For anyone who’s seen the quintessential slasher classic “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” the destructive power of a man wielding a chainsaw is the indisputable stuff of nightmares.

But the same could easily be said about this year’s remake featuring Elon Musk, where the dancing chainsaw slasher reenacted, for Conservative Political Action Conference theatergoers, a scene eerily reminiscent of the original. I’m thinking, specifically, of that unforgettable final scene, where Leatherface fades to black swinging his gas-powered murder weapon wildly through the air as he helplessly watches his last potential victim make her last-minute daring escape, dangling from the back of a stranger’s pickup truck.

Unfortunately for America — Musk’s America, Trump’s America — there is no stranger, there is no pickup truck. Only the chainsaw.

    So you’ve found 10 posts about Elon and Trump’s fued,

    No, I’ve found this posters last 10 posts were ONLY the idea that this is all a distraction. How many times do we need to hear people say that? This poster isn’t the only one spamming that same idea. We get it they think that. Why does that need to be spammed across every other topic?

    but I’ve seen virtually no posts on how Trump is preparing to send the national gaurd to police cities and enforce immigration laws. Literal martial law, while conveniently not calling it that. Just a few weeks away. But let’s make 10 posts about their little spat

    So start a thread on that. No one is stopping you.
