‘Complicit’? quite the judgement esp when someone is not of America & has a world full of politics to educ themselves about. Many may have a broad sweep / partic knowledge of some issues / geog areas inc their own; America & ‘key players’ may think it’s of prime imp; it’s far from that for many.

Yes, I can see that.

Many, inc me, didn’t follow Musk’s politics; was aware of his Twitter/X craic but not his ‘right-wing’ support. Many may say, ‘But …’, but there it is & doesn’t help for some to call ‘those like me’ stupid, liars or secret ‘Trump supporters.’ That’s just bullying & belongs in Twitter X, not here.

Don’t agree; I can’t be alone in not recog this level of debasement coming & am not going to criticise s’one bc they were somewhat gullible & optimistic & lacked awareness of level some wld sink to. We need optimism to maintain pos mental health despite it s’times resulting in getting it wrong.

I suspect for some, inc me, naivety & shock underpinned the disbelief that anyone wld promote nazism and be celebrated for it in this day & age. What a world we live in. & how did we even get to this place so speedily? Horrendous.

Trump’s unfettered arrogance & rampant, gluttonous ego could well be the downfall of him. Either that or he may get a ‘Et Tu, Brute/Brutus’ from a back-stabbing, skulking Musk🗡️

I bet there’s a lot more in the cupboard & Murdoch will now be trying to get ahead the game negotiating. Bet he was testing the water-strength w this one. And he’ll still be welcomed in the ‘hallion’ inner circle w the rest of his millionaires mates.

15 years! My, wasn’t Murdoch’s creepy-crawlies eager little ferrets. The faffing arrogance of the sh***hawk. & I bet it’s the tip of the tip of the proverbial. Everyone/anyone just fish in a barrel to these media despots.

America headed back to the 1940s in a handcart. A terrible day for political annals.

Remarkable how one such man as Trump & a gang of wannabes could hijack a country the like of America; who could have imagined this happening in the year 2025

Interesting that he wouldn’t, if only to bluff his way for the Christians or even for ‘superstition’ reasons. He must be utterly switched off from any sense of emotion; utterly dead within, apart from fundamentally destructive hate.

Disgraceful; Trump has no morals or shame or common decency; zilch, nada. Yet there are those that admire him, still. Makes u wonder what exactly it would take before they would turn away.

I didn’t see multiples and he seems a very awkward, clumsy individual with v poor communication skills so I think, quite possibly, him. But, heigh ho, if u see a nazi salute, u could be right.

We can but hope but I doubt it; his followers just seem to love the dog- whistles.

It followed his comment re giving those people his heart so I imagine that’s what he was doing. And he may/not be a fascist too, of course but I wouldn’t know.
