What unites Elon Musk and his billionaire friends, white nationalists, conservative think tanks, & eugenicists is a racist worldview & goal of replacing our democracy with their authoritarian utopia.
Thanks for connecting the dots to make the big picture clearer. Your health care proves America's form of democracy has abandoned the masses in favour of capitalism for too long. Bernie Sanders has lost the long game and the broligarchs have won in the US. Unfortunately Jeffery Sachs and Jeremy Corbyn are losing too, so Trump will let broligarchs smash the UN and the global south to harvest any spoils. Well done US and Netanyahu in Libya, Sudan and Gaza. Iran next.
Fascinating interview. If you can stick with this article, it's quite revelatory, especially about Musk's grandfather and his ideologies. Scary stuff! 🙀
The billionaires will always feed on the middle and the poor. Educating our constituents is the only thing that will overtake their lies. Legislation is needed to get the dark money out of politics. Will Republicans vote for that? Not on your life. They know they are a minority, and the majority is easily exploited with lies and misinformation for our gullible undereducated and uninformed. It is criminal activity, false pretenses, if you ask me. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/the-playbook-is-known?r=3m1bs
Great eposide! I listened to a professor named Andrew Wilson on a European podcast, Mark Leonard's World in 30 Minutes in May where he described all of this anti-democracy propaganda as political technology. It was a very informative conversation that helped me have perspective when the election turned out like it did. The wealthy tech bros are steady trying to set-up their position in the oligarchy under this upcoming administration. More Americans need to understand this scheme against us.
I like Gina Raimondo ( our present secretary of commerce) for our next Democratic candidate for president. Hillary had been unfairly besmirched by Republicans and the press who were too anxious to both sides the political story and were glad to pick up on the White Water story (which was not the huge problem the Republicans pretended it was).
Harris was hampered by her attachment to the present administration. She was not free to talk about what she would do differently because she would have put our country and the Biden administration in a bad spot. She was also hampered by the 2008 recession and the decision to give money to the bankers instead of the homeowners who were just starting to build up equity in their homes and lost them. Their kids were probably old enough to vote in 2024. When the COVID epidemic hit, economists realized that this time the relief needed to go to ordinary citizens instead of the bankers. Economists realized by 2020 that we would have emerged much quicker from the 2008 recession if the relief money had gone to the home owners instead of the bankers who may have caused the 2008 recession. This would have hit the Blue Wall quite hard and have left a lot of people with the feeling that they couldn’t trust the government to help them.
We had heard from Ronald Reagan that government was part of the problem and not the solution. It was easy for Republicans to blame the growing deficit on the COVID relief checks than to Trump’s tax cut for the wealthier people in America. His tax cut was very small for most citizens, but Trump was able to convince us that he had done us all a big favor.
It seems the billionaires and their business’s want all the privileges of the common person but none of the responsibilities and those have been granted. If a billionaire or their associated business are charged with practices or ancillary activities which result in harm or even death as a result they are fined and set free. Insurances do this ALL the time. Deny culpability and maybe pay a fine but still walk free. Luigi should be offered the same treatment. Pay a fine.. in money, not his life, as corporations do and let him walk.
The oligarchs are following, though they think they are leading, Herr Trump. These are the same type of obesely wealthy self centered individuals who thought they would use Hitler, Instead they found that they themselves would.in the end, become the prey of of the dictator if they wavered in their support of the Reich. Trump has never, for long, lead a profitable concern. Trump has no tolerance of criticism. He will turn on anyone once they are of no use to him.
Scary. I find it interesting that Trump talks about "poisoning the blood of the country" yet is father to four first-generation American babies by two immigrant wives. And that Musk is South African and is said to have overstayed his student visa here and so actually is an illegal immigrant.
But they're better than other immigrants because they're white.
Remember when the US was taking in Ukrainian refugees and some reporters quoted Americans as saying, "They're white! I didn't know they were white."
Sadly, white supremacists will always be with us, whether they're billionaires or poor as dirt.
Educated people run both ways, but I think all we can do is make sure everyone possible learns critical thinking skills and perhaps, perhaps, most of them will figure out that people who don't look like themselves are fellow human beings, worthy of respect and compassion.
None of this is new..It has been told & written about for the last couple of years if not longer..Even I wrote about it but no one actually care to take note or even listen..There have been so many bright red wave in ur face flags it's shocking to see soo many actually voted for the guy- a guy who slandered with horrific & disgusting lies about certain groups & will deport them - u see trumps guards will pick u up & it will be on u to prove ur a citizen while ur sitting in detention..but hey who am I-my vote lost!..The only way I can look at this nightmare is to accept the reality that Americans needed a lesson & boy r we going to get a big one!..
No one cared or even listened that Mike Johnson was a very active member to a aggressive Alliance group that has many small groups all over & their sole purpose is the take down of democracy-oh yes he's very much a Christian..Not ur Lutheran..Baptist..Catholic etc etc..oh no they have their own Christianity beliefs & they r going to force u to follow their style - enter - Christian Nationalism...Bible reading in public class rooms..their way..but yet they let children starve..separate children from parents as punished for being here illegally even if they have gone thru the legal process up to getting a court date..So I say keep dancing ur happy dance & continue thinking ur a winner because this just doesn't affect those who look different then u..whose life style is different then urs..beliefs or none beliefs..lolol oh no sir it will include u & u will be affected & I hope u still think u can be outspoken & demanding of ur rights & beliefs because that's when u will fund out u have no rights ..that u can not speak out against the government..yep its going to hit u good & hard..oh get ready to take in ur elderly family members with their medicare/medical & social security is taken from them oh u remember how u so hated socialized medicine & that u should just plan better..lol..wait until the economy u thought was so bad gets really bad & ur union jobs r gone because dictating governments do not believe in any of it..One guy & one guy only rules & it isn't u..a Constitution or Ammendments etc etc..And I see some people reacted offensively when the video came out with trump call us "HIS PEOPLE"..But u voted for him & u sold all r freedoms including urs for a better economy & cheaper gas - yep u handed the power right over to him..Did u not realize that economy's & gas go up & down thru out history?..Well one if my moms famous sayings in her elder years.."I'm glad I'm old" when life was ridiculously out of whack! Little did she know it would get this out of whack! GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK TO ALL!..I'M COUNTING ON THE TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT TO FIGHT LIKE HELL TO SAVE & RESTORE..THEY KNOW WHO THEY R - THEY VOTED FOR TRUTH - THE DREAM THAT R FOUNDING FATHERS GAVE TO US TO GIVERON BY..LETS DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME - LETS MAJE THEIR DREAM REAL FOR EVERYONE♡🇺🇲
Excellent! Let's get more of this out there! Please.
This degradation of democracy is partly the result of growing income/wealth inequality over the past 50 years.

So important for people to understand this
This was so helpful and horrifying at the same time. Thank you! And I WILL NOT SUBMIT! Stay strong, Wajahat Ali. We need you!!
