"Convicted felon Donald Trump openly defies a federal judge, keeping deportation flights in the air like a wannabe dictator ignoring the rule of law. His fascist enablers, from JD Vance to Stephen Miller, cheer on this blatant power grab, attacking the judiciary for daring to hold them accountable. This is authoritarian rot, and they’re proud of it." thedailybeast.com/maga-defends

And just to add, the reason their brown shirt, sorry I meant red hat followers go along with it is because most of them are anarchists at heart, and would love to be able to tell a judge or cop or zoning inspector or HOA board or some other authoritarian figure to fuck off and leave them alone. They think a "Mad Max" society is far more appealing than the "civilized" society we live in now. And in some ways I see their point, when a kid can't even walk to the nearest playground unattended by an adult without some busybody Karen type getting the police and child protective services involved, I can see why anarchy sounds real appealing to some of them right now. But that is only because they have never lived it, and have no clue how authoritarians turn it to their advantage so that they ultimately will have far LESS freedom to do what they want. So when they see #Trump or #Musk defy a judge they cheer him on because they are deluded into thinking that someday soon they will be able to do the same.

"One way to think about this is to say that Trump is doing to America what Elon Musk is doing to Tesla, destroying a valuable brand through erratic behavior and repulsive ideology. Did I mention that Tesla sales in Europe appear to be cratering?"

"Rather than denounce the clear and present dangers to our country, many business, religious, media, and other elites continue to support Trump and Musk. Some do this by staying silent, while others follow hollowed-out GOP politicians and Christian nationalist charlatans in claiming that the smash-and-plunder operation masquerading as a government is 'saving the nation.'”

"We are living through processes of moral deregulation and moral collapse in America today under the authoritarian government of President Donald Trump and unelected co-President Elon Musk. Their policies are wrecking a robust national economy, paralyzing government, allying with dictators, creating conditions for the spread of disease, and abandoning the rule of law."

"As Trump literally tanks the American economy and the trust of the international business community, where are the voices of America’s business leaders? Are they all hoping that Trump will do a commercial on the White House lawn hawking their products too? ...

Your tax cuts will not be large enough to cover your shame. And we will remember."

"Each time we show solidarity with others, or support those who are protecting the rule of law, helping the targeted, or exposing the lies and the corruption, we are standing up for democratic values of justice, accountability, equality, and more. In doing so, we model the behaviors the authoritarian state wants us to abandon."

"You know who's doing great organizing for us right now? Elon Musk and Donald Trump, that's who. By attacking and alienating more and more swathes of the American public, they're handing us the possibility of a coalition bigger and broader than maybe anything we've ever seen in this country before. A gift, if we take it and do something with it."

"In just seven years, we shrunk the federal workforce by 426,000, consolidated 800 agencies and eliminated 640,000 pages of rules...

And you didn't notice because the process was carefully planned and responsibly executed.

It never disrupted essential public services. Compare that to now."

Fourth pane: Al continues,"In just seven years, we shrunk the federal workforce by 426,000, consolidated 800 agencies and eliminated 640,000 pages of rules. Fifth pane: Mark says, "Wait... What?

Top of the Seventh pane: Al continues,"It never disrupted essential public services. Compare that to now." Top of the eighth pane: Bits of chaos with a minion shouting, "Banana" and another one shouting, "Poopaye!"

Analysis: "The fundamental weakness of Western Civilization is empathy” ~Elon Musk

Arguably, the most damaging new war by Musk & the broligarchy is against the very notion of "empathy".

Musk, et al. frame empathy as a "trait to be eradicated in a quest for some kind of evolutionary advancement.... Empathy needs to be excised for civilization to progress."

The truth is that fascists are afraid of empathy. With good reason.
