You’re being gaslit.

Democrats did not subvert the checks and balances of our system - they faced opposition in all their initiatives in the judiciary, house, and senate.

What Musk is doing now amongst a silent government is unprecedented. His youth group is marching into federal offices walking past security and taking everything because people are afraid. They’re afraid of being fired. They’re afraid of reprisals.

The next step will be for Musk to USE what he’s taken from these IT systems. There’s a reason he beelined for the IT systems.

They have everything they need now to make lists. That is the next step. Lists of names.

Your comment comes off as alarmist, but then I realized the content of the article, and think that you may be right.

I still stand by my point that most of our politicians have done this to us, on all sides of the political spectrum. And that we would be better off empathizing with our neighbors rather than any politician.

But the scale of the jump from previous actions to this one is enormous and shouldn’t be dismissed at all.

It seems alarmist until you consider that Musk is a Nazi. He did the Hitler salute, live on national television. His followers tried to downplay it, but his own answer to the question "Are you a Nazi?" was "I bet you did Nazi that coming!"

People joke that he went from being the Henry Ford of our generation to being the Henry Ford of our generation.

I don't know whether I would say that Trump is a Nazi*, but the fact that he put a Nazi in charge of firing govt employees that don't follow orders does not bode well.

EDIT: * If only because he has never publicly admitted to being a Nazi like Musk has.

Musk is a traitor per US legal definition and his actions highly resemble a hostile foreign national takeover, he deserves nothing less than the maxumim punishment under current US law...
