I agree, I don’t think many (or any?) of them are consciously thinking “I Must Hasten The Apocalypse As Foretold By The Book Of Revelations,” but it’s something embedded within fundamentalist Christianity here. My mom and I were discussing it yesterday.
The reason (or a reason, at least) fundamentalist right-wing Christian Republicans don’t care about coming up with a solution to this is because of their brand of Christianity. They believe that the apocalypse is coming soon, Jesus will return soon, and that all the shittiness in the world (gun violence, poverty, climate change, etc.) is due to that and because in Christianity the apocalypse is a good thing (Christians will go to heaven), they want to hasten it. Fundamentalist American Christianity and the reactionary thought that accompanies it must be destroyed if any of us want to survive even the next decade.
Welp, I guess now is a good time to get into reuseable period products (cloth pads, menstrual cups, etc.).
