The timing here is what makes this move particularly baffling...

It's only baffling if you cling to the ever-more-laughable belief that the Democrats are any sort of meaningful opposition.

If you instead simply shift to the ever-more-supported belief that they are in fact essentially oligarchic co-conspirators, then the timing makes perfect sense.

And all because Columbia backed out of a $400 million real estate deal with Trump decades ago, and Trump is profoundly mentally ill.

That whole family is just rich white trash, aren't they?

And the bidding will start at $1 billion. Do I hear 1.1 Billion?

Trump isn't into much of anything other than feeding his ego, his greed and his lust. That's another aspect of his fundamental childishness - his desires and motivations are very simple and sybaritic.

However, he's surrounded by people who are stroking hisxegovand whispering in his ear and trying to get him to focus his wandering attention on things they want, and some of them certainly are very much into eugenics. That is in fact an obvious and deliberate implication of replacement theory and pro-natalism - people like Musk see reproduction as a contest between races, and one that they're afraid they're going to lose and are determined to win, by whatever means might serve.

I suspect more strongly all the time that not just a likely consequence but an explicit goal of the coming autocracy is to kill a large number of people.

It's essentially passive eugenics. The idea is to make life as difficult as possible for everyone but the wealthiest few, and again, not just as a consequence of shallow self-interest but deliberately, so that as many people as possible die, and with the idea that the deaths will be most concentrated among the most disadvantaged.

Part of the idea then behind MAGA's obsession with identity politics is to try to arrange things so that groups they don't like are overrepresented among the disadvantaged who will die.

That's also a lot of the reason then behind Musk's creepy pro-natalism - they're trying to get a head start on breeding white fascist replacements for all of the undesirables they intend to kill.

stop pretending that voters base their entire fucking vote on the identity of the candidate as an excuse to run dogshit neoliberal campaigns.

Preach.

Fat lot of good it'll likely do, but still.

Yes.

If you qualify, they'll contact you.

Anybody who wants to ethnically cleanse brown people in order to steal their land is Trump's kind of person.

Huh... I didn't expect Graham to regurgitate a position opposing Trump and Russia.

Somebody must've outbid the oligarchs....

To paraphrase the Narcissist's Prayer, he's currently moving from "That won't happen" to "And if it does, it won't be that bad" and on to "And if it is, that's not a big deal."

So expect "And if it is, that's not my fault" in the not terribly distant future.

And so on, and so on...
