Inode, Trump must be one, too, right? Given how he and Musk are OK with "normalizing Indian hate," it sure seems like it: Musk to rehire Doge aide who resigned over racist posts (BBC) Tenchusatsu

Lane3 gave an absolutely brilliant answer to your question. The American people thanks to years of laziness and mediocrity have gotten used to something they were never entitled to. That entitlement is now bankrupting the country. The sooner this entitlement is yanked back the sooner everyone can adjust to realistic expectations.

No more welfare-queens and no more tame-capitalists.

Government provides military and a basic level of healthcare and that is where it draws the line. Lane’s post should be framed, hats off to bentway for starting the thread that now has 320,150 posts and Lane3’s 56,152 posts. Something really incredible finally happened, a true Eureka moment right here on SI.

What do you think the American public "fears" from its government today? Or that it SHOULD fear? Immediately, chaos. Instability. Having the rug cavalierly pulled out in critical ways. It used to be that when big changes were made by the government they were phased in if not grandfathered. You could make life plans knowing that the infrastructure was stable. Right now you could be, for example, in the middle of a drug trial and be suddenly cut off. You sold your house an bought another and the job disappears. You're half way through some education program and the industry or the job doesn't exist anymore. Contracts are invalidated on a dime. Previously the worst rug pulling was manufacturing moving to China, which took decades. If you were paying attention you had time to shift into a new line of work. Specialists at mid career could hold out long enough to retire while younger people could choose to get into a different line of work. Now that time line is compressed to as little as days or even hours. The government's word is no longer good. Longer term, longer post...

This describes Biden and the dems and what Rat and fellow Marxist koan are always advocating. “It is a grave error to suppose that a dictatorship rules a nation by means of strict, rigid laws which are obeyed and enforced with rigorous, military precision. Such a rule would be evil, but almost bearable; men could endure the harshest edicts, provided these edicts were known, specific and stable; it is not the known that breaks men’s spirits, but the unpredictable. A dictatorship has to be capricious; it has to rule by means of the unexpected, the incomprehensible, the wantonly irrational; it has to deal not in death, but in sudden death; a state of chronic uncertainty is what men are psychologically unable to bear.” Ayn Rand
