feminine side that can be won over by the male interest leading to the obligatory gratuitous sex scene, right before he is killed by the aliens.”
