Republicans are so desperate to cut taxes for the rich yet again, that they are using nazi terrorist destroying the government as a smoke screen. Once the money for the rich is secured, they will pretend to be angry at Musk for their constituents, right before the election.
I've been trying to frame things as class war- us against the billionaires. Division has always been the big Russian goal. I also don't like hating on MAGA peeps or those who voted for Trump. A lot of them were bamboozled and we need the people that have changed their minds. Encourage dialog.
I don't have the same mercy in my heart for MAGA. Their racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia were what were played on to radicalize them. They would still rather see us all dead, and women subjugated completely, even if it means burning down the entire country to do it.
I totally get that sentiment. However, a lot of the MAGA crowd aren't actually invested in politics and the disinformation sound bytes win. They come out with lies- people believe them. The truth comes out, but nobody hears it. It's the Russian disinformation.
The problem is, they ALSO take the culture war seriously...or at least seriously enough to endanger the lives of trans people, fracture the LGBT+ community, and let corrupt cops gleefully kill black, brown, and indigenous people wherever they think they can get away with it.
