So it took all of a week to normalize Musk firing Federal employees with literally no authority to do so.

Is what Trusk is doing legal? No. Is anybody going to stop them? Also no.

The DOJ is weaponized. The FBI is weaponized. Take care with what you say online, even if you’re just joking or letting off steam.

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

He's not trolling or distracting us. He's telling us exactly what he will do. The "opposition" doesn't want to oppose and they'd rather hide behind "he's kidding" than rise to this moment.

I am getting fundraising texts from the Democrats while they are literally doing nothing to stop this coup. Feckless, worthless, corrupt cowards.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

The incels who gave us the Juicero think they’re the pinnacle of human evolution and are burning down the government to prove it.

This is exactly right. And it’s why it was political malpractice, based on a complete misunderstanding of who they were up against, when Democratic leaders - from across the party’s political spectrum - signaled, right after the election, they would gladly work with DOGE on specific issues.

It's not incompetence, it's corruption. The entire political class, Dems included, only do what the donors want. The donors want to destroy this country and rule from the smoldering pile. The Dems are facilitating this as much as the GOP chuds.

The right isn’t unaware of how the government works and what’s illegal. They’re daring you to stop them. And nobody will.

Hey libs, you can keep saying FAFO but realize you are no different to the fascists than the rest of us despite what you think. You'd better start making allies because we're about to descend into something we haven't seen in our lives, and your political superheroes will be invisible.

The blame game is silly as I don’t think it matters much that Harris lost this particular election.. even if she’d won, Dems would not have done a thing to secure the nation from the rising tide of right wing insurrection and so these extremists likely would have won/stolen the next election anyway.

Elon Musk is trying to take over the USA so he can reinstate feudalism with billionaires as kings, in case that wasn’t already apparent. This sounds insane and is still in fact 110% accurate.

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

Just wanted to mention that when the Trump admin manages to do away with any social programs, they won't be re-instated when a savior democrat gets in office. Signed, a person alive for the Reagan years.
