Keep it up. In a year, Tesla will be on the verge of bankruptct, and will get a massive government bailout. It wont help, and the slide will continue. Within two years, it will go out of business.

Somewhere in there, the shareholders will file a class-action lawsuit against Skum, for recklessly destroying image of the company, and tanking the stock price. They will also sue the board of directors for now removing or reigning in Skum.

I didn't say that at all. Just because someone isn't a Republican doesnt make them a Democrat, and just because someone isn't a Democrat doesnt make them a Republican.

Independents are a bigger demographic segment that Republicans or Democrats, and MANY independents, and many Dems, were against the Patriot Act. It would be nearly impossible to find a Republican who was against it.

Also, there is a big difference between the behavior of craven politicians of any party, and the citizens. Cowardly Democratic politicians voted for the Patriot Act because they were much more afraid of the backlash from terrified citizens in the wake of 9/11, than thinking Americans who could see that this bill was just a disguised Civil Rights grab.

But make no mistake, there were many people who thought the Patriot Act was a VERY bad idea, but NONE of them were Republicans.

Collapse is already starting. Many banks release SS checks several days before the official date, but they haven't arrived this month yet. Normally it shows up around the 26-28th, but it still hasn't. I asked my bank about it, and they said that soon they will have to release the checks on the official date, the 3rd. I use my SS to pay my rent, so this means that instead of my rent consistently being a few days early, it will consistently be a few days late.

They want to kill SS, and this is the first step. Once we are used to losing our early release, it will start coming a day or two late. Then a week late. People will be upset, but it will eventually show up, so they'll calm down. Then one month it will be skipped altogether, then go back to normal. Then it will happen again, until people will not be able to count on SS being reliable.

That's when they will say that the system is broken, and it should be cancelled immediately, and a new system will be developed, just like the MAGA Health Care plan. A decade of saying the new plan will be the best plan in the world, and its coming any minute, only to be told after a decade that they only have "concepts of a plan."

The MAGAs will just do what Republicans did long ago, when they declared a "War on Drugs." Most citizens thought it just meant that they were taking the issue seriously, but what it really meant was that by declaring a "War," they could take advantage of numerous policies that were only intended to be used during wartime.

So MAGA will declare a War on Illegal Immigrants, and use that to justify their cruel, unAmerican behavior.

That leaves out any Florida election. We haven't had a free election since Obaama's reelection.

I really think we are underestimating what is coming.

For sure. Anyone with a good command of history knows where we are headed.

The old saying is "Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it." It's supposed to be cautionary, but for the MAGA Nazis, its a Game Plan. They think the only thing wrong with the Nazis of WWII is that they weren't ruthless enough to win. They don't intend to make that same mistake. If anything, the MAGA Nazis will be far worse.

The only people who resisted it were non-conservatives.

Typical bully behavior, beat up on the small kid, who cant defend himself. We used to be the big kid who stood up for the smaller bullied kids. Now we're the bully. It makes me sick.

It's all part of the same massive con.

Do you think the McDonald's CEO is going to have to clean your shit out of a urinal? No, some minimum wage teenager is going to be tasked to clean up your "protest."

Grow up, and protest in ways that impacts the company image and stock price. That's what hurts them, not forcing their working employees to perform humiliating chores.
