"Ain't my kid. 'Murica."

"EXTERMINATE!"

He thought Trump was going to win the 2000 election. That Trump would follow his order, and not aid Ukraine in any way. He was so sure he openly assembled his invasion force before the election.

The thing is, Trump is dumber that Musk, but he's older, wiser (which is not intelligence, just knowledge gained from experience,) and Trump knows, and has accepted that the "peasants" don't like him, and he's never liked them. He's learned how to con, and grift, and brainwash them over the decades.

But Musk... he's genuinely blindsided, and hurt that the peasants don't see him as Saviour Tony Stark. He's been insulated in his entitled, spoiled, Whiter than White Princely bubble his entire life, and is genuinely destroyed when told no, or mocked. When he was booed off stage at the Chapelle concert, his employees were genuinely concerned he was going to off himself. The narcissistic wound of rejection hurt him that bad. And it's happening again.

See, this is what saddens, and enrages me. Ivermectin does not work.

They should be using WD-40 and duct tape. Any fool knows that!

The Boomers became Republicans when the GOP pretended to be sane, namely Eisenhower. That's what their parents did, and that's what they do. They also grew up in an area that produced males with John Wayne Syndrome: real men never admit fault, never apologize, fight at the drop of a hat like overgrown 15 year old boys, and never show any emotion except for anger and contempt. Empathy is for pinko commies, and women.

The thing is they've been brainwashed by Fox, Right Wing AM radio, Right Wing news rags. Who know exactly how to pander to, and enrage these people. It's intentional. It's why those propaganda organs exist: to enrage old white people.

It's not an excuse, but that's what's happened.

The only way to get through to these people is to fuck with their money, and their embarrassing gay, or interfacial lovin' kids. And even then they'll find a way to blame it on "The Libruls."

This.

You have a party of Neoliberal Reagan Republicans (mostly,) and... literal Nazis.

Ain't it great?

Narcissists will never admit they're wrong, or apologize.

"My team no matter what!"

Well, it won't hurt The Aristos, just their maids, butlers, landscapers, chefs, drivers, cult members...

They are if they think it hurts Those People more.

Try decades.

Trump doesn't think anything. The Heritage Foundation has one of their minions tell him what to think and say, and he does it. But like the colossal narcissist he is, they make him think it's his idea, then he says it is. 100% predictable.

The man is in late stages of dementia, and it would be pitiable if he hadn't been such a spoiled, entitled, narcissistic, psychopathic asshole his entire life. He is a tool to them, but one that is uncontrollable and unpredictable. That is, to anyone but Putin, who has the kompromat on Trump.

This is an intentional strategy to bankrupt most of the poors, so they'll have to sell their property to The Nobility.
