      Why would that be hard to imagine?

      Their brains literally aren’t fully formed yet. And the prefeontal cortex is the last to develop.

      Younger people will always trend towards “anti establishment” because of it, which makes a political landscape incredibly dangerous when the only two options only care about the wealthy.

      The best way to prevent fascism is a pro worker socially progressive party.

      Neoliberals stole that from us, then made America play Russian roulette 3x in a row with trump as the gun, and we lost twice.

        You should still have a decent idea of right from wrong.

        I wasn’t a perfect adult at that age but I wouldn’t have worked unelected for a billionaire to dismantle a government.

          Humans are not innately good, we need socialized like any animal.

          Lots of people don’t understand that, and it has terrible consequences

      DEI, all of them. They look like being assigned male at birth, but have obviously all transitioned into massive cunts.

    Some opportunistic idiots who seemingly don’t have anything to lose and can be ditched by Elon as scapegoats if the need arises. I almost sure he groomed them with the myth of him being self-made billionaire and provided them a fabulous opportunity to join him. I’m almost sure they aren’t kids anymore, but also that they don’t know how to crime and that they need a plan B. In the musical chairs game they are likely to fall on their asses once the music stops.

    And one who does is trying to cash in on his new job by charging people to read his Substack entry which boast, “Why DOGE: Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.”

    LOL

      Yeah maybe if he sums up all of his pre-tax total comp for each year he worked there, he might barely reach a seven figure number lmao

    “You have committed a crime.”

    Dangerous words. The kind of words that could get a man killed.

    I really look forward to all 6 behind bars in a few years. I wonder if they know the level of treason they are committing?

      They aren’t kids. They’re adults that have made their decision and must deal with the blowback from the public.

        “adult” is just a word. 19 year olds are… barely adult, by my definition. I started feeling more like an adult around 30, if I’m honest. That’s when my brain was like, alright, maybe I’m responsible, confident, and settled enough to have kids of my own. To take real responsibility.
