the idea that there’s something you can do - some level of performance you can achieve - that makes you safe from the whims of execs is something they want to avoid
they want you to fear for your job, they want you to feel unsafe and unable to speak out
that, above all else, is the message

the transition from “you cannot say this shit in public” to “saying this shit in public will get you a job in a presidential administration” has been rapid and extremely bad for society as a whole
I've always thought that there's this line where you have to go from being the psycopath in front of the screen saying whatever the fuck you want online into the real world and it being a good stepping stone for adulthood for men but it really appears like we've just stripped it away.
it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse
we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society

it took longer than expected but this did eventually get to Trump re: Elon! it has the added benefit of being even more true for Miller than it was for Musk
he’s the shadow president and we should start saying it loud enough that Trump becomes Shakespearean tragedy level convinced of the truth that Miller is usurping him

people really, truly do not enjoy being treated as stupid and they are treating absolutely everyone who isn’t already in on the con as the biggest marks imaginable
it’s not going to get through to everyone but it will get through to some of them

basically just keep repeating "they lied to you because they think you're stupid and you should be furious at them for it" for shit like this
a lot of folks going “of course we knew they were full of shit” and we did
but there are plenty of people out there who take their sanctimonious bullshit about gun rights at face value and it is important to shove this in their faces and go, no, they don’t mean a single word they say
