The long decade of Trump fever on the right is breaking. A wasted body is left. MAGA has been reduced to a rag tag group unconvincingly saying Trump has saved the nation and white supremacists marching like nazis too frightened to show their faces. The movement is dying along with Trump.

A good many people on bluesky have been hacked, including me. Bluesky told me to be patient and they will send me directions on what to do. It’s been over a week and I’ve had several people contact me to let me know they’ve received something from me that I didn’t send. I hope this is resolved soon.

So, we’re openly celebrating racism, fascism and corporatism? I remember way back when Musk was excoriated for his Nazi salute and savage, irrational welfare cutting.

When you fight millionaires and billionaires, and now I guess trillionaires, you get the Republican Party. Rather than fight the wealthy there should be communication and offered plans that are efficient, transparent and comprehensive to help pay for America’s general welfare.

On CNBC, Melissa Lee called Musk a genius because, she asked, who else could think of colonizing Mars. Uh, every nickel and dime sci-fi writer and fan, and untold millions of pot smokers.

Many rich people will get richer today. The rich will lock in their profits as people who can’t afford to lose money try to follow the fevered space dream and wind up with little or nothing. This is a casino play and the house wins

Although “woke” has had its abuses, it worked to make sexism, racism, homophobia, etc, unacceptable, taboo. Even though bigots still had their belief systems, it at least kept those on the edge from going full-bigot. Now, the right is actively recruiting young people to become bigots-for-the-cause.
