    You f-ing morons, you served the only purpose you were supposed to serve, you voted the coming autocratic reforms of the USA into power. Enjoy becoming as persecuted as the “left” was as only the most ignorant or most pandering voices of the coming dictatorship are left.

      These people always fall in line. They will again. They’re proud of being useful idiots. They’ll convenient nice themselves that this immigration is necessary for the economy, but Trump will stop the bad immigration or whatever. And Trump’s people will brutalize people coming from Mexico which will also sate some of their bloodlust. They’ll fall in line just as soon as someone tells them what to think.

      Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they’ll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I’m sure they’ll try, but god, I hope there’s still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.

          Im not sure how effective that will be. Part of the reason they are turning on each other is that everyone else has been so quiet since the election. If there were mass protests right now they would all be united behind having BLM declared a terrorist movement or something, not focused on each other.

            Oh no need to have organized protests. I believe we all have agreed that we’re well past time where that will have any significant impact. Besides, it’s the age of information! Fight back in ways our Republican friends won’t understand.

        I share your sentiment but I think they will attempt to out cunt each other on being vile, petty children. The will try to be as punitive as possible with policy and neglectful in their duties to facilitate the mechanisms of functional government. And, yes maybe not completely because they are probably not even competent enough to do that.

        I’m sorry my American friends but you’re in for some catastrophic shitfuckery.

      At least with Democrats they eat all faces equally regardless of race religion sexuality or gender identity.

      Also people generally are less surprised considering how they treat progressives within their own party.

    I’m not that old (I’m not that young either) but I can’t remember a time when a party controlled both the executive and legislative branches and didn’t descend into incompetent infighting.

    I thought this time would be different but this gives me hope.

      Yeah, the way they kept this coalition together was by telling the business community that their more extreme stuff on abortion and immigration was just stuff they told the rubes to get their votes. Now they’re in a position that both constituents expect them to deliver, and there’s a lot of conflict there. Draining the swamp is the opposite of creating an entirely new agency that’s all swamp, and while the business community pretends they want more border enforcement, a lot of immigration policies are explicitly designed to create an entire class of workers that’s perpetually in a precarious position so they can undermine unionisation efforts.

        He also said bullet-proof, full auto self-driving, artificial general intelligence, Hyperloop, novel tunneling techniques, $25K Tesla, real robot, cave-diving pedo guy.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Looks like @ConservativesOG just found out that the law does not protect them.

        The free speech Musk believes in is his ironclad right to speak. To him, contradiction is not speech, and he seems baffled whenever it happens, like he’s just been slapped with a fish.

          Musk isn’t confused at all. He’s been lying about believing in free speech this whole time. He’s an oligarch—literally the richest person in the world—who bought 𝕏itter in order to control speech.

            Just to be clear, I’m not trying to say that Musk is confused about what free speech is – I’m saying he’s confused when he hears ideas that conflict with his worldview. He cannot process the idea that contradiction of his beliefs should even be possible and that drives him wild with rage.

            I think it’s important to understand that Musk doesn’t think of most other human beings as “people” and he does not consider what they say as “speech”. His worldview is entirely solipsistic and the only speech that exists is the speech he produces and the reflections of it that come back to him. To Musk, everything else is the braying of animals with diseased minds.

                It’s not that specific. It fits a lot of Social Darwinists that were born into money. Most just have the good sense to keep their voices down in public.

                  The solipsism and all this kind of stuff is very specific to me. Just because it “fits” doesn’t mean it’s actually the case though. Do you personally know people like this, that also keep their voices down? Like, are there any examples to share?
