The chances that a real Elon party signifigantly stealing votes from the Republicans to the point it causes an actual vote split is basically nil. The voter base is stupid, but not so stupid to hand a brand new party anything out of the gate.
Now, controlled opposition, is a foundation of the farce that is Russian democracy, and both DT and Elon are staunch admirers of Putin's system where its a mob masquerading as a government with total control
being good guys isnt the point
owning libs is the point. and they are bigly owned right now,
Groupthink is a real thing
and its evolved over the last few decades.
some people watch movies or play games, and come to the conclusion that the Fascists, Eugenicists, and Sociopaths like the Galactic Empire, The Death Eaters and the guys in Stalhems were actually cool..
Nepo baby Sociopath?
these aren't secretaries and ministers of organized government
it's capos and yes men of organized crime.
Russia
Except they're only interested in supporting factions that keep perpetually causing chaos.
Russia can't fight a war to save its life. So it needs opponents like America incapacitated and out of their imperialist affairs in Europe and Asia
It doesn't.
When you've got control of the armed services of the government. And you tell the opposition "we've got the guns. Fuck are you going to do about it". Law becomes paper. And the only thing left is the law of the jungle. In other words. War
The foreign wars arent the point. The foreign wars are a means to an end
The end. Is being able to isolate one's self from the rest of the world. Enjoy perpetual dictatorial rule through martial law. And rule your corner of the world like an absolute monarchy. The other parts of the world can deal with their own regional warlords like Russia and China
The foreign wars. Like starting a war with Iran. Are likely going to be used as a vehicle to declare martial law in the USA. And once that happens. Trump is never going away until death takes him
SCOTUS "we've decided that the POTUS cannot be sued for official acts"
an important caveat about what happened with Russia, an enormous amount of their military was only on paper, because it had either been lied about, or stuff was stolen, from various positions on the pecking order.
It should also be noted that after a shitshow of year 1 and being unable to fight a combined arms mechanized war, they switched back to the brute force and massive casualty strategy, and for all intents and purposes, It worked, all Ukraine can do is try to hold territory and kill soldiers, but realistically due to Western cowardice and ratfuckery, the door closed a long time ago on Ukraine being able to dislodge Russia from its stolen territory.
