Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:

....part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause 'hardship'... And they're more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.

They're going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

Do they not know that Americans choose their politicians based on egg prices? They will be fucked in the midterms if they go through with this assuming they don’t rig it too hard

Given that there are 20 million votes unaccounted for, and we suspiciously had high voter turnout yet low amounts of people actually voting. Something's not right.

Please, let’s not be republicans and start conspiracy theories. The 2020 election was totally unique because of Covid. It’s better to compare turnout to a non-Covid year like 2016, which is has similar democratic vote numbers to 2016
