No commenters seem to have read the article.

This plant’s US population is extinct in the wild with some being kept alive in sanctuaries.

The plant is native to the Caribbean and there are still wild populations in other parts of the region, as per the article.

Still sad though. Salt water intrusion from sea level rise killed the US population.

I don’t think you meant it like this but I couldn’t help reading it in the cadence of “if you’re sliding into first and your pants are gonna burst, diarrhea” lol

The sad part is no Republican since Eisenhower in 1960 has had a balanced budget.

Clinton handed GW Bush a budget surplus in 2001 and is the last time we’ve had a balanced budget.

So by your definition Republicans have not been conservative in a very long time?

Edit: I initially listed LBJs 1969 surplus as the most recent Republican balanced budget due to a brain fart forgetting he was a Democratic politician.

I see what you’re saying. For what it’s worth I never used either term. That was u/originallucifer.

You have piqued my interest though. What would you consider Republicans if they aren’t conservatives? I consider them Far right conservatives. Radical conservatives if you will.

I do not disagree with what you’re saying.

My point was that this hypocrisy about the national debt predates MAGA by like 40 years. I posted an article explaining it all. Two Santa Clause Theory.

This was happening way before MAGA.

IMHO when objective truths became “fake news” and “alternative facts” became the truth for so so many people, our slide into facist movements became a free fall.

“But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.”

Relieved to hear it’s going to the ballot! I have faith in my AZ brethren.

My understanding is those few conservatives voted to repeal this bill to kill the movement to have reproductive health rights enshrined in the state constitution.
