    Let me get this straight

    The people who said they wanted government to NOT be in our business...

    Voted for people who are doing nothing BUT being in our business.

    If you answer this in defense of your vote to a bigoted, racist person (Trump), your opinion is wrong. You are to blame for all this and everything you say is full of shit.

    The Musk employee he wants to have access to every person, business and organization tax return is a white supremacist who has retweeted Hitler admitlrer Nick Fuentes.

    Did you vote for this?

    No and it literally doesn’t matter whether I did or not because we never were protected from this and nobody is going to save us.

    I can't see any reason he should have access to that information.

    How does access to taxpayer records help root out government inefficiency?

    The skeptic realist in me says it’s so he can see who has donated to what. Run it through an AI and bam.

    So, just for arguments sake, what I'm hearing you say is that if it was Kamala Harris (or really, any democrat) they would have done this same exact thing?

    Or that any other republican who ran was going to do this same exact thing?

    What i heard you say is that this was unavoidable, meaning no matter who was voted in, that what is happening right now was going to happen under anybodys watch?

    I'm just trying to make sure I understand it. Because the way you worded it was fucking stupid and you acting like we are fucking stupid.

    I didn't vote for Trump. I'm already smart. So if that's what you meant than woah boy.

    No you bowling shoe I am not arguing that. I’m saying it’s fucking useless to gloat about voting for the correct person now. I’m fucking sick of the rhetoric out of the center left “oh are the leopards eating your face?? Must be tough lol lmao” fuck the fuck off with that horse shit. That shit never worked. Those gotchas don’t do FUCKING SHIT. Jesus fucking Christ we are going to die, and laughing at the bastards who demanded we have Dipshit A and Dipshit B fly the plane ISNT HELPING! FUCK!!! Every morning I go on social media and HOPE TO GOD nobody I know committed suicide last night. I tried to fucking detrans my gender legally and they rejected the paperwork. They’re seizing passports of trans people. They’re putting people in concentration camps because they aren’t white. This is serious, and leopards are my face jokes ate extremely unserious.

    I know it wasn't directed at me, but I took it to mean anybody we elected COULD have done this and almost certainly nobody else would have instituted protections to prevent the possibility of this.

    It was almost certainly going to happen eventually if we didn't make serious changes. And as much as I wanted and advocated for those changes I can't honestly say I saw any movement toward a mechanism to make changes which would prevent this eventuality.

    That's not to say I was for "burning it down" as we're seeing now. I wanted (and voted) to avoid this at all costs.

    Wait people said that? How did people get so dumb?

    My bad, I just needed to make sure I heard you correctly, which I didn't.

    Power on, my friend. Ignore the people who don't have your best interests at heart.

    The way our current political system is yes I can agree with that.

    Why we had to ride in a high speed train towards it I'll never know. But the people who voted for Trump ARE to blame, that's a fact.

    In high school, I stole a pair of bowl shoes.

    Well, I didn't really steal them, I just kept them and let them keep mine. So it was kind of like a trade.
