Yeah, that's probably it: they're zealots. Musk is a zealot in the Church of Yarvin. The rest are your ordinary Christian or Jewish zealots. Faith-based decision making is a hell of a drug.

Trump is checked out. They let him scribble with his sharpie and appear before cameras, but they don't brief him on stuff or include him in important meetings, and he doesn't care. He isn't interested in that stuff. The White

One elaboration on your point: the rural and urban populations aren't mirrors of each other. The urban population generally ignores the rural population. The rural population pays attention to (a select subset of) what is happening in

Paul Dirac looks and sounds a lot like my father's father, though he delivers his words faster and with more emotion. I almost never heard my grandfather speak.

I understand being pissed at the US right now, but this is just false: > Now both US political parties celebrate the destruction of all of Gaza's hospitals, the further invasions of Syria, Lebanon, Yemen etc. The killing and starvat

French oligarchs will flee to the Galt's Gulch the neo-monarchists are building here in the US. Then, when the US electorate wrenches control back, they'll all get the same treatment here. Eventually they'll end up in Dubai.

I have no idea what you mean. The executive branch didn't routinely ignore court orders and disregard the constraints set out in the Constitution before that date. The government broke laws, but it was a scandal when it did and people

It's over. The Republicans larded up the CR with poison pills and dared the Democrats to block it. Chuck Shumer, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, didn't have the stomach to do so, fearing the populace would be convinced

I used to root for Tesla. I thought their success would lead us away from petroleum. Now that their CEO put hundreds of millions into the "drill baby drill" party and has set about destroying NOAA (and higher education, freedom of

I truly can't fathom wanting to keep Musk at the helm of Tesla. It seems at this point the lowest hanging fruit for repairing Tesla's prospects would be to replace him with someone who doesn't cultivate the loathing of potent

I find it funny how we're making the point that his election doesn't say that much about the aggregate opinion of Americans and you keep missing it. Yes, he won the popular vote. No, it doesn't mean America is massively behin

Yes, Europe has given more aid overall. And certainly much more per capita in many countries. The US has given more military aid, but not that much more.

People commenting here keep speaking as though Americans all decided to do this. Trump didn't even win the majority of votes of those who voted. And those who voted for him had only the most nebulous idea of what doing this would mean.

You want a source from a person who just created a throwaway accounts named "peepeepoopoo"? I guess it's worth a try.

Yep. If Putin managed to install a Trojan Horse president bent on attacking the country internally on all fronts, that president would do what Trump is doing. What's flabbergasting is how the Republican Party is enabling this. I though

If it's a blowout for the Dems, there might be GOP defections in an impeachment trial. The surviving Republicans who had to stand for election would be the ones from states most loyal to Trump, but there would be plenty who hadn&#x27

Given a long enough timeline you can count on anyone to do the right thing. It's the balance of right to wrong which is more interesting. By this measure I don't think Americans are particularly exceptional. Also, whether people c

If all but the most bubbled media have been brought to heel by billionaire owners or threats and the ordinary voters, the ones who sat out the last election or thought it was about the price of eggs, are exposed only to authoritarian-friend
