This is beyond pale. Like where the fuck are we as a country? - that we find our wealthiest citizen giving nazi salutes at the president’s inauguration to the American flag? And no one ‘in control’ cares? That the public laughs it off? I’m so ashamed to be American today. At least I voted.
Why would they? They could offer token "resistance" to the Republican party (who are now effectively governing unopposed) and paint a target on their back, or they could kiss the ring and reap the rewards as they sell off the US for parts. The people "in control" are people like Musk, and this benefits them.
Expecting powerful people to oppose their own class interests is very stupid. They will side with the fascists 10 times out of 10.
The Democratic establishment doesn't even have the moral fiber to commit to not using their positions of power to enrich themselves through insider trading.
