Trump won in big part because he said he was going to bring Elon in to fix the government.

Just because you don't like Trump and Elon doesn't mean that democracy isn't working as intended.

Yes the people who were suing SpaceX for not hiring enough immigrants while SpaceX was also required to hire US citizens should be fired. This is what we voted for. If you don't like it you should support a candidate that doesn't focus on identity politics and win the next election, then that candidate can focus on lawsuits and regulations against the greatest innovator alive.

Trump won because he has lied and manipulated a population of idiots. They have managed to create a situation where they can say whatever they want and still get support.

That much is clear to everyone outside of the US. And we don't want any more of your culture over here thank you very much.

No one is debating whether or not increasing efficiency or reducing government is a good or bad thing. It is the way it's being done we take issue with. It's as close to 1930's Germany as you can imagine.

    • You are conflating anti-Israel / anti-Netanyahu and antisemitism. One of the many lies the right is using these days.

      I can think Netanyahu is a dangerous person who shouldn't be in power and is causing Israel to be a not great actor on the world stage, and not a damn bit of that has anything to do with Netanyahu's race.

    • Not sure what being Jewish has to do with anything. Hasn't the president been talking about ethnic cleansing the Palestinians from Gaza? Just because he is attacking different groups than the Nazis did doesn't mean it is somehow better.

Trump won in big part because the Democratic Party a) pretended that all was well with Joe Biden, b) swapped in Kamala Harris when plan a) didn't work. Someday perhaps the Democratic Party will understand that the job of a serious political party is not to inspire (Hillary! Kamala!) but to govern.

Forgot to ask--who is this greatest innovator alive?
