Final stages? I think you might be surprised how much worse things can/will get.

Oh they will. They're both raging narcissists. Neither Trump or Elon gives two shits about corporate interests or anything else but their own comfort and ego, and they cant share a spotlight for long. I cannot wait for Trump to try to revoke Elons citizenship and have him deported.
It would have been too practical. Now Biden is a lame duck and were past the point of no return. Its the perfect time to publicly stake out a fanciful position.
Thats the hope. Trump gets side tracked chasing the news cycle and golfing while his incompetent lackeys smear shit on the walls. A couple years later he chokes on a hamberder, Vance pushes through some last minute tax breaks to pay off his backers and leaves office in 2028.
Everyone thinks their populist is the real deal and the others are frauds, but at the day populism is not about good policy, it's about making a show of putting up a fight. There have been many populists in political history and only a very small percentage have been materially helpful to their constituents.
If half the population is actually susceptible to brainwashing over Facebook then democracy itself is unworkable. These people clearly have preferences and are making choices, including the choice to know very little about what they vote for. Im afraid that patience and compassion will only encourage this behavior.
The thing AOC, Bernie and Trump do have in common is that they are all populists. That they would also have accepted AOC or Bernie means that they dont necessarily want a demagogue, but its also not a deal breaker for them.
We need to stop with the brainwashing talk. A few people on the fringe were clearly mentally ill, but the rest of them had agency and they made a choice.
I am curious what the goal is. The first is pretty, but stills are notoriously easy to replace and bulk grain alcohol is cheap. Are they producing something other than vodka here?
That would actually explain some things
Anakin was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

This is just a frivolous lawsuit. Its unusual for a president elect to file one, but its nothing unprecedented. When the first reporters start falling out of windows, that will be the beginning of the end.
