Someone kill this guy please. Make sure it’s during a live TV session so there is enough footage to enjoy and celebrate to. Make use of that 2nd amendment.
This is the thing that constantly amazes me about Trump et al.
They are idiots. If Trump had just sat back and let the GOP operatives like his first Cheif of Staff Reince Priebus run things he'd have sailed into a second term. Instead he try to run things himself when he had no idea what he was doing.
If Musk had run this DOGE nonsense past a team of lawyers he could have done everything without raising an eyebrow.
They both need to be seen as geniuses, when real geniuses are content to let the work speak for itself.
They aren’t stupid. Stupid people cannot take over an entire government of a country with 350+ million people.
They are just narcissists and think the world revolves around them. And in the USA, apparently it does. That’s why they can just freely do whatever they want.
Where are the protests? And no, 10 people standing next to a Tesla dealership with cardboard signs are not a protest. They’re a joke.
It's still in its reactionary and infantile stage, but it's past cardboard signs and into small scale attacks at easy targets.
Which ain't much, tbh. But you try getting people that are itching to do something now to do something more controlled and useful that takes planning an coordination.
It's even in the news. There's posts about it on lemmy, and other fediverse communications. But it isn't being shown as much on normal news outlets in the US, except when it's big enough to make local news until ego makes someone like musk take to social media outlets and make it known that way.
Right now, everything is low key, vandalism level action, but it is actual people, on the ground taking action that isn't waving signs.
