If the death ray is the two party system, then some members from one party support plans to dismantle the death ray, while the other party wants to build something even worse than the death ray. If the death ray is shitty things both parties agree on in general, they usually have a solid majority of the population in support of the death ray. However, even explaining this to you is more of a response than you deserve.
You called me a wonk with brainworms for calling fascists what they are, ignoring everything I said after that about shifting the narrative to more important topics. I even explained how identifying fascists isn't unhinged, yet you doubled down because you never actually cared about good faith discussion. It's too late to walk back to a reasonable position when you made it obvious that you think taking politics seriously is stupid.
"There's no shark in the water. Open the beaches so you don't ruin the 4th of July weekend Brody. Quit being alarmist. It's not like that many people will die anyways."
Few things are more pathetic than lazy slimeballs like you, smug in their apathy.
I don't want to take away your food stamps. That's the worms talking again.
Anyway, enjoy the death ray.
The worms didn't write your insulting and useless comments, but have fun lying to grieving mothers that lost their kids to sharks about how you totally argued for closing the beach.
No one will remember you didn't anyways.
Sanest US policy wonk.
Uses metaphors about alien death rays, yet can't understand an obvious Jaws reference.
Unparalleled genius
Most literate US policy wonk.
