    You can absolutely sow chaos into anything, but you will always be wrong if you believe that you can control that chaos.

    See also: absolutely everybody who ever went into a professional, legal, or political alliance with Trump, thinking that they were the ones who had finally figured out how to control his bullshit.

        Susan Collins is worth over $4 million. She knows exactly what she’s done cozying up to Musk and Trump, she stands to personally gain from a capitalist class consolidating its power over the working class.

        Almost every single member of Congress stands to personally gain from what is happening right now. It’s not a coincidence that Democrats in Congress are barely even making tsk tsk noises.
