They don't get to say shit, as they were directly involved with electing this shitstain.

Yes, we know. But if the established, non-broligarch folks realize that they won't be in the winning end after it's all done, they might do something about it. Not until all the brown people are exported and the government is drowned in the bathtub, though. Those were the WSJ's priorities all along. if they get upset, it will only be because Elon jumped the line in front of them for the cash.

I agree, but the guy literally said this was what he was going to do, and they were all for it then.

We can parade around and yell "we told you so" or we can welcome anyone who wants to add to the resistance. It's up to us. That said, I don't know if WSJ will ever be of any meaningful value to the resistance.

I'm sorry, might be jaded but what you're saying about welcoming anyone who wants to add to resistance was how I was in 2020.

And I watched the same idiots where were complaining about his policies in 2019 go vote for him again this time.

They'll be mad to get people to accept them right up until the choices come back then goosestep in party line again. Fuck em.

The WSJ is my enemy's not-quite-friend.

Murdoch's no more on my side that Trump is.

I doubt the orange guy wants to drown the government in a bathtub. In fact, that's the place that gives him his power as of now.

As always, the elites think they can control a stupid man, but the stupid man does whatever he wants anyway.
