the program of this has been to kill america's soft power, strangle high education (not once thinking about that the knock on effects of that alone are a recession), laying off tens of thousands of a federal employees *and* contractors, so they then also gut Medicaid for a tax cut - ThreadSky

a program of national immiseration for the sake of rank corruption and outright plundering the state, all the while fucking with the shit that people have taken for granted

This is basically the Liz Truss platform; she didn’t outlast the lettuce

Kinda makes you wonder if the sabotage is purposeful huh

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

genuinely

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

its genuinely like going down a list crossing off america's competitive advantage

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Gee I wonder who might enjoy seeing such a thing happen, and if Trump has any history of corrupt connections to said person

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

honestly think the bigger thing is the Elon is entirely dependent on the Chinese and he's giving them everything they could ever want, more or less

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean as far as I can tell Trump is corruptly connected to every autocratic regime on the planet, so

Plenty to choose from

I agree but also Musk is absolutely stupid before being absolutely corrupt.

So I wouldn’t rule that he’s doing everything of his own accord because he genuinely think that the states isn’t useful

The military and intelligence cuts are pulling me in that direction, when so much of the rest could be chalked up to deranged-but-recognizable conservative orthodoxy.

I’m hoping our friend Dwight called this one correctly

Also America's hard power

Let's be real here, the program is to kill America so Trump can punish us for rejecting him and Putin can punish us for defeating the USSR.

loudpenitent.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our government is out to destroy the country.

That’s it. All the projection they manifested, and now they’re in the position to fulfill their wildest fantasies. Truly challenging to comprehend.

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

yeah

I think they're thinking about the recession piece. They want the uppity workers who've been able to make modest demands of their bosses to be brought down a hundred pegs.

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

and that's not even touching the tariffs

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

and there's all the things at the margins that have been cooked up in a lab to cut their base to the very bone. if taken at face value they're basically begging for another farm crisis

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

i genuinely struggle to think what could be a *more* ruinous program—the only thing I can think off is hitting the CANMX tariffs and a general tariff, which we are very much not out of the woods with Tariff Otaku

A dust bowl, pandemic, recession, trade war, terrorism. It’s all being dished out by an administration who wants to punish all of America for daring to convict him of his crimes.

snarkranger.bsky.social•2 days ago

oh it's got to be in the hundreds of thousands at this point.

unavaleable.bsky.social•2 days ago

yeah i was not sure how to phrase the numbers, because don't actually have a good frame of reference

davidsamuelauer.bsky.social•2 days ago

The knock on effects are vonsidered. Trump wants America in abject misey so he can have his way with us.

It is not stupidity on his part, but cruelty and power madness.
