We all knew shit was gonna hit the fan when Trump won his second term, but this, I don't think anyone saw this coming.
It is and you have to have the fertile land to get something to grow for sure.
The difference in this brave new era is Musk, Vance, Rubio etc are happy to turn up and say their bullshit to our faces, openly promote and fund it etc. There is no operating in the shadows anymore and they are using the levers of the US government to kneecap their former allies due to how over integrated we became.
Certainly it's better that we all realise where the US is now and where it's heading. Hopefully the rest of us can change course.
