AOC explains exactly what Trump and Musk are doing

Coming soon to a Canadian theatre near you.
A vote for the GOP doesn't always mean a vote for fascist policies.
My allegation is that MAGA have hijacked those votes to push their narrative.
There is no balancing of priorities or "coalitions" here.
Those aren't even the right phrases/words to describe this.
So you mean he shouldn't have powers like Joe Biden had? You whiners whine about musk.... the suspicion that Joe Biden didn't even ran the country for 4 years is much more questionable.
Polling suggests there is sizeable support for the things you were criticizing.
Tell that to the woke that hijacked the DNC...and it's still going...you're actually a part of it... you still think men can be women right?
Look at the protests... they can't even show how much people are there.. the pro Palestinian protests draws more crowds than them.
I'd say it is more that the dominant factions in the GOP mostly agree on the first steps - destroy the administrative state and install a more autocratic executive power.
So the people who vaguely voted for things like "cheaper cost of living" and "I don't like Biden, he's old and boring" are being steamrolled because they aren't part of any of the dominant factions.
Coalitions almost always have dominant factions that push forward with their agenda and downplay other members of the coalition, so that part of the behavior isn't really exclusive to the Trump administration.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHLHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHHA
He has already been a villain in the Canadian theaters since 2017
He shouldn't have powers Biden didn't have.
I mean, I personally think there are powers Biden had that Trump shouldn't because in general the Presidency is too strong, but that's not what we are talking about here.
Not really.
That's a suspicion you want to cultivate.
Musk is openly showing he runs the country to a large degree.
The polling on the Trump-Musk moves so far is pretty interesting.
Obviously it is early days and we would need to see more.
But Trump slipping from the high of his first few weeks, Musk being generally disliked, lots of the moves still polling negatively and DOGE polling worse than the agencies it is attacking in some cases.
Kind of a mixed bag.
Cute.
We could only wish Biden had acted like he had a crushing mandate.
Even staying within the law, there are lots of places I think he could have been far more aggressive, even while acknowledging the slim majorities he was working with.
"Openly showing" there iti s...your side just don't want to say the real word for it...transparency....
Generally disliked by the left and democrats you mean...why is it that your side thinks... they speak for everybody... look at the democrats...crying about Musk...the electorate aren't.
Musk is being transparent about his position as more in charge than Trump, sure.
And I guess that qualifies as "transparency" (we know Musk is the one making the decisions, not Trump, usually).
But usually people use the term to mean that the public can see what government is doing and why, and that's the exact opposite of what is happening, given the immense effort Musk has undertaken to shield his decision making from the public not just now, but for years to come.
No.
Generally disliked.
