Oh, I'm not worried, any day now the democrats will miraculously put guys like musk in their place. Despite being on the losing end of every political skirmish for the last 50 years and their incessant need to cozy up to oligarchs like him.

Nothing to worry about here because we're going to "resist" and "fight" by giving all our political goodwill to a party that will turn it into nothing by losing to 21st century fascists.

What's that, dems still hold the reins of power? Great news right! They will implement protections and codify norms, in these final moments, to put safeguards in place against a fascist take over. I mean they could of done it when they slightly held all three branches but they were super busy with other stuff. They can do it now, for sure right?
