Trump and Elon Want to Make America Argentina
If you want to see what the oligarchs have in store for the U.S., look at Argentina.
So, I belong to a Facebook group consisting mostly of MAGA, with a few of us contrary voices who like to troll them on occasion.
One of the MAGA faithful in that group is particularly delusional. He’s made it clear his cheeto jesus will solve all of our problems and make gas super cheap and get interest rates down to 2 percent.
Sigh.
What does one do with such a delusional tool? I try to give them a cold heaping dose of facts, when I’m feeling particularly generous, or spiteful.
Somehow MAGA missed Elon Musk promising to crash the economy. Maybe because it wasn’t covered by Fox, Newsmax, OAN or Joe Rogan.
Yes, Musk promised Trump would crash the economy, even though the corporate media kept telling us dudebros voted for Trump cuz “The economy, stupid.”
Trump even doubled down, affirming that yes, he’s going to let Elon take giant scissors to the “administrative state”…
