Another take:

The happy rider, is a conspiracy theory enjoyer. Happy in the “knowledge” that someone (anyone) is at the controls of the world, it gives comfort in a perverse way. Even though they know that the “controllers” are doing bad things.
The sad rider, is a realist. Can see that they are stuck on a trolley that is currently plowing through people, their personal actions mean nothing in the aggregate of all other actions in the world. They saw that the person at the leaver chose to keep themselves pure, rather than reduce the suffering in the world and taint themselves in the process.

Agenda 2025, is not written by trump.

He is easily manipulated.

Those wanting to effect change will have little problem.

I have been unduly interested in US politics since 2016.

The last Trump presidency emboldened crazies and the right wing here in NZ. Our current government is acting far more right wing than any in the past 30 years. 30 years ago, there were other reasons for the moves that were made…this time it seems to be because FUCK YOU if you are not already rich.

I really wish that US politics wasn’t so important for the rest of the world…but it really is. It sucks!

If Trump wins again, then I see a further strengthening of the global right. As it is, it is going to take a generation to reverse some of the issues currently being created.

That doesn’t make much sense.

How, specifically, would he be destroyed. He’s literally the most wealthy person in the world (sometimes second). What does Tucker think that Harris (the US govt) have on Musk…that they wouldn’t have already used?

If he is such a giant criminal; why would the government not already be prosecuting this case?

Well if it makes you feel better (probably not); the right wing government here is tanking the economy…for reasons.

It seems to be hell bent on giving tax cuts to the already wealthy; but usually when they have done this in the past, the kept the rest of the economy relatively stable. But this time it is one terrible decision after another, and rather then the “soft landing” we were on target for when they were elected, is looking like a full recession that didn’t need to happen.
