Ooooh that must've struck a nerve. Seems we can't post that here without massive loss of reputation. Progressivism != liberalism. That stuff just doesn't fare well, even as sarcasm.

Dude is giving what many have wanted for years, the largest of which is a massive reduction in US hegemony. Restarted militarization of Europe, accelerated the expansion of China into Africa. Causing Five Eyes to curtail the flow of intel.

But at the same time, utterly burning US soft power with the shuttering of USAID and most likely causing 14M excess child deaths world wide. Shutting down USAID was a bigger "mistake" than the invasion of Iraq and the blowback will be even larger.

Bro just drove the US empire off a cliff. Manufacturing will have to come back if they succeed in burning US currency. Good thing the rich have so much of it, Elon at 1/10th is still 40-70B.

He is neither progressive nor liberal. It’s not sarcasm, it’s bullshit.

In the process of burning down democracy, Trump has brought about changes that progressives have wanted for decades, namely a vast reduction in US hegemony. He has also caused massive suffering, inflation and will lead to the deaths of millions of people.
