    I’d like to think they’re not completely stupid. They must know they’ll be getting a drubbing at the next election. So it baffles me why they want to make that an even bigger dicking?

    I can only imagine that know they’ll be fucked in opposition so why not start succession planning now. They’re not even going to try at the next election. But even that doesn’t make sense because you need to be elected to be in opposition!

    Fuck I have no idea 🤣.

      They’re not completely stupid, but they’ve become so absorbed in their ideology that they truly believe the rest of the world shares their viewpoint. As a result, they believe they won’t lose the next election if only they go all-out on the low spending, low tax, small state approach.

        It also tickles me that they’re supposed to be conservative (with a small c) yet want to gamble on this idea even after it caused them to be run out of office. Your think they’d advocate for a cautious steady approach that the markets could warm to over time?

          Their lack of self-awareness tickles me too. Mostly because the choice is either to laugh at them or cry.
