How is anyone permitting any of these people to have authority?
Because we're all just people and at the end of the day some person is agreeing to not dispense the funds or not provide aid or to round up individuals ... Until there is meaningful pushback by people who actually are carrying this bullshit out it won't change.
Idk same as how the Nazis managed the Holocaust, at the end of the day thousands of individuals agreed and did their part to exterminate the Jews. Same as how Israel now is committing an ongoing genocide in Gaza with their military and all those individuals are carrying out their orders.
Authority, like many other things in our society, is an emphemeral concept we all agree to. Authority is given when we agree to abide by what that authority says. Same like our laws, sure we have laws against things but it's not like those actually mean anything if they're not obeyed by the majority. Nothing stopping you from doming Elon with the a large brick if you got one and can get close enough, you know what I mean?
Because yall wanted this by voting for it
I think many didn’t want this because we voted against it
Agreed but not enough.
MOST people were perfectly happy with voting for Trump, or not voting at all.
If you didn’t vote this election then you are the problem.
Yeah, we know, pointing fingers isn't going to help anything right now. Get out and take action.
Be more specific.
Trump's government is basically pay-to-play and Elon paid the most so he gets to do whatever he wants.
It started with a paid horse armor and he we are.
