      Materialist and power analysis. Trump does things because it suits him materially. Not cause he’s evil. So does Elon Musk. Ask what Trump has actually done for the Trump supporter.

      Everything is going to shit in the US, and instead of doubling down on “how does renaming the Gulf of Mexico lower the prices of eggs?”, online libs keep complaining on how the vote turned out and that you gan’t convince MAGAs.
