Sunday thought: A national reckoning -Robert Reich

2. I am beginning to think RFKJR's brain worm is actually an alien parasite

that has also infected the brains of everyone in the Trump administration, and obviously Trump himself, along with most MAGA. It's an Invasion of the Body Snatchers scenario in which an alien race has taken over the brains of the people in power and some percentage of the population for the sole purpose of destroying the world's most powerful country. Once that's done the aliens can conquer the rest of the world and take the natural resources they need, leaving the remaining humans to die off due to climate change.

I can't think of any other reason why everything they do is so contrary to rational thought, common sense and self-preservation. Even the greed of the oligarchs doesn't explain it, because the wealthy aren't immune from the consequences of this destruction either. Wealth goes only so far when your property is destroyed by once-predictable weather events, or you become ill with a disease or condition that could have been cured by the scientists who left the country because their research was terminated, or treated by the immigrant doctors whose visas were revoked, in hospitals that closed because they were no longer funded or staffed; or when even the ordinary services you once relied on are no longer available because the immigrants who used to provide them have been deported. It's so senseless that it can't be explained by anything other than mass insanity caused by alien brain parasites.
