Understand that @JDVance is a man who, as a full-grown adult in his 30's, said Trump was Hitler and there was something wrong w those who supported him. You don't go from "Hitler" to his VP. This is not a normal person. This is a hyper-ambitious opportunist w zero credibility.
Elon Musk agrees: Trump’s economic plans will lead to ‘hardship’ and cause markets to ‘tumble’
The former president’s wealthy allies are promoting the idea of economic collapse and high prices as a necessary side effect of Trump’s economic agenda: (@Independent / October 29, 2024)
“The world’s wealthiest man appears to believe that a Donald Trump presidency must crash the economy in order to benefit Americans.
Elon Musk agreed on Tuesday that proposed drastic cuts to the federal government, coupled with Trump’s sweeping deportations, will likely cause global markets to “tumble.”
Last week, Musk said during a virtual town hall that Americans will experience a “temporary hardship” for “long-term prosperity.”
“We have to reduce spending to live within our means,” said Musk, who has pitched himself as the director of a new “Office of Government Efficiency” under a second Trump administration.”
Vance is deliberately antagonizing Canadians with malicious falsehoods and distortions, designed to incite hatred against one of America’s closest allies, second only to the United Kingdom. Not only is this rhetoric dangerous, but it mirrors a common tactic of authoritarian regimes—shifting blame onto external actors to distract from domestic failures.
In reality, drugs flow into the United States because Americans demand them. Laissez-faire capitalism may generate prosperity for some, but it also fosters economic desperation and social trauma—both of which fuel addiction and the need for escapism.
The Rise of Hitler: A History of How Democracy Fell in Germany and Its Parallels to Today
🧵1/11: His past was steeped in scandal—a felon, accused of treason and sedition, his actions and rhetoric frequently straddling the line of legality. He was convicted for attempting to overthrow the government, yet this criminal history didn’t disqualify him.
It only made him more appealing to those who viewed the establishment as corrupt and broken. Instead of disqualifying him, his criminal record and charges became part of his defiant charm, painting him as an outsider willing to fight the system.
Every accusation, every charge of treason, only fueled his rise, showing his supporters that he could not be tamed and was the only one willing to challenge the powers that had held the nation in their grip.
@MsFab123@RandPaul American corporations CHOSE to shift mfg to China (cuz cheap labor). And now we want to punish....checks notes....CHINA for that??????
Vance attacks Catholic Church: "The US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to look in the mirror a little bit (about immigration)…Are they worried about humanitarian concerns or are they worried about their bottom line?" @atrupar
