All 3 pillars of MAGA are pointing the finger at each other and it’s hilarious
anyone have three arrows they could spare?
Hell, for these three does anyone have a broken arrow they can spare?
remind me: it’s the Fascist, Corporatist and what’s the third one?
It’s the MAGA-fascists, the technofascists, and the Christofascists, as far as I can tell
It’s plutofascists who wish they were technofascists
No no, we recategorized that as merely a dwarf fascist years ago.
I like that, I can get on board with that
Edit: I really like this. In fact, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m stealing it. Plutofascists masquerading as technofascists.
monarchist (trump-loyals who don’t actually give a fuck about immigrants or anything, they just want a godking)
all together:
fascists - authentic nazis like bannon corporatists - in it for the money like musk monarchists - want sole rule by a strongman, hate democracy
Corporatism is fascism.
Note the “third way” reference. What candidate from what party used that term when running for US president?
alright here’s my problem with that - there’s genociders who would gladly burn every business to the ground for the sake of a white authoritarian Gilead and who seemingly have no motivation beyond the oppression of minorities. what are those called?
Fascists.
Okay, then what do we call the billionaires who want to be as objectively wealthy as possible and are therefore upset when they lose the undocumented workers that make their factories / farms / meat processing facilities profitable?
Fascists.
That there are various types doesn’t change the umbrella term.
Techbros, thieves and the loonies I think
Incompetence if where talking about the Adam something video
I was thinking more along the “traditional” conservatives, anti-regulation tech CEOs, and Trump himself. It was always an unsustainable balance but I did not expect it to unravel 6 days after Elon left the WH
I would pick the Heritage Fund religious extremist types for one leg.
Still fascism
Traditional is long dead. Now it’s the burn the government down nuts, use government for Christian nationalism religiofacists, and the grift everything in sight Trump.

Would this technically be an American Standoff since Trump hates Mexico?
We’re renaming mexican standoffs 😂
No, but wait for the presidential proclamation trying to rename it.
There’s an Archer reference in this somewhere…
LMAO. This keeps getting better.
Steve who?
These guys do give info on strategy, they’re not exactly secret about it. Bannon used the term “muzzle velocity” to describe the inundation of the press with so many terrible things, We The People would not know where to start or how to organize. They’d instead be scattered without a single issue to galvanize large numbers. Promoting numbness instead of protest. “Muzzle velocity”.
You don’t listen to Bannon, or any of the rest, because you believe them. You listen because it tells you about the admin and their intentions.
And the Jerry Springer vibes.
The guy that just slid into the ring with the steel chair
You might know him better as the Sentient Pile of Gin-Soaked Rags.
Oh that guy 💡
He’s absolutely going to try before this is all said and done. This is like two toddlers having a throwdown at daycare.
Like when Ted Cruz said that Trump “lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth”.
Ted Cruz actually nailed down Trump’s character better than any other politician.
Tbf that’s the joke about how to know when a politician is lying.
The glass is half full
I have to admit, I haven’t smiled this much in months. It’s been a wonderful day.
That’s awesome, I hadn’t seen that yet. And so apropos!
The glass is half empty
Whether that’s good or bad depends on what’s in the glass.
I recently heard a lecturer say that one may not rightfully know the cup they drink is poison, but that isn’t going to save them.
Uh oh, the Epstein shit is scaring people. I wonder who else is on those lists?
Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Invested $40 Million in a Company Co-Founded by Peter Thiel
Oh, how I would love to see Peter Thiel sent to prison.
🤞 Please send him to CECOT 🤞
Look, fuck them both but cecot should be dismantled.
But Elon Musk is an ILLEGAL Immigrant. WHY would they Deport someone like THAT?
He’s been an American citizen for 23 years. Why the fuck does everyone suddenly think deportation is the answer to every crime. Just prosecute him.
Imagine spending $250m dollars to get deported. It would be awesome if he was sent back to South Africa.
Elon is a brilliant businessman. When he was only 12, he started his first business as a bridge troll. Now at…whatever he is, he’s being kicked out of a country he literally bought.
TBF, proportionally speaking, it’s like me spending $20. I would not expect this amount to make a difference if it were me.
250M is nothing to this prick.
It is very expensive for their pride.
Those billionaires don’t actually have the money ready in cash, just a tiny part of that is liquid, everything is in stocks. They are getting paid in stocks from their company. Why? Because until you’re selling the stocks, for the government you don’t have a revenue to tax. Suppose this year you get a salary of $100 billion in stocks. If you convert in cash only $100k, then the tax owed that year is minuscule. Those assholes have teams dedicated to minimize the amount of taxes owed. It is why he didn’t use his money to buy xitter but used his stock and “genius CEO” fame as a collateral to persuade banks and other arab investors to lend the money for him (and hold the bag if it sank)
So in order to donate that quarter of a billion he had to liquidate stocks and pay taxes on that. Ouch, so so much painful for a billionaire. For them paying taxes is like being robbed. So, it’s more like paying $20k for you
While you are correct with all that, I would argue it’s not like paying half of all I have. Say your 20k is after 33% tax, that’d be 30k before taxes, our of the 50k I did my original math with.
It’s be like paying 30$ then, plus the “I’m rich and greedy so it hurts”, say 1k of physocological damage… Still a very small portion of what I have.
Hell, just in insurance, I’m paying way more than that every year!
He’s Canadian through his mother.
We’d just get stuck with him.
He already said Canada isn’t a real country. They have to send him in a real country. They can’t deport him in Canada and make Canada the 51st State and start over again.
Unless he gets sent to CECOT
He won’t be. Too rich and powerful.
I think there’s a very low but not zero chance because it really feels like Trump is trying to make Putin’s Russia here in the US. When the rich and powerful men start talking shit in Russia, they very quickly end up being not so rich and powerful.
Where’s that petition to revoke his citizenship at, anyway? Would be a nice elbow to the head.
That’s a funny way to spell El Salvador.
The rules don’t apply to the ultra rich. Even the horrifying rules.
Unfortunately.
Imagine spending $250m dollars to get deported.
As others have said: $43 billion. Elon bought Twitter.
Yeah, but he was forced to complete that transaction after he changed his mind.
What about he gets half his money back and goes exactly half the way to South Africa?
I’m all for it. Can we kick all of the right wing media off twiter again.
Elon as the fall guy is hilarious. I guess that’s the silver lining to these powerful people getting close to the orphan grinding machine.
Is Musk learning he is this administration’s Trotsky?
I can’t wait until they airbrush him out of pictures.
Thats an insult to Trotsky, sure he was the butch of the Red Army and led what was effectively a campaign of abject slaughter. But he was actually intelligent, a decent commander, knew how to write, and actually looked pretty decent unlike Musk who is none of those things. Seriously comparing Musk to Trotsky is like comparing Trump to Theodore Roosevelt.
Like it matters where he lives. He can stir up shit from anywhere on the globe.
Sending him back to south Africa after all those white genocide claims would be a hell of a thing lmao
Breaking news.
Hard Core Nazi Steve Bannon calls for narcistic fascist Elon Musk to be deported immediately.
I’m awaiting Bannon to be deemed a criminal and also deported.
