If you were still under the impression that conservatives were patriots that gave a flying fuck about the Constitution, now you have your definitive answer.

Bro is already executing, he is beyond staging. Goes to show that knowledge isn't power in capitalism; you can be as retarded as they come and still fry shit on a national level; as long as you have the capital funds for it.

Funny to think pedo-don spent 8 years pretending Obama couldn't be prez because he was born in Africa, just the give the control of the country to an unlected incompetent bro who was actually born in Africa.

Staging? He is already inside.

When does the USA invade?

Musk is who we deserve. The country that treats money as speech and corporations as people and bribery as political action has the worlds richest man controlling it. Finally, the world is making some fucking sense.

2A thumpers defend school shootings as required to defend against tyrants. Tyrants literally in our buildings and giving nazi salutes? Nothing.

Americans currently rereading the 2nd amendment: "Damn, if we could only use them outside of schools, things would be fixed quickly"

It's weird that Jefferson literally demanded helpless children be shot in schools like that but hey that's what the Constitution says so I guess we gotta let em do it.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE TOOK A KNEE AT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM??!!???

if you think trump is bad, just wait to be ruled directly by those fuckers instead of via proxy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Who's to say we're not already. Just look at how much golfing Trump has already been up to! I bet he ends up spending more time in Florida than in DC.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

His mind is also mush. He's signing whatever he gets handed to and rambles some incoherent soundbites he got told beforehand when in front of the cameras.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

yeah, but that still has the limitation of having to at least pretend. I dread to think what will happen when they stop caring about that and just directly take control.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

it's only a coup if it comes from the Coup d'Etat region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling government takeover.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Which is why the US has never actually staged a coup in a foreign country. Not many people know that

[–] [email protected] 25 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, hey. Elon Musk purchased the US fair and square, we've known that for like 3 months now, no need to go acting all surprised!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

The Incorporated States of America?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Staging? It already happened

[–] [email protected] 18 points 13 hours ago

Exactly. He has every American's personal details and total control of the nation's finances. He really doesn't need anything else.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago

they won the election. now they are dismantling the levers of government. the goal is to weaken all other national institutions until eventually they can just ignore Congress or Supreme Court

[–] [email protected] 67 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Nah, everybody relax. Go to work, come home to your 2.3 kids. Everything is normal. President Musk is doing everything he can to take care of the immigrant and LGBTQ problem, the only problems the USA has. Men could be playing womens sports, guys. I mean it. Massive fucking problem.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

If I ever come home to 2.3 kids I'm gonna be so mad. Where is the 0.7 kids I'm missing?!

Unelected weirdo walks into government facilities and does what he wants.

[–] labbbb2 10 points 13 hours ago

They want to turn the US into kleptocratic empire ruled by organised crime, like Russia or Angolan former dictator Jose dos Santos with his Russian family
