This was from the amazon beef with Bernie sanders back in like 2019. Amazon created a bunch of these fake accounts only to be called out for it later.

For now. Don't get it twisted. Bmw temporarily paused the roll out of subscription services for shit you paid for. This is just a temporary pause to weather the storm of anger. It'll happen under Trump.

They also used "AI" to deny a bunch of claims. Fuck this guy and whoever replaces him. Insurance companies should be dismantled. They're a scourge on society.

Can’t wait for this to be the norm going forward.

We’re going to have so many years of unwinding all of the terrible changes that are coming our way. If we ever have the chance to unwind them.

I meant funding them but I guess that's also a possibility.

Musk goes all in on 2026 mid terms and the 2028 presidential elections for the libertarian party.

There's a cognitive dissonance on Lemmy. I keep seeing people post the electorate is stupid for electing trump or staying home while also seeing posts like this acknowledging that the democratic party isn't listening to the constituency. I realize it's likely very different audiences but this is very much a bubble among liberals which unfortunately make up a large part of the party voting base. They were fine with everything continuing to suck a tiny bit more because the alternative was Trump. I think people are just squeezed and exhausted. They're tired of being given the narrative that this is the election that will end all elections while things continue to get worse around the margins. And I think the people that would vote for systemic change don't see Democrats capable of delivering on anything substantive.

Note: This is not an endorsement of Trump or not voting at all as a result. But people really need to reckon with how broken shit is before blaming voters. Democrats have no incentives to fix anything.

JD Vance (and Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk) is not a replacement I would welcome in the event of Trump no longer being able to be president.

This is how you get new alliances around the world against the US. This could spiral very quickly.
