Fun fact, this is the first time we get someone really serious about fixing anything and the left completely ostracized and scared about the absurd amount of people that will go to jail and/or lose their bullshit DEI jobs funding transgender plays in another country.

Fun fact, this is the first time we get a literal Nazi who is actively working on dismantling any securities we had about a single person having unlimited power (= dictatorship).

But hey, at least we got rid of those oh so scary Trans and Gay people...

Who? Fix what? Trump and musk? They're fixing things the way the fire "fixed" the Palisades.

You're lost my friend, go back to yours in Asmongold youtube comment

Musk, a non-government official who gave a Nazis salute multiple times on video, is going through federal organizations and accessing data he shouldn't be and denying people access when they should have it.

That honestly doesn't scare you at all?

Brother name one way your life has improved by MAGA efforts.

You can’t because your life more or less sucks and you just get off on performative dunking.

This kind of comment admits really only 2 possibilities:

  1. This is the standard authoritarian tactic of flooding the zone with shit, spewing verbal diarrhea without regard to truth, but rather to disrupt discourse, to intimidate and disconcert, as Sartre famously said.

  2. The writer is actually dumb enough to believe it, against all available evidence.

I guess there's also:

  1. All of the above.

Oy, sometimes I wish I could be as deluded as this, biggest fears being DEI (ahem, brown/black) and trans people. AHHHHH, so scary for the alpha males.

Okay, but fascism apart, how can you explain USIAD wasting money on transgender plays and DEI initiatives… there’s something wrong here there for sure.

Fun fact, billions of dollars go through USAID for global health and humanitarian needs and idiots cry to dismantle it because of $70k on a theater play (which turned out wasn't a USAID project). When actual legal paths to contest specific spending do exist.

Do some serious research and go to Congress.gov and read bills that Republicans never brought to vote the last two years and then try to tell who's serious about fixing things.
