Idiocy Doesn't Stray Far from the Radar

Some people are just incapable of getting a clue if it was written on paper and handed to them with the answer. Such as with the case this morning among democrats and republicans. On one side you had the liberals warning of the pearls involved of falling into the trap of the fascist dictator in chief to be while the other side sent out warnings to the president elect to beware.
"David Pepper, former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, warned that things won't go well for the donors."
"Because he owns The Washington Post, Bezos would know more than anyone that one of the first scandals in the first Trump term was the excess and graft involved in Trump’s inauguration operation, orchestrated by the cast of shady characters who put it all together," he wrote. "As for those business leaders cozying up to Trump to curry favor, they might want to read 'Garden of Beasts' to see the effectiveness of their strategy (or ask Justin Trudeau)."
Evidently, he missed that Amazon was a donor in Trump's first inauguration only to a lesser extent than currently. He was and still is one of the shady characters involved. This time around it's a "check mate" by the king of excess and graft and all the shady other characters that have been crawling out from behind the woodwork.
This was hardly the internet of the day stupid winner quote, that is reserved for one of the numbskulls who thinks Trump still needs the "look squirrel" warning.
"But it wasn't just liberals who were upset. Some pro-Trump commenters were also enraged at what they saw as attempts to influence the president-elect's agenda by a number of wealthy businessmen, some of whom have criticized him in the past."
"Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg are all donating $1,000,000 to Trump’s inaugural committee to try to 'get on the good foot' with the new administration," wrote right-wing podcaster Joey Mannarino. "Don’t be fooled. These men haven’t changed and $1,000,000 to them is sofa change. They’re bad actors. Period."
The headline says it all really, the fury is directed at the donors while Trump escapes any fury for accepting the money because they can't accept acknowledging to themselves that if there was something worse than the deep state it would be the elevation of these bad actors. It's a little late on the period emphasis.
I guess they didn't put much forethought into getting rid of the deep state who would fill the vacuum The only one not mentioned on this gala list of bad actors is Peter Thiel who simply said there was no longer a reason to donate money to political campaigns or accept a job in the current administration without elaborating his company is the biggest defense contractor paid by the government. Why downgrade to job that would cause him "depression" and drive him "crazy" he was quoted as saying. As low key as he'd prefer to stay about it, killing people is much more enjoyable. Thiel though, known to hold strong authoritarian beliefs, doesn't like to be hamstrung, and government does a pretty good job of that.
"You can't go full-time into government if you've been in a tech position like I have. It's just — the sort of things you have to be realistic about, what you can and can't do."
Which is why he put to good use his defensive expertise to undermine the republican party for a takeover by the tech billionaires.
"Worth $14.8 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, the 57-year-old PayPal confounder was one of the first Silicon Valley leaders to espouse conservative views."
The left had done gone over the cliff whereas high jacking the republican base was merely a matter of asking for forgiveness of having seen the errors of their way. Playing on the emotions of God, guns, and country was a lot easier than playing on the emotional mess the democratic party had become.
Operation Sensibilities, which I'd like to call it, has been won. After getting his tech buddies aboard, funding the operation with millions of dollars to get Trump and JD Vance elected, the mission has been accomplished, and he feels no more needs to be accomplished on his part.
Now it's just a matter of tearing down all those things they can't do using the man they installed as president. There's no more naivete involved in this. You don't see Trump returning any of the millions they have donated or telling Zuckersmuck where he can stick his Zuckerbucks. Or telling the Fake News Washington Post Bezo, no tax monopoly Amazon player he's not invited, or not thanks to genocide Thiel he's not needed, or Elon that his cars truly suck. It's not going to happen, because these are your new vacuum players, Trump's "secret new friends", with each one of them having high stakes in this game as Zuckersmuck will continue his censorship, Bezo will win a monopoly over the entire postal system, Elon will go on to privatize space travel and force you into electric vehicles, and Thiel will continue on managing Trump's new paradigm for the middle east. What, from what's been being said the last few days, you'll get out of the deal is no consumer protections, no FDIC insurance backing your deposits, no regulatory regulations for crashes out on the roads, and a "I don't think I'll be able to reduce food cost" quoted by Trump as he moves to tariff and do trade deals rising prices and selling abroad more of the food supply. He'll undermine the gas-powered vehicles by raising tariffs on every part. When they get done, state actors, aligned with non-state actors will control and own everything and you'll be lucky if you don't end up eating Bill Gates bugs.
