During the Vietnam War an officer was quoted as saying “We had to destroy the village in order to save it”.
The same scorched earth mindset is alive and well on the regressive Republican right.
So the next time you hear “We need to save Social Security!” or “We need to save Medicare!” remember that these programs are not in any immediate danger and do not need any risky Republican radical surgery. These surgeons aim to kill the patient, not cure it.
Do not let the current chaos (a vicious Psyops tactic being used to disrupt any rational opposition to their radical policies) blind you to the upcoming real danger: total destruction of the last eighty years of social and economic progress.
