this is political theater, planned and staged infighting. and the liberals are going to absolutely EAT IT UP. the reality is that Trump has always been the fall guy, the scapegoat, the lightning rod.

the ownership class utilized him to concentrate power, they use him as a distraction, and now they can use him at a scapegoat. they want to pretend to "switch teams" and get on our good side, so we forget how much they were the ones who hurt us.

when you see this, just try to remind people of that. remind them who is holding us down.

if musk honestly thinks we're gonna forget he's nowhere near as smart as i thought he was.

I don't think they have as much control as you think, I just think they're confident they can come out on top of whatever chaos he causes no matter what it is.

what control are you denying?? it's two dudes deciding whether or not to fight publicly. that's all the planning and organization this would take.

Divide and conquer is the name of the game. Hopefully people will wise up one of these days
