What we need is another Luigi. Several of them. Put the fear of God into these assholes, that they may never deign to allow the sun to touch their faces again. Let none that look gaze upon them.
As an alternative can I offer you an aggressively trust busting Teddy?
Assuming America avoids committing to the kleptocracy path I’m hoping we can eat the rich at the end of this road.
It’s really feeling like this won’t end softly - it’s unlikely some random centrist dem wins in 2028 and everyone says “Fair match, sport”. Either America as we knew it dies or there’s going to be a radical revolution. I guess my point is… there will be a radical revolution, I just hope it’s a good one.

There is no or. The America as we knew it is dead. The level of such is the question and what it looks like after.
But the America we knew had far reaching power through trade and alliances. The America we knew had backing of friends. The America we knew may not have always been in the right and not always successful, but there was expectations of it roughly keeping its deals internationally and rule of law at home. All that is gone.
Now the America today is one that will immediately drop deals on a whim, will turn its backs on its allies to shake hands with enemies, has no friends, has no allies, and no expectation for rule of law.
France… US’s oldest ally even before it was a country has committed that if we invade Greenland that they’d commit troops and are looking at offering their nuclear weapons as an umbrella to Europe because the US cannot be trusted. There is no going back to “whoopsies, we made a mistake” like we were able to do last time we got Trump out of office.
Buckle up. We’re about to see how far down we can fall.
We need another FDR to fix this problem that Musk and Trump caused. And have sanctions.

20,000 Luigi’s showing up in DC aught to do it.
General strike. March on Washington. Demand reform.
Centrists will never let another FDR through the primaries.
