Musk and then Steve Bannon on stage at CPAC:

‘"The future of America is Maga, and the future of Maga is Donald J. Trump," Bannon says.

Then he says that the group wants Trump to run again in 2028. That would be for a third term, which is currently barred by the US constitution.

Still, the crowd joins in with chants: "We want Trump!"’

Starting work on 2028 already.

So Trump wants to shake down Ukraine to the tune of $500bn.

They're also apparently in talks with Russia over an agreement on Arctic exploitation.

It's as if Trump's traumatised over all his failed businesses and he's desperately trying to overcompensate.

Maybe Trump is a genius force for good.

He’s united Canada, he’s united Europe and he’s made Zelenskyy look even more of a hero.

What a guy

I'd wait to see the results of the German and Polish elections before celebrating too hard.

It's scaring how people are openly supporting and celebrating fascists.

There's rumours they're going after social security next which might be the one thing that finally gets a decent chunk of his supporters to desert him.

67 million Americans receive social security in some form.

Steve Bannon did a Na zi salute at CPAC last night.

Tam, I’m only using it for two things. United and Palestine. No other social media platform is showing the reality of what’s happening in Palestine at the moment, stuff the news ain’t even picking up on. Like that axe attack today in Israel.

It's difficult to keep up with everything at the moment. So in the last 24 hours:

● They appointed Kash Patel as FBI Director on a 10 year term. He then gave an interview where he called for "offensive operations" to jail Americans they consider the enemy. "Yes, we're going to be coming after people in the media...we're putting you on notice". This included judges and other people in government.
● Space Karen (Elon) says that Biden abandoned the astronauts trapped on the ISS. The commander of ISS tweets to say that is nonsense, so Musk goes on a tirade where he called the commander 're tarded' and called for ISS to be defunded and deorbited.
● At CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Conference), they call for project third term and are now openly calling to go against the constitution.
● Later at CPAC, Elon Musk comes on stage with a chainsaw to symbolise his cutting of federal budgets.
● Steve Bannon then comes on stage and does a Na zi salute.
● It's announced that they will be cutting back social security, which will impact 69 million Americans.
● Trump and his press secretary then call Canada the 51st state prior to the ice hockey match between the two nations and invite 'Governor Trudeau' to watch it with him. Trump the calls the US team as he can't attend. Canada win the game and there is a symbolic moment where they play the Canadian national anthem in Boston, whilst the Canadian players stand arms round each other singing at the Canadian flag.

That's just off the top of my head. There is probably more

A new era of fascism will be ushered in because the people who claim to be against it don't want to be inconvenienced.

I missed something else. He is rumoured to be taking over the US Postal Service. Which will mean he can control mail in votes.

That’s an unfair thing to say. I could just as easily say a new era of fascism will be ushered in because people run away from the world’s biggest political social media site and don’t want to help clean it up.

Either claim is just as spurious as the other but it’s really not about convenience.

You could say that and are free to do so. It's a stupid thing to suggest though.

Not any more stupid than saying those who use Twitter are ushering in fascism.

Twitter is literally owned by one of its biggest supporters. The algorithms are being changed to support their misinformation. You are monetising the website everytime you share a link.

This is indirectly supporting one of their key mechanisms. Thinking you are somehow going to change it from the inside is like a woman who has been beaten multiple times by her partner thinking she can change him.

No one should be using X anymore. It's indefensible.

Where does that kind of thinking end? Do you recycle every single item of plastic you use? If not you’re helping to kill sea turtles in the ocean. Do you use a smartphone? The lithium in the battery was mined by a child slave. Are all the clothes you wear ethically made? Etc etc

Nothing in life is perfect and occasionally we have to be ‘hypocrites’. Twitter was something myself and Arab and many other decent people used for many many years. We don’t have to leave it just because it was bought by someone who’s running it at a loss now.

Apologies if you’re so perfect you don’t ever do something that someone could point out your hypocrisy on. Twitter is the best news source on the planet if you control its algorithm which believe it or not, you still can.

Exactly. You're using it because you don't want to be inconvenienced. You don't care about the wider impact that has.

You may not like it, but I have minimal respect for your position on this.
