Nah. Then they'd just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let's keep that. In fact... Let's make it happen. That would be so sick.

/s (even though I really shouldn't have to)

Holy shit... How can you rightly identify that the US military (and the US government's use of said military) is evil, and that killing people for their ideas just spreads those ideas, but then somehow come to the conclusion that public health mandates during a pandemic are unconstitutional and "billionaires in this country got rich by actually serving their fellow man"?

Fucking hell, the propaganda machines are in overdrive.

Appreciate a veteran telling kids not to join the military. (Assuming this was written by an actual veteran, and isn't just fictional propaganda.)

The rest is idiotic corpo bootlicking unrelated to the topic.

I'm starting to give legitimate consideration to the question, "Are they trying to lose?"

I know, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence", but... Come on! At what point is it no longer an "adequate explanation"?!

Shit, I'd do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

I somehow don't think we'll find a site that breaks down every purchase the government has made, let alone one that specifically detects and highlights corruption.

So I guess the official budgets are the best I can do to helpfully answer the question. Sorry.

I haven't had my blood boil like reading that McConnell piece.

I can't even put the rage into words.

That must be hyperbole, right?

Like... The Enron guys at least, right?

Sure, but that quote calls it a "virus" but the headline says "fungus".

The whiplash when I realized it wasn't a critique of those ideas but endorsing them.

It literally read like they were outlining those positions as straw men to be torn down, and then was like, "Yep! That scarecrow has the right idea!"

Just did a quick search, "interactive chart of us state and federal budgets".

Found this government site for federal budgets: https://www.cbo.gov/interactives

For instance, here's a page with charts for the 2023 federal budget: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59727

I would hope similar sites exist for most, if not all, of the states.

I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.

Patient zero is a prominent politician.

His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.

Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.
