Edit: the American masses don’t like their world view being questioned it seemed

When you write something like this, you can't genuinely think it's 100% accurate, right? Like, you have to know it's BS deep down, right?

I've heard about the cabinet confirmations. What else is there?

I'm not doing either of those things. I'm pointing out that things staying the same is preferable to them getting worse. Of course positive change is also better than stagnation. Those are both true. It's a pretty simple scale IMO, progress > stagnation > regress. I don't see where the misunderstanding is coming from; do you think I wouldn't prefer progress?

Interesting!

I too am disappointed at the lack of resistance from the supposed opposition party. Still not the same thing though.

Do you understand what is going on in our government right now? The scale or even intentions are not the same in the slightest and are entirely unprecedented. You could be disappeared tomorrow by plainclothes lackeys and sent to an El Salvadorian death camp with no due process. That is no longer an exaggeration. They're gutting nearly all government services and purging anyone who does not ideologically agree with them. They've destroyed our digital security and have opened the information of millions of Americans up to foreign and domestic influence. I hate the media too but this is not business as usual.

I wouldn't say nothing, but yes your core argument is true. That doesn't invalidate what I said however.

Five hundred cigarettes

Is Musk actually operating under the belief that the literal government is "the resistance" or is he just pretending? I think he might be delusional enough to actually believe it

Given the scale of harm is quite different, I don't think describing it as merely a different type of harm is accurate.

The "we" in their argument is ambiguous as to the size of the group it's referring to, so no, I'm not misconstruing anything. But it's certainly more than one person (themself). Their argument is that the number of people getting hurt expanded when Trump was elected. Saying they don't want that is therefore equivalent to saying that they don't want more people getting hurt.

It took me a sec as well lol

"BS"

Isn't he also the king of the vatican? Kings are traditionally ordained by God

I hope the next pope can be as good as Pope Francis was

Interesting point but you're trying very hard to twist "I don't want any more people to get hurt" into a bad thing. I don't think these sorts of word games or speculation where you hammer someone's intentions into a mold that you can bash is healthy discussion.

But that is literally superior to making things worse. It's not about feeling anything, it's about outcomes.

Really?

He's dead. Calling it now.
