    I know we’re all itching for some good news but this is just a Twitter spat, hardly an AlL OuT cIviL wAr.

    I’ll believe it when they start tangibly sabotaging each other. They have a tendency to fall in line in practice.

      They fall in line when they have a common, reachable enemy. As another user recently said, which I believe was wise. - paraphrased: The only reason they’re fighting is because we haven’t made ourselves a target.

        Let’s not ignore that there’s a real, policy-based disagreement here. Tech companies like to be able to import top talent from wherever they can get it (and are generally correct that this is overall beneficial), while white nationalists are dead set against the idea, as it strikes directly against the very core of their values.

        It’s a legit disagreement, and pretty foundational.

        That said, I do overall agree that we’re kinda beaten at the moment, and too busy licking our wounds and regrouping to care that much about this.

      Remember how the old Soviet Union had leadership which was very opaque, and there were a whole class of “Kremlinologists” who would figure out who was in favor by how closely they were standing to the Soviet Premier in photographs of public events?

      This is similar, we can figure out who is close to our new Prime Minister by how he treats them on Twitter. “X-ologists”? It’s dumb, but so is everything in this timeline.

    They already “weekend-at-Bernie’s” him most of the time, his brain is mush.

    The rambling, incoherent mess that will be his inauguration speech will be one for the history books. Maybe he will even be the first president who loudly shits himself while being sworn in.

    Trump no longer needs the “little people” now that they’ve voted him into office. He’s now openly all in with the billionaires and won’t bother to pretend he gives a fuck about all the little magats any more.

    It’d almost be funny to watch the country tear itself apart. Except there’s the problem of everyone else having to still live in that world. And presently there’s still a rabies infected mouth foaming nazi Russia to deal with. So the adults still have to show up for work regardless of what nonsense America is going to fall into

    Wait wait wait… they got so close… “is doge just a way to enrich the rich through h1bs” the whole grift was to enrich the rich! They were so close to grasping… then turned inward and were going “I thought I could get mine”
