‘Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.” So said Nancy Pelosi, speaking on the civilizational apex that is Bill Maher’s show. As it turns out, she was correct. From our vantage point in 2021, with the rubble of mankind’s most abiding achievements strewn as far as the eye can see, we can begin to understand how the capture of the Senate by the GOP erased over 20,000 years of human progress.

The task of devolving a sophisticated technological culture to pre-civilization standards would seem daunting, especially for a party that appeared unable to reduce funding of any government agency to pre-Obama levels.
