I've been insisting this blitzkreig is a bad way to do what they want to do because the guys at top lack discipline, consistency and organization. They lack the people beneath them to keep an iron grip on proceedings. For now. If they're not unseated those ppl will eventually present themselves.

To be clear, all of these 'mistakes' are opportunities for action, resistance and uprising. If no one takes those opportunities, they won't matter. But they're losing momentum, King Lear is off golfing, Musk's speed bender going rotten as the hours catch up and crash through his limbic system

I’m not saying you can’t be a little self-righteous.
But, “Nobody should have to pay that much for life saving medication. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I voted for the person who would have done differently, and I wish she’d won” carries a lot fewer assumptions.

I'll be your cautionary tale: If you haven't backed up your files recently— phone, computer, w/e— do it now, especially the stuff you won't entrust to somebody else's computer (cloud servers).
Found out the hard way that one of the ways a boot loop like this can go wrong is a forced factory reset 😕

I guess my point is that there is a vast gulf between someone saying
1) I wanted Trump to hurt other groups but he also harmed my own group
2) I now pay more for medicine and I don’t know how I’m going to make ends meet
One requires a follow up question, the other requires basic fuckin empathy

Once you decide one group can go under the bus, you've decided all of the groups can go under the bus.
At that point you're just negotiating preferred order.
