    We’re literally living in a movie plot right now… “Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination.”

    If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it’s harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it…

    Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity’s, Ingram’s, Carlson’s, etc… I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they’ve done to the population.

      Even in the movies the bad guys have minions. They don’t know their boss is that evil. Here in real life, I’m pretty sure they know and are actively promoting it.

      I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.
