I think that’s being a little dramatic. It’s not like the US has a history of ignoring extremist political movements to the point that they achieve legitimate power in government.

Both valid theories I’d say.

Nicely worded.

I think it’s good that some do. I especially love Pete Buttigieg’s efforts on fox. For all those millions of chronic fox viewers, it’s the only way they’ll ever hear a rational perspective on any issues, and it might just be enough to get some of them to start thinking again.

You should definitely do that. But also stay informed and help out in any efforts to primary these sellouts and help install real progressives at every level of the Democrat party.

I’m yet to see them ask for forgiveness…

Would be a shame if the starving masses and the farmers with produce rotting in their fields got together and realised that this administration is the cause of all their problems…

I don’t understand how they justify this. Over the last year he’s been nothing but a liability for all of his businesses. I find it hard to believe that the people responsible for this decision value loyalty to musk more than profit, so what’s really behind it???

No, haven’t you heard? This time the poll numbers are DISASTROUS!!!

I’m sure they know that. Back in the Obama days, saying “thanks Obama” for things that couldn’t possibly be Obama’s fault was a popular way to mock republicans, who legitimately did blame Obama for literally every problem the US had.

I love Seth and I’ll be sad when he gets taken to a concentration camp.

The entire US is wile e coyote. It’s off the edge of the cliff and gravity is about to kick in any second.

I’d like to see every ICE agent have it forcibly tattooed on their face so that for the rest of their lives they will never be able to hide what they are.

We are lucky. I’m Australian and lived in the US from 2005 to 2015, so it was easy for us to move. I think what really tipped my wife over the edge was going to watch our daughter’s kindergarten class Christmas concert on the day of the Sandy Hook shooting. That was the most surreal experience of my life, just typing it now still chokes me up a bit. It’s fucking sad, because there was a lot that I loved about the states.

The writing has been on the wall for a while

I saw this coming when the tea party appeared. Moved my wife and daughters out of the US in 2015 for precisely this reason. When I lived there I owned a rifle and a shotgun, not because I thought I’d need to defend myself against criminals or immigrants, but because I thought there was a pretty good chance I’d have to defend myself against right wingers.

I’d really love to know how the maga crowd feel about that, it’s a question I’ve had for quite a while.

That’s the whole problem.

Well like I said, pretty much all of these mega rich people don’t have any income on paper, otherwise they would have to pay income tax. And rich people hate paying taxes.

JFC, this is the first I’m hearing about Harris calling trump a communist. Get your shit together, Kamala. This shit just makes you look as stupid as he is.

It’s not wages that are the problem, it’s compounding multi-generational wealth. It’s very easy for rich people to make their income zero.
