I can only wait and see. It's interesting though to see firsthand how people are taking this tiktok situation. It may have faded away in two years time. On the other had it starts to look like we were hoodwinked in a too blatant way. People easily forget politics. But they can get awfully resentful if you mess with their toys.
And hunky woodchopper getting political in front of his 10 million followers was a sight to behold.
Congratulations America
You approach this from the wrong side. It's not conductive to your aims to ridicule the people who you need to win back. Liberals in the USA have lost many people who in principle agree with them, but who don't want to have them agreeing being taken to it's extremest variant being normalised and being denied at the same time. It's time for you to admit that you started woke. And when you were called out on it started ridiculing the use of the term at all, as if you didn't know how you had used it, while materially turning on the practise a notch up.
Millions were abhorred when Musk made that salute. But you Loki, look in the mirror and know: 'das haben Sie gemacht'.
Congratulations America

As for Elon: he's been sucking up to the AfD for months now. It's pretty clear where he got his salute from.
I don't have the patience to explain why doing Nazi salutes is a bad thing.
38% of the population is entirely onboard with white supremacy and support this. Another 12% voted for Trump because they're concerned about the cost of living but are too dumb to realize Trump will make things worse. These people are overwhelmingly ignoring the news. The other 50% oppose Trump and don't need to be persuaded that Nazism is bad. Nothing will change until Trump starts tanking the economy. Waiting for those tariffs and wars with the Fed.
What strategy? All the institutions are either supporting Trump or too afraid to challenge him. He's breaking law and after law and nothing is being done about it. He's taking revenge on his enemies and facing no consequences. Until most people can't deny that he fucked things up, nothing will happen.
So much doom, personally I think the cuts to government bloat is going to be nice. Already we see companies following suit in getting rid of deadweight (and racist) programs. Lots of things that Trump does aren?t going to be good (tariffs) but there?s been some nice wins so far.
Right, Lewk. DEI is like half the federal budget.
Talk about an absurd goalpost. Half the federal budget isn?t going to get cut, it basically can?t given how much is entitlements.
