Yes, many people are impulsive and foolish, we shouldn't encourage that. Nor should we cheer on the attempt to create an all-powerful executive that can do whatever it wants with no checks from existing legislation, the courts, or Congress. Trump's goal seems to be an elective dictatorship, and we'll see how long the elective part lasts.
- justanotheratom 2y agowhy do you assume there are no checks?
- allturtles 2y agoThere are supposed to be, we'll see if they work. Right now, as the article says, the courts are issuing injunctions to stop these changes while the various lawsuits play out. I strongly suspect Trump and Musk will ignore them, and then we will be in a full on constitutional crisis.
- justanotheratom 2y agowhat in Elon Musk's track record makes you "strongly suspect" he is there to cause a constitutional crisis? Is it possible that instead he is working in good faith?
