I’ll note that the current text of the bill doesn’t just get rid of tax credits; it actively imposes taxes on wind and solar to negate their cost advantage over fossil fuels.

    I get the idea of being short, clear and consistent. It’s a good way to do messaging, even for liberals that like nuance. The nuance can come later.

    But repeating acronyms like “maha”, just like “maga” - it sounds so infantile.

    Worse, if you try to even think about any of it, and get into any nuance, such as - what does someone like Taco and Brainworms even mean by “healthy”? Taco doesn’t believe in exercise, for example and was extremely overweight and feasts on garbage food. He seems to have dropped some weight recently, but it is probably from GLP-1s, I bet. He thinks he has very magical genes or something and therefore seems to do fuck-all for a health regimen, or at least not anything I can discern.

    And Brainworms? What is his idea of “healthy”? Rampaging against seed oils? Vaccines?

    And what do they mean, “again”? When was America last healthy? Was it before vaccines, when many kids died of preventable things like measles? I remember when the teabaggers were having fainting spells over Michelle suggesting kids eat vegetables and now they want to sign off on these clowns taking away my access to vaccines?

    The right wing is going to baby-talk all of us right into a total and complete shitshow the likes of which this country has never seen.
