yeah thats a good point. trump was certainly not responsible last time around (and i highly doubt he will be responsible this time). although in the case of trump, it’s him not doing the things he’s supposed to. whereas in elons case, nobody is asking him to sign stuff or do anything. and i think that’s an important distinction. he gets all the power with none of the responsibility.
I agree with the sentiment I've seen posted here several times that two egos that big, in close proximity, for a long time, will eventually explode. I hope so anyway. Unless you're down to do a green Mario or start working on mutual aid, there's not much to do but grab the popcorn and wait for that very public breakup.
Oh and if you have the means, and are not suicidal, arm yourself before January 20th. Take a safety class and practice. Secure your weapons if there's any chance of a child getting to them. We don't know what's coming.
i also agree with that sentiment. and i think that people are starting to talk a lot more about how much power and influence musk has. it’s only a matter of time until trump sees it (if he hasn’t already), and from that point it’s only a matter of time until it gets under his skin and he lashes out. (at least that’s what i think will happen.)
i sometimes forget that trump isn’t the president yet, given how it seems like the media has entirely neglected biden for the past month and a half, and how there have been constant stories about trump every day since the election. i am not looking forward for what’s to come.
i appreciate the advice (genuinely), but i don’t think that owning a gun would be the best choice for me due to mental health stuff. although it is a good reminder to start preparing for what’s to come after january 20th. i am not looking forward to it.
That's why they call this the lame duck period of a presidency. Biden still technically has the power but nobody cares.
