That is certainly a pretty bold strategy.

Personally, I can’t see any problems arising from sending the most heavily armed civilian population in the history of the world to the poorhouse.

Let them eat cake on steriods

Nothing else makes sense

I would be surprised if any of them have heard a land acknowledgement before. That practice seems like a myth.

Tough pill when something my brilliant wife and I have been saying for weeks is skeeted out by someone who’s takes I’ve respected for years over on the bird site. Lords and peasants. That’s the goal, I fear.

Their wealth is their arc

Tycoons will die and their stupid ideas with them. Build something better for the world or people will remember you as a lunatic fool a la Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Qaddafi. We can now add to that list Trump, Musk, Koch, Thiel…

I tried explaining to my aunt months back that corporations wouldn’t stop Trump from wrecking the economy because ultimately what they’d really love is if everything still cost way too much & a larger slice of the working class was so much worse off they’d work for minimum wage (or lower!)

I think it’s worth it to them to not admit they fucked up

If the dollar devalues, that wealth quickly loses its value. They may have badly overplayed their hand, especially the mad king.

Think Oligarchs in post Soviet Union Russia — public assets being stripped for their benefit and increased power. CDP: created disaster politics.

But they are already kings of not ashes?

The irony that the people in my life who have been conspiracy theorist/“this is how they want to control us!” zeitgeist folks all turned and voted for Trump & now don’t recognize what’s happening right in front of them. They think it’s all “man behind a curtain” shit but nope, it’s just out there

The fact that this would never happen in France is a lesson.
