It's taken me a while to figure out how Trump is conservative. Sending the autistically bold and ketamine addicted Musk to cut everything, and see what screams the most to be hired back, is a technique to see what is really important.
The judge has said all the firings were illegal. Of course the US government isn't a corporation you can just buy and then ruin the way he did Twitter or Tesla. The legislature allocates money. This current spending bill, and the traitorous voting for it of Schumer allows for things to be more of a slush fund, but previously those things were voted for, and paid for by the legislature.
The irony is the national parks make a lot of money, in business terms, they have incredible profit. To cut their budget is the height of folly, but they're just wrecking up the place, they aren't businessmen.
Trump has 6 bankruptcies. He paid $85 million to E. Jean Carroll because he couldn't stop talk shit about her, after he had to pay $5 million for talking shit about her. He is a felon, but grab him by the money, and he'll just keep talking and paying out like some amazing slot machine. He's not a good businessman.
What it does do is create doubt, and wrestles the security in the minds of people that the government is there to support citizens in our society. To try to enforce justice, and curb some of the downfalls of poverty and a million other things we're learning. The lessons learned by this destruction will depend on your political bias, and your epistemic character.
I've been thinking about the Thatcher revolution of privativing thing. Fire all the air traffic controllers and hire a subcontractor, one Musk happens to own. Reagan fired the air traffic controllers. They get too bold it seems. It's a quite stressful job. The whole operation is basic pillaging and graft. Musk bought Trump and now he gets to deliver his paybacks. Musk is the biggest welfare queen in the world and he's trying to get more, because there's never enough.
I've searched for a historical figure who might lend articulation to fascism times. I thought maybe Rafael Alberti might be able to articulate it, he had to leave Spain, and then later Argentina because of fascism. I struggle to find it articulate in his wonderful poetry, but I need to read some more. Mayakovsky was an articulate voice during the Russian revolution, that I want to learn more about. I wonder who will emerge as the articulate voice in America for this time. Paul Beatty has an amazing voice, but it doesn't actually capture this moment yet, he's better at lambasting the role of African Americans in America over the past years. Kendrick Lamar had a shot at breaking through, but most people didn't understand him. Jasmine Crockett can speak truth to power but she's a black woman, and we already voted Harris down.
There's a upending revolution attempt going on in America. Wall Street has turned against Trump and Musk, and Musk's fortune is being ruined by his insistence that Hitler didn't actually kill all those people, he's doubling down on his sieg heil gesture with more Nazism. The Polish-American woman in the park who said ignore the sieg heil part, I just can't sorry. That's sort of the Polish attitude depicted in Ida (2013) but time has a way of reflecting back on past occurrences, that mean you can't just ignore the sieg heils.
Even if you don't like some of the situations, the direction and essence, who doesn't want smaller government and less taxes? Trump and Musk are jerks enough to try and push it as far as it will go, no matter how many people die. It takes a rapist narcissist and an autistic narcissist to do this sort of thing to America. Musk's repudiation of empathy is the opposite mirror of his autistic twin Greta Thunberg, who insists on empathy and the not ignoring what is going on, in its fullness.
What is cover for what grift? The shifting sands of the gish gallop, the rope a dope, is cover for the government for sale, which goes counter the constitution and the founders intentions. The bringing it into the daylight and saying it's not bad, is quite amazing. The level of outrage they produce in reasonable aware people, outrage turns out not to change much, it's just private suffering in the end.
There's a building storm coming. The guillotine memes are prevalent. Luigi Mangione started it, who's going to keep it going? The way John Brown stood up to slavery, and the millions of people who died in the Civil War. I saw a movie about a Civil War in America last year, and it felt really far fetched, but also horrifying. That scene with Jesse Plemons and his red sunglasses.
Trump doesn't care because public opinion doesn't matter to him any more. There's no more elections. He's won his last election. He can go on his private yet government funded revenge tour, and be whatever kind of monster he wants to be.
It's up to the courts and legislature and the press to contain him, and he's not one to be contained by a no, he grabs the pussy, even if they're married. It turns out the press has shown it's true colors, and the legislature and supreme court are right wing, so the checks are really only small little rebukes so far, or not at all.
I've always seen Trump as the emperor with no clothes, he struts about thinking he's looking good when he really doesn't, he's naked and obese, revolting. There are varying degrees of approval. Wall Street has turned. That's always going to be a percentage thing, rarely is life black and white. Not sure who's voice Trump will actually listen to be a reasonable check. They want destruction and strife, and people begging to work 120 hours a week.
America has traditionally aligned along the attempts by government to fix things verses don't fix anything axis. The right has been good at cultivating resentment for taxes even among the poor, who benefit from taxation. The betrayal of the working class towards itself is a modern feat of pretzel logic. All the programs that cushion the blows of capitalism and try to right the wrongs of gross systematic inequality, not the natural inequality, and not the natural rising and lowering, which is lost in all this going on now. Doesn't seem natural to me. It's natural to curb some of the unnatural excesses of unchecked capitalism.
So many horrible things for sensitive left wing folk to see. Fire the black and woman generals in the military so it's all white men. That's not repudiating DEI with a natural meritocracy, that's white supremacy, reinstating the glass ceiling.
What little gains that have been brought to over qualified minorities are stripped again, and the fragile flowers of justice have been smashed under foot by the inchoate rage of white supremacy.
Right wing people who are tired of always being called racists, to the point of it being meaningless, hopefully can turn their awareness back on and see it now, right?
I have a hope that the Bernie Sanders of the world will rise up. He's drawing huge crowds, but more than likely there's a glass ceiling to American leftism. Bernie is too old, and Jewish, and AOC is too woman and ethnic to go very far.
People are calling for Tim Wahl and Mark Kelly. Decent white men centrists. The groundbreaking women and minority politicians are going to be right wing and centrist, not left wing. The farthest left we're going to go in this racist and misogynistic country will be with a white man. There's a real undertow towards left ideas, America would like to just get away from this far left.
Reagan was pretty far right, but Trump beats him with this term, with this budgetary violence.
Gavin Newsom ruined things by entertaining Steve Bannon. When Harris entertained Cheney, many were upset, but I think playing in the center is an important things for democrats. If Trump has taught us anything, is you have to give people a shred to believe in, if they want to go that way, even if you want to ultimately dupe them.
The woman who he promised free IVF treatments feels betrayed. I'm not into the shaddenfreud of all his voters being fired and deported, too much death and murder for me to find any solace.
The murder by "cost cutting" is highlighted by Luigi Mangione's bullets saying deny, defend, depose, and the murder by Musk and Trump and his enablers, including Schumer who's going to be hearing it on his ill planned book tour. I'm sure he's going to avoid the public and take a loss. The coward won't appear in public now even to shill his book, after his profit ruining vote. Musk's fortunes can collapse, and he's still got enough money even with all the leins on his property by baby's mommas for child support. Bill Burr pointed out if Musk came to his neighborhood in Boston, he wouldn't be so bold.
When I told a friend I was thinking of taking a spray can to the Teslas in my neighborhood owned by Jewish people, and writing "sieg heil" on them, he said make sure you wear a mask.
I can't even spit on them, I can only spit towards them. I respect property and propriety too much, but it's definitely been eroded lately.
