Elon Musk has exited the White House—physically, at least.
Donald Trump’s “special government employee” is no longer working within the DOGE offices as he prepares his exit from the Trump administration and focuses more on saving his floundering businesses from failure.
“Instead of meeting with him in person, I’m talking to him on the phone, but it’s the same net effect,” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told the New York Post in an interview discussing the Trump administration’s first 100 days.
Historically what comes next is a FDR style candidate and a huge progressive movement…
Then 30-40 years later people will forget neoliberlaism was the root cause and the wealthy will buy off both parties again.
Shit is fucked at the moment, but there’s reasons to be optimistic for the future
I sure hope something good comes from it
It’s hard to see right now
I’m grateful that I live in a civilised country, but I would rather not see people harmed anywhere
Read up on history. Shit really is cyclical.
The details and timelines change, but the biggest thing we’ve ironically got going for us is Trump. He’s an idiot and rushing shit when it isn’t worth the risk to his plans.
He picked the fight with the SC years early for example, he should have spent three years slow-walking them even more to his side. But he’s an idiot.
If he had spent two years putting things in place they might hold on in midterms, then would have been the time to really start going nuts.
Anyone else and we’d be completely fucked, but trump is so dumb he bankrupted casinos, he’s gonna fuck this up.
Oh, the American people will definitely keep fucking things up for you
There’s a reason the rest of the world sneers at you (as a country, not as individuals)
You act like this is new for America and hasn’t happened anywhere else…
Which is crazy because it’s currently happening other places as well…
Like, you don’t seem interested in a conversation, and anything I type will just get an insult directed towards Americans as a reply.
Why punch down?
Why are you acting like trump and his cronies right now?
I’m not punching down
There are fucked up regimes all over the world. I could rant about Pakistan, Argentina, the Philippines, all sorts of places
But they don’t affect other countries like America does
Don’t you dare accuse me of acting like Trump and his cohort
How many US presidencies have you lived through? Some giving hope, most making shit worse
Exactly how trump would react…
No introspection, no questioning of their own behavior…
Just a vague threat because you’re mad someone is judging you on your own words.
Literal belligerence.

One of the most apt descriptions of Trump’s general behavior, which you clearly share
