It's possible the fascists just don't understand how the debt ceiling works, and that's why they want the US to default.
It's possible.
But remember, the nazis voted to dissolve the Reichstag. A defaulted government is easier to control, and people in the midst of economic crisis are more vulnerable and thus easier for the cult-like fascists to recruit. Fascists don't want government to function until they've taken over.
So don't assume it's ignorance.
Keep in mind that the US has enough revenues to pay its debts. It would not default.
If the debt ceiling wasn't raised, the US would be legally bound to prioritize the paying of its debts to avoid defaulting.
Maybe someday the debt load would be so high that revenues wouldn't cover it, but we're nowhere near that point now.
