@BatDog007 @JamesTate121 Why would Trump approve? He has never hunted elk, or mixed concrete.

@JamesTate121 I love stereotypes- yours is great in its hilarity. Conservative Downs parent here - no Gofundme page but do use social services to assist her -45 great years so far. My huge diesel truck holds a pallet of concrete or 2 dead elk easily- Trump would approve.

Very well written essay on the MAGA voter. This is what we are up against. Sam is 61 years old and lives in a town where the Applebee’s closed in 2014 and people still mention it like it was a natural disaster. The old factory shut down years ago, but Sam keeps his faded employee badge in a kitchen drawer because he considers it proof that America peaked sometime around 1987, right between the release of Top Gun and the invention of low-flow toilets. He firmly believes the country began collapsing the moment they stopped letting people smoke in restaurants and started putting kale in things. He wakes up every morning at 5:12 a.m., not because he has anywhere to be, but because decades of shift work, untreated sleep apnea, and permanent low-grade outrage have hardwired his body into a permanent state of agitation. He shuffles into the kitchen wearing camouflage pajama pants and a T-shirt that says “I Stand for the Flag” even though he has not stood up quickly without groaning since 2009. He pours himself coffee strong enough to power farm equipment and settles into his recliner to begin his daily ritual of becoming personally offended by things happening hundreds or thousands of miles away. Within half an hour, he is enraged about crime in Chicago, drag queens in Seattle, wind turbines in California, and a college professor in Vermont he has never heard of and never will again. Sam spends most of his time marinating in an ecosystem of Facebook memes, talk radio, Fox News, chain emails, YouTube clips, and badly designed websites with names like Patriot Eagle Freedom Truth News. By noon, he has shared seven posts warning that America is under attack by socialists, immigrants, vegans, pronouns, electric stoves, and people who use the phrase “lived experience.” He believes every story because every story confirms what he already feels: that the country has been stolen from people like him and handed over to people he does not understand. Sam is absolutely convinced he is one of the last remaining “real Americans,” despite living in a county entirely populated by people who also think they are the last remaining real Americans. He misses the America of his youth, which in his memory was a magical place where every man had a factory job, every woman made tuna casserole, every child respected authority, and nobody had tattoos, gluten allergies, or opinions about gender. He is nostalgic for a version of the country that mostly exists as a combination of old pickup truck commercials, Toby Keith songs, and stories his grandfather exaggerated after three beers. His truck is the size of a military vehicle and has never once carried anything heavier than mulch and emotional baggage. His pickup truck is so large that small birds alter their migration patterns to avoid it. The truck has never hauled lumber, gravel, or equipment, but it does haul an enormous amount of political anxiety. The back is covered in bumper stickers warning that he is armed, angry, and deeply suspicious of the federal government, except for when it comes to Medicare, Social Security, highways, farm subsidies, police funding, veterans’ benefits, and keeping its hands off his lawn. He likes to tell people he is “not political,” which is impressive considering his entire personality has become an endless loop of cable news grievances. He cannot attend a barbecue, church picnic, football game, or grandchild’s birthday party without eventually bringing up inflation, Hunter Biden, gas stoves, “the border,” or how nobody can say Merry Christmas anymore even though literally everyone still says Merry Christmas. Then Trump arrived, descending from his golden escalator like a casino-themed prophet sent by God to sell steaks and grievance. Sam had finally found his perfect candidate: a billionaire from Manhattan with multiple mansions, gold-plated bathrooms, and a private jet, who somehow convinced Sam that he understood the pain of a man screaming at the self-checkout machine in Walmart. Trump was loud, angry, theatrical, and constantly under investigation, which only made Sam admire him more. Every lawsuit, scandal, or indictment was not evidence of wrongdoing. It was proof that Trump was fighting the deep state, the media, the elites, the globalists, the FBI, the Democrats, the RINOs, and possibly the ghost of George Soros. Every scandal, every lawsuit, every indictment, every accusation became proof that Trump was fighting the corrupt establishment on behalf of “real Americans” like Sam. At this point, Sam does not support Trump because of policy details. He supports Trump because Trump has become the human embodiment of his anger, nostalgia, confusion, and Facebook feed. Trump says the world Sam remembers can come back, that the people Sam dislikes can be punished, and that all of Sam's frustrations are someone else’s fault. To Sam, Trump is no longer just a politician. He is a lifestyle brand. He is a martyr, a warrior, a stand-up comedian, a victim, a patriot, and the lead singer of a traveling grievance festival. Sam owns at least three Trump hats, two Trump flags, a Trump coffee mug, a “Never Surrender” T-shirt, and a giant “Let’s Go Brandon” sign in the garage that he insists is “not political, just funny.” For Sam, that is not politics. That is therapy. Trump is not just a candidate anymore; he is an emotional support billionaire. He is a spray-tanned security blanket with a private jet. He is the gold-plated, fast-food-fueled mascot Sam clings to whenever the modern world feels confusing, threatening, or insufficiently patriotic. Trump gives him a ready-made explanation for every disappointment in his life: it is not aging, bad luck, economic change, or his own choices; it is the immigrants, the liberals, the media, the globalists, the vegans, the people with pronouns, and whoever is ruining Christmas this week. Supporting Trump lets Sam believe there is still someone out there fighting for him.

@DoGoodGodson @elonmusk what does someone from Ghana have to do with US politics?

@elonmusk Nobody has more to destroy the country than democrats in the last two decades! Pass the SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸 ACT NOW to keep their hands of the White House, or the country doesn’t have a future!

💯

Exactly

@elonmusk @grok well - had to have Claude do it.

@elonmusk @grok can you create a chart depicting the delta between Elon Musk's wealth vs. the average poor American with some reference to how many years 1000 poor people would have to work, saving every dollar made to match Elon's wealth?

Hey #tesla community. I know you don't pay attention! I've been electric for 11 years now --but look at gas prices.

@elonmusk Pure democracy is just asking for stupid things to be implemented. Representative democracy allows qualified individuals to mitigate mobocracy.

We don’t live in a democracy if our elected leaders fail to implement the will of the people

@elonmusk Elon, you are showing yourself to be a doorknob. Quit being bombastic and give constructive criticism.

Failing to pass SAVE is an act of high treason against the people of America

@SenFettermanPA So have Congress declare war like they should.

Every member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that. Empty sloganeering vs. commitment to global security — which is it?

@SoveyX @SoveyX states they are a mathematician - so I'm assuming the life expectancy is modified by the percent of spending on healthcare. Not clearly defined from the graph.

Obama care is working great…

@elonmusk Not really 'Federalization. Which is risky in your opinion? >Mail ballot fraud (ballot theft/collection/coercion) > In-person impersonation >Tabulation-system manipulation >Administrative capture (local officials break rules) >Federal “weaponization”/politicized enforcement

Most people have no idea that democracy would already be dead in America if not for the brave actions of Senators Sinema and Manchin

@Doubtfu1 @WhiteHouse If you really think that Trump is doing this for the working class, you are deluded.

@WhiteHouse I can't wait for the media to spin this into something its not. It's time the most powerful country on the planet get a fair shake in trade deals. It also forces companies to invest inside our borders. Instead of selling out our working class for stock prices.

@kevin_smith45 Hey- guess what, the government is paying for the food, so the producers are being paid, the grocery store is being paid, so why again is food expensive?

You ever think the reason food is so expensive Is because like 50 million people are getting it for free
