They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!”
This has been their process for… ever. They cut funding to government agencies (eg. FEMA), then when said agency has a hard time doing their job. they point a scream that the agency can’t do it’s job and should therefore have it’s funding cut. Rinse, lather, repeat. And right wing voters fall for the sham every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.
I close my eyes, take slow deep breaths, and with each breath slowly count up and down from 0 with the high number increasing by one on each cycle. Eg. 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0… It requires just enough concentration to keep my brain from drifting off to other thoughts (usually), but is boring enough that I rarely get to 9 without falling asleep. If find my mind does wander, I just try again.
