Ugh, the “I am very rational” sludgy veneer of “Balance of Power” makes me gag, on top of everything else that sucks about this. A blazing apotheosis of “Enlightened Centrists” smugly fast-tracking fascism in a “logically bulletproof” suppository.

I am tired of this timeline.

Can we get a retcon where the FBI did not interfere in the 2016 election, and perhaps even stopped the Russians from interfering?

Knowing I am asking for a lot, I would also not mind a retcon where the conservative party had not lost its mind. I fear that would require a retcon of Nixon’s Southern Strategy, and a retcon of the reaction to Roe v. Wade, which may be too much to ask of a retcon.

…shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties…

I suppose this canard might work on a small subset of “independents” who’ve had their heads deeply rooted in the sand for the last 20 years; but EVERYONE else knows this results in nothing getting done.

And I don’t believe this is the result of idealism from Musk — he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, and what he’s setting the US up for.

Scratch any self-described Libertarian in America and you’ll find a Republican underneath.

Does “shared power” mean proposing impeachment hearings when you haven’t even said what you’re impeaching the president for yet?

Politics is supposed to be about managing the needs of the population. “Revenge” is not really good for that.

Too bad Republicans are like Sauron in this regard.

I have seen the government needs to be changed regularly bit before, always when a less-right-wing party is in charge, then conveniently forgotten for however long the more-right-wing party is in power.

I really hope everybody who isn’t already in on the alt-right bullshit knows not to listen to this pathetic bigot, and it helps inspire more action again him. Fingers crossed.
