Summary
Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk as a “welfare queen,” accusing him of profiting from billions in government subsidies while advocating for H-1B visas, which she claims take jobs from Americans.
Loomer’s remarks highlight a rift within MAGA supporters over Musk’s influence and Trump’s alignment with him despite prior anti-immigration promises.
Steve Bannon escalated the attack, demanding “reparations” for jobs lost to foreign workers hired by tech giants like Musk.
Musk, whose companies received over $25 billion in subsidies and contracts, defended his stance on immigration and insulted American workers.
With as much as it’s happening and as little that comes of it, you ever think all these “in-fights” are just a big distraction or straight-up entertainment that the Republicans put on? Scripted, fake, like Professional Wrestling. The equivalent of turning on cartoons while the parents are “busy”.
They’re far too dumb to orchestrate this kind of theatre. What we are witnessing here is their… shall we say, natural talent.
No. They have no whatsoever effect. Most Trump voters have no idea this is going on as they’ve already tuned out. Casuals don’t follow politics.
Of course it is. Trump is a big WWE fan. So much that he put lady McWWE in for a new position.
This is exactly what is going on. If you read a headline that’s an opinion, or has may, could, slammed or hit in the title, ignore it. It’s a distraction. Trump finding the shittiest most obnoxious sounding people to lead his cabinet is also part of that strategy. He usually fires them anyway. What his former POS staff has done or said are also distractions.
I was told an old saying when I was very young that I didn’t truly understand until trump came along. I was sad because someone was saying bad things.:
Might be a distraction.
Might not be.
Either way, as long as they’re infighting, they’re not actually governing. even if it is just “infighting” and not actual infighting.
So let them fight.
The theatrics might be a bit too big of a conspiracy. I think its real. Two party system means big tent politics, most of which will be at odds.
Nah. Authoritarians always pull this shit until the cream rises to the top. Fortunately, Trump is the top. Imagine having to kow-tow to that moron and get anything done!
I can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head, but there’s a special term for conspiratorial thinking based on the belief that leaders really can’t be this incompetent and that the thought of a shadowy organization pulling the strings actually makes some people feel better.
Because reality is way fucking scarier.
These are the people running our country and they’re almost exclusively all idiots.

It’s real. Just because tech bros and magats align sometimes there is still a discrepancy between the two. At the end of the day, the Maga tech bros are just higher up the ladder from the general Maga folks. In other words: there’s always bigger fish.
