Democrats should spend less time trying to suck up to Elon Musk and more time preparing their responses to these lies, absurdities, outlandishness, and shamelessness.

"There's that capitalist meritocracy mythology at work.

This quietly self-defeating ideology is championed by many who have been failed by both of our major parties, and those concerns have been particularly exploited and manipulated by Republicans who have traumatized them into believing that liberalism, and not capitalism, is the source of their ills; that liberalism is why they work and work but never even break even, much less get ahead.

Lest there be any confusion:

I am a capitalist, because entrepreneurship and innovation best advance in free markets. I have to acknowledge that I believed many of these myths and felt that my own misaligned rage, which seems to be even more acutely experienced today by MAGA devotees, was justified; I see now that this was rooted in ignorance."

.

A good read by a recovery MAGA-ite.

Donald's economic insanities stem from the fact that, for all of his life-and no matter what he did or how he failed at it-he's lived in luxury.

Now he intends to stomp all over, say, VISITOR's life. And guess what? He will still live in luxury.

It doesn't matter what it is, it all works for him.
