American kleptocracy
$2.37 billion in fines and penalties is what Elon Musk companies faced as of Election Day.Today that number is zero.Inspector Generals investigating Musk were fired. Departments investigating Musk have been emasculated or closed by DOGE. This is what Musk’s $288 million to Trump bought. #ProudBlue

i am currently reading jacob heilbrunn’s great book on the American right’s love affair with foreign dictators, and one thing that is very apparent is that these people have always celebrated racism. no backlash required.
