@judgedread He was, quite literally, the best national candidate the GOP establishment could come up with

This is in no way a compliment :SadisticNagatoro:
The mirage of the SSTO spaceplane. Article: https://jordanwtaylor2.substack.com/p/stand-aside-musk-the-buck-rogers

"This week we saw yet another tumultuous re-launch of Elon Musk’s big Martian dream. A launch of the largest rocket in the world which led us to a small amount of iteration and a large amount of explosion. Try, try again."

"But let’s take this opportunity for a voyage of the imagination into a different vision of the future, that was birthed in the 1970s and took its first faltering, titan baby-steps in the form of the Space Shuttle, which orbited the planet as a statement of American technological supremacy from the early 80s onwards."

My basic argument is the old conservative / free market one that the copier and the fax machine killed communism, only applied to theocracy. Theocracy can't exist when the means of heresy are cheap and ubiquitous.
Totalizing ideologues and religious fanatics can no longer eradicate the opposition forever by burning a few libraries full of hand copied manuscripts.

There will be no return to one universal religion with 99% compliance in Europe or its colonies.
It's hard to think of more fanatical movements than National Socialism and Soviet Communism, but both stopped short of demanding complete unity of belief. The National Socialists for the duration and the communists after a short period of anti-religious fervor.
@EvilSandmich Gorbachev himself believed Chernobyl killed communism. Such a ghastly and undeniable failure could not be contained either physically or ideologically. It had nothing to do with jews, the radiation cloud was detected across Europe then satellite images revealed the open core.

The extreme totalitarian right is not taken seriously by people like Elon Musk because it's retarded. Men of the world understand that without a degree of freedom the whole system grinds to a halt.
Ideas are very difficult to control, immigration, on the other hand, is trivially easy to prevent. Just shoot illegal immigrants on sight. They will stop coming.
"That's right. We're going to woo them back by sitting on them. They will beg to vote for us before the end."
Even I didn't think Trump had a chance until October 7.
