Exactly. People saying "we need to vote them out in the midterms" are delusional. That's 2 years away, if it happens at all. Look at all he has done in 2 weeks.
This is so true and I had a few people upset that I wish them all dead. Like, this isn’t a drill. Look at history. This is the only way u remove these people once they are in power.
This is important because the banking Lobby is huge and if they believe that enough of us are going to start pulling money out of banks because of Doge , they're going to start putting pressure on the Republican Party.
I'm not advocating that. We do not want to have a run on banks because it will crash the economy and it would be disastrous for all of us. But everybody has to make their own personal choices. Pulling out of the large corporate banks that have a voice in the lobby sends a strong message
I sincerely doubt you will have a choice. Crashing the economy is the entire goal. There will be a run on banks, but it won’t be the depositors taking the money. It will be enemy states.
The dollar is no longer the world reserve currency. Those days are over.
& you guys think you’ll b able to elect him out in 4 years?! No chance - given what he & his cabal are doing now, even if he’s dead/incapacitated his ‘regime’ will live on. Rule of law & democracy is dead. Free & fair elections ended in the run up to Nov ‘24! Musk made sure of it.
This is a bloodless Coup led by Putin's Puppet: the only remaining check are Generals & Admirals who took an oath "to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST FOREIGN & DOMESTIC (GOP) ENEMIES," the oath I also took to attend USNOCS in 64! Harris/Jefferies/Congressional Dem leaders must authorize this NOW!
Just had my students ask today how people get an autocrat out of power. And then I waited a moment and said, let’s think back to what we’ve learned about in history. One kid was like “oh. Right. Yeah. Not easily.”
Another fun fact is that no Dictator in history has ever "retired" or been voted out of office.
Worse is that often their families suffer an equal consequence as well as their most loyal followers and officers.
I'm not sure Americans have it in them(us) but I hope so. It's not safe to let Elon live, and it's probably not smart to comment my opinion on what we should do with the orange.
Not really. This sucks knowing we didn't learn from WWII. Burning books and denying history doesn't change the direction this country is headed towards.
I am deeply sadden.
If Trump is the next Franco we may have to wait until he just finishes out his term as a dictator through old age. And hope that powerful people will reinstate democracy. As the Spanish king did.
People are usually compliant when it's not their welfare (that they know of) on the line, but I predict that they'll really get pissed once you start fucking with THEIR money.
Well, that's exactly what's happening. Everyone will be a target. Elderly have to worry about their benefits. It's actually DEIA. No one is talking about access.
Too early to conclude this. Respectful disagreement here. Trump WILL self-destruct...but We The Majority have to set up the conditions for his own overreach and self-sabotage.

It just "is" now.
Until he crashes the dollar and hyperinflation hits and money is worthless anyway.
The dollar is no longer the world reserve currency. Those days are over.
Maybe after a weekend of celebration.
Or not...
Worse is that often their families suffer an equal consequence as well as their most loyal followers and officers.
