Jason Calacanis is one of the absolute dumbest fucking people on the planet, proof that wealth is worthless as an indicator of intelligence or merit, and I would fucking subscribe to X for a year if it meant I could fight that little dipshit.
I'm all for prosecuting and locking up all the Republican small-business owners who defrauded the government out of billions of dollars of pandemic relief funds. Something tells me you're not. Maybe it's your support for Elon and his little band of nazis firing all of the people who could actually do that.
Obviously the solution is to fire everyone in the understaffed department responsible for catching and prosecuting fraud and put the largest fraudster in American history in charge of the American government.
Dems really need to consistently message this to the public. “They hate you and want you to suffer for not worshipping them.” We need to make them The Enemy.
1. Nobody should give a shit about MSNBC.
2. C'mon, it's obviously a Trumpian purge, which is hilariously stupid for the same reason CNN always trying to steer further to the right is always hilariously stupid. Their only possible audience is on the left and fucking hates Trump. They know how this dynamic works, they saw it from 2017-2020. They're voluntarily tanking their business to keep Trump happy.
It doesn't help that like 75% of the conservative voices are actually just 2 different trolls who keep making new accounts and rightfully getting negged for troll bullshit.
These "it's very unlikely the winner would've won all the swing states" arguments are always extremely dumb. It's actually very common for the winner to sweep swing states.
Sure, Dems can keep telling themselves this is what they're doing. And they'll keep losing.
This shit is professional wrestling and any officials at this point who don't get that need to be replaced.
The shift in labor power that covid caused basically broke the brain of every billionaire businessman. Their sole focus the last few years has been putting labor back in its place, and in their minds that requires immiserating basically every American with a net worth under like $50 million. The ability to buy up assets on the cheap and further consolidate their power is part and parcel to that. Elon is out front taking all the slings and arrows on this, but they're all aligned on the goal.
This is why, if we want a functioning American democracy, when we get through this we have to eliminate billionaires via massively confiscatory taxation (and criminal prosecution for any of them that can conceivably be charged with crimes).
