They’re tearing out the walls looking for the cathedral, and they’re doing it because the GOP knows its been doing wingnut welfare for decades and is looking for the same thing in its opposition
the obsession with USAID and the US Institute of Peace (which studies peaceful transitions to democracy) are particularly instructive. they believe that all protesters are paid. what's the solution? dismantle the payment agencies which pay the protesters.
ah i see bret had this observation earlier! but he's right. and it is downstream of the idea that most people are NPCs who perform whatever programming they're given. as the administration sees it, they're going after the programmers.
