I am in a constant state of rage and dread. [View all]

I can’t prove it, but I believe it.

Musk stole this election when votes were uploaded via satellite to tabulate. He couldn’t deliver Virginia for Trump because of the way we vote, but states with no random audits and paper ballots (Virginia has both) were free for the taking.

I think Musk’s son is on the autism spectrum and/or is echolailic (repeats what he hears) and said “We’re in SpaceX and we quietly do just whatever we want.”

In early November, the kid said “they’ll never know” twice when a former Fox News host asked whether Donald Trump would win the election. And of course when he recently said, “You’re not the president.”

The kid is Musk’s human shield.

Putin helped with disinformation and bomb threats.

Social media, especially Facebook, was and still is releasing a flood of rightwing garbage - the more you hide and block, the more you get. The algorithm isn’t working the way you think it should.

States helped by voter suppression.

Trump is stuck. He’s an idiot but he can’t stop Musk even if he wants to because Musk holds the cards and the proof. I think Trump has dementia.

Republicans in Congress are paralyzed and scared shitless. They’re afraid of his followers and terrified for their lives and the lives of their families.

Trump was talking to Putin while not in office - I thought you weren’t allowed to do this.

HOW DID OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES MISS THIS?

HOW DID OUR ALLIES MISS THIS?

Our allies will never trust us again.

As you can see, I’m becoming unhinged. I felt so good after seeing the protests, but I wish I saw a way out of this.
