I think you may be right. The first bill (the green new deal), was so ridiculous on its face. The marionettes violently tried to slam that square peg into a round hole, and it worked people up into a frenzy, almost like the whole thing was meant to be a distraction. The process left people with a sense of victory in its defeat, and they are probably now less vigilant, or fatigued because of it. Congress tends to legislate in the most damaging ways similar to how magicians use sleight of hand to deceive the audience. Right now, I think Republicans would have to be on board but many of them are probably game to clown around and have already sold their souls to the puppetmasters. It's a nasty business, the business of government is. Whoever said "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance" sure wasn't joking. I'm Hoping for a miracle, but as you've illustrated, the plan is insidious with monstrous tentacles coming from all directions. We need articles like this one to get picked up by the right people and outlets. See you next time @perceptualflaws, have a great week/weekend!
