Summary
Elon Musk has emerged as a key enforcer of Donald Trump’s agenda, warning Republicans against opposing Trump’s policies and Cabinet picks.
Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, spending heavily in swing states and funding groups like RBG PAC to broaden voter appeal.
Musk has hinted at funding primary challenges against GOP lawmakers who resist Trump, creating a “naughty and nice list” with ally Vivek Ramaswamy.
With allies in Trump’s administration and influence through his platform X, Musk’s political clout is growing rapidly.
Biggest joke ever is that stupid fucking phrase “learn history or you’re doomed to repeat it.”
A full third of us baseline will always learn that history and try to repeat it but more effectively. The lessons they learn is how to be better and longer lasting monsters.
All empires collapse, except ours is somehow immortal and humans evolved overnight into a less shitty species?
I mean, 80% of humans think various contradictory deities actually exist with zero evidence. Self described intelligent species still thinks magic and authoritarian abusive sky step-dads exist.
Joke’s on us all, that implies people even learn accurate unbiased history, or learn history at all.
I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to learn all I can, but since I’m not in any position of power, my knowledge only lets me know just how hard and fast we’re all screwed without really being able to do anything on a grand level. (Not meant to sound defeatist, just realist, and the knowledge was still all worth the learn.)
This is a really bad take.
Clearly, people have learned from history. Unfortunately for us, its our oppressors, and they’ve learned how to avoid the same errors that got them deposed in the past.
You are a fool to disregard the phrase, “learn history or you’re doomed to repeat it.” An absolute fool.
You literally just rephrased exactly what they just said. Who do you think the ‘third of us who learn and try to repeat it but better’ was talking about?
That phrase is valid and apropos for the millions of voters, and apathetic non-voters, which it describes.
