    “He says he will require local law enforcement agencies that receive Justice Department grants to use controversial policing measures such as stop-and-frisk. As a deterrent, he says local police should be empowered to shoot suspected shoplifters in the act. “Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store,” he said in one recent speech.”

    Literally just wants to turn it into a shithole country. Skipping chopping hands off and just skip to execution.

      He says he will require local law enforcement agencies that receive Justice Department grants to use controversial policing measures such as stop-and-frisk.

      So he wants to suspend/dismiss US Citizen’s 4th Amendment right (as ruled by the US Supreme Court in Terry v. Ohio).

      As a deterrent, he says local police should be empowered to shoot suspected shoplifters in the act.

      And he wants to suspend/dismiss the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments of the Constitution which is the “innocent until proven guilty” parts as well as Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution which guarantees the right of habeas corpus which is the right to a fair trial.

      When trump said he had “no duty to support the Constitution” apparently he was truly showing us who he was.

      To quote Maya Angelou:

      "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

    Under the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he says he would ramp up oil drilling on public lands and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal producers. He would roll back Biden administration efforts to encourage the adoption of electric cars and reverse proposed new pollution limits that would require at least 54% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030.

    I wonder if Elon is still a fan.

      Of course he is. It’s all about how loud and controversial the rhetoric is. It doesn’t matter what is actually being said, but rather, it’s about causing further division of the people. That allows people with the slightest bit of power to get more power without being seen.

      The rich person tax breaks he will pass (quietly, while making noise on other stuff)will ensure that it’s a net gain for Elon. EV adoption isn’t going to stop no matter what Trump does anyways. At most he can slow it down.

    Well, the only way it can be much worse is if Trump’s plans also include fediverse server raids, tariffs on fediverse usage, and mass fediverse admin arrests, which would most likely guarantee a lot more outrage here.
