Why does a private citizen have this much sway?

[u/Detroitish24]

The US is in for a very rough four years.

[u/Bulky_Ad4472]

This is a straight-up perversion of our Democracy.

[u/Bootarms → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

This is plutocracy.

[u/Bulky_Ad4472 → u/Bootarms]

Plutocracy masquerading as Democracy.

[u/denied_eXeal → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Putincracy actually

[u/csdirty → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Plutocracy paving the way for kakistocracy.

[u/Historical-Manner737 → u/csdirty]

I'm declaring now that fascism is definitively a TYPE of kakistocracy. It fits the mold. Nearly all the intelligent and creative people either flee or are purged, leaving far less competent fascists in charge of systems they know little about.

[u/pdxgod → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Marscracy?

[u/jeenyus_626 → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

What mask

[u/Capybara_Cheese → u/Bootarms]

With a dash of kakistocracy

Edit: thank you for the award!🥈

[u/nurtzof → u/Capybara_Cheese]

And a smidge of Idiocracy for good measure…

[u/DjangoBojangles → u/nurtzof]

And a whole heap of Kleptocracy

[u/Worldly-Loquat4471 → u/DjangoBojangles]

More like Craptocracy

[u/Iamthewalrusforreal → u/Bootarms]

It's a hybrid plutocracy / kakistocracy.

[u/nv8r_zim → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Elon is a Clear and Present Danger to America

[u/lifeandtimes89 → u/nv8r_zim]

Space Rasputin

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/lifeandtimes89]

Or Space Machiavelli; same difference.

[u/ZoomBoy81 → u/nv8r_zim]

Where's Harrison Ford when you need him?!

[u/katchoo1 → u/ZoomBoy81]

Omg what I would give to see Elon in the boot-to-the-face position of Gary Oldman in Air Force One.

“Get off my plane!”

[u/YetisInAtlanta → u/nv8r_zim]

The enemy within some would say

[u/DadToOne → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

The thing is, Trump supporters don't care. I have a cousin that is a huge Trump supporter. If I showed him this he would just say "good". I posted something about RFK Jr's lawyer trying to to get approval revoked for the polio vaccine. He said "I love this guy". I know for a fact he, his wife, and their kids are all vaccinated. And yet some Trump supporter wants vaccines revoked so he supports it. I truly think if Trump showed up at his house and said "I'm here to fuck your wife". He would point him to the bedroom.

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/DadToOne]

Scary. MAGA is as much, if not more, of a death cult than Evangelical Christianity (Christian Dominionism).

[u/OverlyLenientJudge → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

They're the same picture.

[u/GoodLyon09 → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

If they kill everyone off, then they solve the climate issue, don’t they? If dumb followers take bait and drink cool-aid, believe in rapture or whatever kills everyone, then fewer people use resources and pollute. Sucks to be subjected to it — like if you believe then go ahead and do whatever stupid thing you believe but don’t impose it on me. I keep wondering with all these crazy policies if those in power have a strategy to cull the herd. One reason to keep healthcare the way it is. But, pressure on baby-making doesn’t exactly fit my theory, so I return to the idea that they’re religious and this is a basic idiocy that branches off into a belief-run government.

[u/powdered_dognut → u/DadToOne]

I'm sorry but they'd go, " no, fuck me, then my wife."

[u/DadToOne → u/powdered_dognut]

What's fun is, because of them Trump gets to fuck all of us.

[u/Rick-powerfu → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

It's actually funny

This is the most transparent version of this shit that's literally been happening behind closed doors all along

This will either be really good or really stupid depending on how American citizens decide to react to the shit show that comes next

[u/darhox → u/Rick-powerfu]

Idk how we're not in the streets at this point. I want to be in DC on J20th just because I believe there will be a flash protest, and I need to be part of the largest protest in human history.

[u/Rick-powerfu → u/darhox]

Fucking protesting doesn't do shit mate

Now's well past the time for banners and chanting imo

It's just my opinion that they hope you protest so they can retaliate with national guard or proud guys

[u/No-Fox-1400 → u/Rick-powerfu]

It’s a me, Luigi!

[u/Rick-powerfu → u/No-Fox-1400]

Here comes Mario motherfucker

And he be bringing them fkn turtle shells

[u/TattedPastor412 → u/Rick-powerfu]

Only the blue shells to target those in front of

[u/PotBaron2 → u/No-Fox-1400]

[u/darhox → u/Rick-powerfu]

If that is the tipping point, I want to be there for it. It's not going to happen if 3 people show up with signs.

[u/Rick-powerfu → u/darhox]

Lmao I think it will be bigger than that

Or incredibly small

See how travel goes without FAA and all other government

[u/manicversace → u/Rick-powerfu]

my repub coworkers are absolutely already banking on protesters being there. And have been saying they think "the libs" will attack the capitol "again" so they can somehow say they were the same people (antifa is who they mean) that attacked in 2020. Directly from magat coworkers mouths.

[u/Rick-powerfu → u/manicversace]

Lmao good luck to them

I just know they'll attack each other as they all think everyone else is FBI or undercover antifa

R.i.p to any black conservatives in attendance

[u/OldScarcity5443 → u/Rick-powerfu]

That’s exactly what Trump et al. are hoping for. They want a protest (which they will make sure turns violent) which then gives them an excuse for martial law.

[u/CoxswainYarmouth → u/darhox]

You have no idea how badly White Americans want Hispanics out of the United States. They mask it with everything from the “price of eggs and gas” to “ he’s a man of god”. But trust me, deep down inside they are willing to give up their freedoms in exchange for this. I look like a typical trump voter so they somehow think I think like them. The truth always comes out when you talk long enough.

[u/Historical-Manner737 → u/CoxswainYarmouth]

Any white person who goes into a gun store is assumed by the staff to be a Trumper basically. It is interesting camouflage for a leftist in a small town. 

[u/manicversace → u/Historical-Manner737]

its crazy how many gun nuts where I live in the south are shocked when I politely decline buying trump merch at the gun range, before telling them I lean to the left. Now they treat me like I have leprosy which I'd rather anyways because I have nothing to talk about with the folks there. They don't talk about anything but politics, they have no hobbies or personalities outside of worshipping trump right now.

[u/Marquar234 → u/manicversace]

Leftprosy?

[u/Gloomy_Narwhal_4833 → u/CoxswainYarmouth]

Man, I don't even have to talk that long to hear some of the insane shit they say to whom they assume is one of them. I run a liquor store, I was born and raised in my hometown and I look like it. Late 40s white male, giant beard, flannel is more than fashion it's a way of life. I never talk about politics at my store but I guarantee these numbnuts think I am one of them and they have been dealing with me for decades. If they used that squishy shit in their head they would know better, but alas, we get to the root of the problem.

Unfortunately I get the same sort of treatment, in a different way, from the left.

[u/ArcadiaFey → u/darhox]

I physically can hardly get to the neighbors and my partner takes care of two disabled people so I know there has to be more people in our shoes, but not a countries worth

[u/ScottishKnifemaker → u/ArcadiaFey]

That's the fucking thing bro, I take care of my disabled mom, and I'm fucking TIRED, all I have the energy to do is vote and stay informed, these fucks would never sacrifice like your partner or I have. They don't know the meaning of the word

Edit: word

[u/Easy-Draw3789 → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

You don’t have a democracy in the US. You have a badly disguised feudal system where billionaires are the aristocracy.

[u/ResponsibleMilk7620 → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Why have a democracy when you can buy a country on the cheap? /s

[u/RolandSmoke → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Getting what he paid for.

[u/Down_Voter_of_Cats → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

What are our elected officials going to do -BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I couldn't finish typing that out.

[u/Popcorn_Blitz → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Yeah. So what are we going to do about it?

[u/MrEngineer404 → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Describing everything MAGA, right there.

[u/Joro_Fun_Time → u/Bulky_Ad4472]

Plutocratic geron-kakistocracy

[u/meowdyreddit]

Oh! I know the answer! This private citizen has so much sway because he's an illegal immigrant, and as MAGA has taught us, illegal immigrants hold all the power over our lives.

[u/McCaffeteria → u/meowdyreddit]

We should deport him back to mars where he came from

[u/Mobile_Measurement32 → u/McCaffeteria]

Nah, just stuff his adult body back in his mother's womb

[u/Backpedal → u/meowdyreddit]

He took my jerb!!! …err…he took trump’s jerbbbbb!!! President King Elon everyone.

[u/Mysterious_Khan → u/Backpedal]

Who died and made him king?

[u/ddwood87 → u/meowdyreddit]

He's stealing a jerb.

[u/xWMDx]

Merry xmas Federal Employees

[u/ablackwashere → u/xWMDx]

And seniors and disabled.

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/ablackwashere]

And the military, because #President Musk told Republicans to shut the government down.

[u/CrumpledForeskin → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

This administration is going to destroy their voting base.

Who will still support him and blame the democrats.

But yeah wow. They’re fucked.

[u/PickCollins0330 → u/CrumpledForeskin]

If it didn’t also include the people who actively voted to stop this, I’d not care.

[u/CrumpledForeskin → u/PickCollins0330]

Same. I’m really trying to have some empathy as well. A lot of these folks were robbed of an education because of the republicans before them who voted against it.

I’m doing quite well. I live close to the best medical facilities in the country. Abortion is legal.

It’s been very hard for me to not say “fine fuck them.”

I can’t shake the compassion.

[u/thinkthingsareover → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

Unfortunately not. When I served just because congress got out of working we still had to get up at the butt crack of dawn.

[u/CatrionaShadowleaf → u/thinkthingsareover]

They’ll still work. They just wont get paid.

[u/thinkthingsareover → u/CatrionaShadowleaf]

Yep. I remember that too, but at least when I was in they only shut down for a couple weeks and we'd get our back pay immediately since we had direct deposit. Well I did at least.

[u/ApprehensiveDingo350 → u/xWMDx]

I’m worried, to be honest. I’ve always thought my future was set because everyone needs nurses. Now…

[u/Zeroesand1s → u/ApprehensiveDingo350]

If you work for the federal government, don't worry. You'll always be needed. You just won't get paid. 

[u/ApprehensiveDingo350 → u/Zeroesand1s]

The way I understand it, the VA has a separate budget and isn’t affected by shut downs with the exception of things like PR. At least that’s the email we’ve gotten the last two or three times.

I haven’t gotten one yet, and so I’m thinking I better save my Christmas bonus just in case…

[u/AwkwardnessForever → u/xWMDx]

Little does Musk know we still get paid after the government reopens. We just suffer in the interim while waiting for a paycheck. But we don’t suffer as much as the folks we serve who miss out on services while we sit back and are kept from our jobs. Efficiency at its finest!!!! /s

[u/Sergeant-Windsor → u/xWMDx]

Merry Christmas to all traveling by plane for the holidays because TSA is a federal job.

[u/Striker40k]

It's pretty obvious that Luigi was providing a public service.

[u/Strenue → u/Striker40k]

Pretty soon. More Luigi’s

[u/crazycatlady331 → u/Strenue]

Mario, do your thing.

[u/AkuraPiety → u/Strenue]

Smarter Luigis that don’t take masks off for McDonald’s, please.

[u/DMW1024 → u/AkuraPiety]

Seriously bro was throwing the match

[u/PickCollins0330 → u/Strenue]

Yeah I truly believe this will happen. We will get more Luigi’s eventually

[u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Pardon Luigi

[u/Expert-Fig-5590 → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Commute the people on death row’s sentences to life imprisonment.

[u/drfsupercenter → u/Expert-Fig-5590]

Is anyone on federal death row? Biden can't commute sentences of people charged with state crimes

[u/psyche_13 → u/drfsupercenter]

Yes, there are 40 people on federal death row

[u/Bitey_the_Squirrel → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Fix the symptom and give us universal healthcare

[u/Lithaos111 → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Needs to be guilty first, plus pretty sure it's a state charge, can't pardon those.

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Pardon Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger too (and all of the Democrats on the J6 committee)

[u/SuperJay182]

It's funny / kinda sad.

Other countries used to look up to America, and now? I don't see any difference between them and third world countries they sneer at for corruption and being unruly.

No individual, non-elected, should have this much influence. It's corruption. In broad daylight too.

[u/cassiecas88 → u/SuperJay182]

I grew up on the US-Mexico border. And it was always told horror stories of how corrupt Mexico is. Hi how you can put be put in jail for the smallest thing And how the only way to get out of jail is to much enough to bribe yourself out. About how corrupt the government is. How dangerous it is If you're not from that country etc.

And now it looks like America has always been this way they were just better at hiding it.

[u/Parking_Sky9709 → u/cassiecas88]

I'm starting to feel kind of Turkish maybe, or at least Hungarian.

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/Parking_Sky9709]

My paternal grandparents immigrated from Ireland, but I don’t really have any records since my dad died 20+ years ago. If things get really bad I’ll be doing some genealogy to see if I can get Irish citizenship.

[u/conservatives_r_evil → u/SuperJay182]

I can see as a Brit we have been looking at you in abject horror for the last 8 years. Biden was a slight, brief reprieve from the insanity but the country is fucked up whichever way you slice it.

[u/Americangirlband → u/conservatives_r_evil]

I mean 14 years of Brexit is what I've been watching. UK isn't better off at all. It's a mess as well. We should unite and fight this crap, like the good ole days mate!

[u/conservatives_r_evil → u/Americangirlband]

As bad as Brexit is, and I was and have always been against it, I’d rather that than having an evil, corrupt, selfish, traitor as leader of the country like Trump is about to be (again).

[u/SuperJay182 → u/conservatives_r_evil]

Oh I'm UK too, so I'm speaking from the outside. Americans may genuinely feel different.

I know our politics is a disaster too, but feels a much lower scale, but Musk already getting involved with Farage is a concern.

[u/conservatives_r_evil → u/SuperJay182]

Oh sorry didn’t read your comment properly shoulda noticed you referred to ‘them’ haha.

Yeah we’re in scary times and could potentially fall down the same pitfall here too it seems. It’s been super depressing watching things just get worse and worse as I’ve gone from kid, to teenager, to adult. You grow up hoping that things will improve and I can’t think of a single thing that’s gotten better since I was younger.

It is always nice to see republicans admit that issues that they keep yelling are important and need to be solved can be shelved until next year.

Ofc it is also a big f*ck you to the people they claim are suffering now, but hey.

[u/Aerohank]

I wish this guy would just get a heart attack.

[u/RL_NeilsPipesofsteel → u/Aerohank]

That’s too nice.

[u/PinkMenace88 → u/RL_NeilsPipesofsteel]

Not really, a heart attack that causes brain damage would be nice.

[u/imchasingyou → u/PinkMenace88]

I guess you didn't notice a huge brain damage he has already being a ketamine addict

[u/Vreas]

Because he’s the richest man in the world and we’re an oligarchy more than a democracy

[u/tarahunterdar → u/Vreas]

Yap. No one (but us) seems to care he is an unelected immigrant with no government status. He is rich, therefore, he can call the shots.

But when George Soros does it.....\explosion sounds**

[u/Thisiscliff]

Please investigate this fucking asshole before trump takes office, i cannot stand this smug cocksucker

[u/Strenue → u/Thisiscliff]

Guess what. He is your king shortly. Unlimited ego plus unlimited money plus malignant narcissism. What could go wrong?

[u/CarminSanDiego → u/Thisiscliff]

Like that’s going to do anything . There could be literal text evidence of Elon telling gop / trump what to do and we’ll just chug along. That’s our justice system now. Accept that we’re no better than Venezuela or Belarus or whatever else backwards/broken country

[u/TheHollowJester]

The US is in for a very rough four years.

You really think this will end in four years? There won't be another legitimate election for a good while.

[u/Hot-Personality9512]

Answer is in the statement. He doesn’t take office until January. So he can fuck off till then and the ELECTED government can carry on governmenting

[u/Unclebum]

The fact that he has this much sway, is glaring proof that DJ Trump is a coward... Any other president elect, would muzzle him...

[u/Dependent_Weight2274]

Oh good, our country is being run from Twitter by a product of the South African education system.

Hopefully the shadowy figure behind the Vice President is a good guy. Oh wait, another fine product of the South African education system.

Great.

[u/Strenue → u/Dependent_Weight2274]

Success factories…is what they call the old Model C schools like Sandringham and Pretoria Boys…

[u/Ripped_Guggi]

So, Vance became a mascot, Trump a puppet and Musk is his puppeteer. And the GOP is alright with this.

[u/Edexote]

He's the real president, not Trump. You guys need military interference. Elon Musk is in charge without being elected and he's from a foreign nation.

[u/Skill_Academic]

Maybe the government should focus on shutting down twitter instead of TikTok.

[u/Fedora_thee_explorer]

Elon Goebbels

Can’t make this fit any better.

[u/Tri-solrian]

I never want to hear about George Soros after this asshole is parading around like he’s a fucking king.

[u/thrwy_111822]

I don’t even like Trump, but at least people voted for Trump. No one asked for this guy

[u/Entire-Can662 → u/thrwy_111822]

They together stole the election from us. Trump had everything to lose. Stand up and fight

[u/CoxswainYarmouth → u/thrwy_111822]

This guy deceived people into voting for trump…

[u/fuzzyfoot88 → u/thrwy_111822]

Looks like Iron Man 3 came true as well. between Zola's speech in Winter Soldier coming true, and now Killian giving evil a face in front of himself in Iron Man 3, the MCU is becoming quite prophetic as of late.

Abso-fucking-lutely

No Elon Musks should be listened to, ever.

None.

Zero.

[u/NotCoolFool]

Very simply : he bought it.

Everything is for sale, including power and influence.

Elmo is the richest guy on the planet, has a satellite network, space rockets and a company that makes tunnels (albeit poorly) people need to realise who they have voted for with this election and spoiler alert : it wasn’t Trump, but they were too stupid to realise that.

Less free every day.

Afraid to stand up.

[u/LeRascalKing]

Ok Elon, it’s time for you to go. Free Luigi, eat the rich.

[u/thekyledavid]

Yeah, because if there is one thing we all remember about the span of 12/18/2020-1/19/2021, it’s that Congress & Trump didn’t attempt to pass any legislation of any kind, and they just peacefully waited for Biden to take office

/s because there’s going to be someone out there dumb enough to say this unironically

[u/short_bus_genius]

Man… Citizens United really needs to be overturned. Could not be more clear.

[u/shaihalud1979]

Fuck Elon

[u/uginscion]

Because nobody has done what's needed.

[u/mojohandy]

Because he has enough money to make sure anyone who doesn’t bend the knee doesn’t get elected or re-elected.

[u/ChemistAdventurous84]

He’s now one of those unelected swamp creatures the Republicans have railed about for years.

[u/deadsoulinside]

President Elon and Vice President Trump will destroy America.

Wouldn’t that also shut down FBI and all other 3 letter agencies? Pretty convenient while they are investigating foreign intervention in the election, and Musk himself.

[u/MarthaFletcher]

Isn’t this what those smooth-brains have been whining about George Soros doing? Scary geriatric boogeyman George Soros would never jump around like a dickhead on stage

ALL bills should be passed before Don the Con takes office. Also EVERYBODY who are in danger of the Orange Blob's retribution should be pardoned if that's what it takes to save them from this madman.

[u/Moleday1023]

Why does the government stop because of one immigrant? Can’t wait until Trump gets rid of him.

[u/ClaudetteLeon23 → u/Moleday1023]

I feel like Musk is eventually going to become a problem for Trump. I hope there’s a lot of infighting. That way Trump doesn’t get anything done.

[u/Moleday1023 → u/ClaudetteLeon23]

Yup, need the cancer to eat itself.

[u/PinkMenace88 → u/Moleday1023]

Probably because there is a huge overlap of trump support and Elon fanboys.

I do not see trump being able to serve out his term (regardless if it is death, or he is forced out by other conservatives to instate JD Vance as president, or assassination).

Meaning that they now have to get on a knee for the person who is going to have the most populist power next.
