Elon Goes Rogue as Courts PUSH BACK

[ReasonableMatic]

One of my neighbors voted for Trump. He's a black dude whose always voted for Democrats. He got caught up in all the right-wing propaganda on social media in the past four years. I warned him repeatedly that voting for him isn't a good idea. I haven't seen or heard from him since Trump's been in office. Also all the people in my area took down their Trump flags besides a few people in the more rural parts.

Thing is I don’t even think a lot of people realize what’s going on and the road we are on. Those same people that fell for the right wing propaganda and voted for this are still falling for it now they’re just doing it quietly. Even when you show them what’s happening they don’t believe it or act like they don’t know what you’re talking about.

When Trump started that fake news seed of doubt campaign back in 2015 it’s become hard to fight disinformation. I stated in another thread that 90% of cacs I meet are conspiracy theorists but ONLY when it comes to democrats, government, science, medicine, and news. Anything Republican/MAGA is the truth in their eyes. Not sure how you right this ship at this point.

What I love about that moment between them.
Is that Masaria dropped a gem on Rhaenyra to focus on a power most ignore and don’t understand deeply, the power of politics. <<<

See, most ppl focus on the dragons,
the swordsmen and whatnot, because it’s a physical violence.
It’s easy to recognize a threat when someone is physically strong.

So characters like Mysaria, Larys and Varys get overlooked because they don’t fight physically.

But the real powerplays and most of the serious violence that occurs,
are manifestations of non-physical events.

To the discontented, rumors are feed.. <<<

- Mysaria

When one is never invited to speak, one learns instead to observe..

- Larys

The truth does not matter, only perception.. <<<

- King Viserys

Power, is where men BELIEVE if lies..

- Varys

Chaos, is a ladder.. <<<

- Littlefinger
Them bars right there?!

Are the deepest quotables about the real overarching game at play, the game of politics.

Like others in this thread have pointed out.

We should ALL be freaking out.

THIS IS NOT HYPERBOLE!!!!!!!

If they defy the court orders THEN THEY WILL DEFY ANYTHING!!!

We are dealing with a Coup at this point and we are acting like its not the crumbling of the constitution.

If the state judges cant make him do anything what makes ANYONE think he will just leave office after 4 years?

Wake up folks...its gonna get ugly soon

I asked A.I. about the situation we're presently in and here's what it said about the last remaining check and balances.

1. Career civil servants and agency officials who may resist unlawful orders through:

• Refusing to implement unconstitutional directives
• Resigning in protest
• Whistleblowing
• Following court orders despite contrary executive instructions

1. State governments can:

• File lawsuits
• Refuse to cooperate with federal overreach
• Protect their citizens' rights under state constitutions
• Deploy state law enforcement if federal agents act unlawfully

1. The military leadership, who swear an oath to the Constitution rather than any individual, may:

• Refuse unlawful orders
• Continue following existing court-approved protocols
• Maintain their traditional separation from domestic politics

Great post...


I think most of us don't realize that this is essentially how most civil wars around the world start?????

Like its how countries split into 2 or more countries.


Lines start to get drawn in the sand from either states or organizations.....

Dawg, most Americans aren’t going to get it until they fly the Nazi flag outside the White House.

This shyt is SERIOUS.

We are inching closer and closer to the point of the military being the real line of defense.


Democrats need to have their own version of Trump who is willing to find loopholes, make connections and start something. I don’t know if I see that happening just yet.

America is lost in a terminal collective delusion that's rapidly taking us off a cliff. The same type of delusion and collective madness that swept Germany in the 1930's is now present here in America. I'm convinced a good amount of MAGA can be convinced to justify ANYTHING this adminstration does, no matter how dark it is.

I'm not sure how we break this cycle either, other than mass suffering or some catastrophic event. The media landscape is also very troubling. We went from Trump convincing most of his supporters that factual news was fake almost a decade ago to our present, where most of mainstream media is now sane washing him and all this chaos. Everything has changed so dramatically since 2015. And Elon's takeover of Twitter, the rise of right-wing influencers like Tom Pool, Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Candace Owens, etc has only muddied the social media ecosystem in this country. Most Americans aren't even getting an accurate reading of what's going on. And unless you're already politically savvy and informed like us there is no media outlet giving them the context they need to understand the consequences of Trump's actions. Most Americans don't watch MSNBC. And they damn sure aren't watching left wing alternative media outlets. They're inundated with right wing narratives constantly. This is why Trump's approval rating is actually going up. Its pure madness.

Its hard to say where this all leads but a lot of people are going to be hurt as a result of this. This type of collective delusion America is trapped in isn't sustainable and will at some point come to a head.

My eight grade history teacher had a sign on his desk that said “History Repeats Itself.” He basically said that society is too selfish and arrogant to learn anything from history, and the same sagas just repeat themselves but are packaged differently. I remember learning about the atrocities of Nazi Germany in school, and folks were like “How were people just ok with that happening right under their noses? Thank God nothing like that can happen here.” Authoritarianism has happened throughout history and all over the world. Why would we be different? American exceptionalism and it’s hubris I tell ya

American exceptionalism is having a hand in our downfall...

Ironic, but also not surprising

I hate to say this but I think this is bigger than Elon and even the Tech Bros.

There are a lot of powerful and amoral people in the national security apparatus and the non-tech wealthy elite in this country. If what was happening was so far from the pale for them and endangered their core interests....let's just say Elon is the wealthiest on paper but there is serious old money in this country Forbes doesn't count. Dude ain't Ironman in real life.

Don't forget, Elon and Peter Thiel/Alex Karp (Palantir) have LONG gotten the majority of their revenue from the US government including defense contracts. These dudes are a known quantity. They may be giving voice to a faction of the elites that are dirt dirt. The military industrial complex is what birthed and funded Silicon Valley.

Then again, maybe the reason he shadows Trump is Secret Service protection.

They are only trolling the government. To get life long term security details. Sohh they can do business with putin and hopefully not get sonned. When both two stoopid to realize. They are over their head and following racism slash nepotism based agenda. They were born into. Plus now need because of their pos parental bases sending them off their whole lives to where we are now.
It is basically two soft ass golden spoons. Thinking they can paper gangsta their way to negotiate fsce to face with putin. When both know putin would shell their goofass and take their assets. Yet they still trying to prove this golden spoon inferiority complex to putin. When regardless of their security detail. Putin would body them.
The two gold spoons some pussies. That putin would easily fukk over. That these two trying to get secret service detail to try to bully putin and other leaders. Just like when trump pushed that foreign leader. Yet they are gonna get a huge awakening. Once they leave office. That regardless of the security detail. You still have to treat people well for them to secure your safety.
These two golden spoons so goofie. Said security detail will be looking for a security breach out. To have both perish. Where no one will give a fukk. Besides these two's racist boer klu klux klan parents.
