“because Elon...was promised a Government Efficiency Commission job to oversee the federal departments that regulate and hold contracts with his businesses.”

I’m in the same boat as you.

They will just double down, somehow still manage to blame “the radical left”, and their followers will just eat it up.  :-/

now realize that they’re going to own the blame for whatever harm they do

yeah I can see Pentagon, Wash. Monument, and Capitol dome all from my balcony, so it is small consolation that if stuff goes down, it will be over for me very quick.

I’m in my early 50's. This is how it will be for the rest of my life.

...4 years? The negative consequences of his 2nd term will likely last for a generation or more. Americans voted for a dictator, and that’s what we will get.

well judging from Tesla’s stock price today, it is going well for Elon. Hell it’s a huge win for Elon and their stans

I have to say I’m more disappointed than shocked. I couldn’t even watch the results last night as I thought there was a good chance this was coming. My only hope is that enough of the MAGA politicians now realize that they’re going to own the blame for whatever harm they do and show some little bit of common sense and…

Trump rarely knows what the fuck he’s talking about, never mind actually understanding the ramifications of what he’s saying. I’d say it’s a toss up for Elon. He has enough money to (personally) weather most things, the actual health of his companies be damned, but there’s no guarantee Trump will be a boon for him.…

Yeah, speaking as a homeowner who weathered the last bubble, this is not the boon you hope it will be. Your buying power, and your ability to secure financing, will likely both decrease. I lost a third of my equity over night in 2008, but nobody was clamoring to buy my place, because they couldn’t. A more rational…

I hear folks say similar things here in Canada, that if the housing bubble popped that they’d finally be able to afford a home...

I live close enough to DC that I’ll go quickly in the first counterstrike.

I mean I admit I’m an average or even below average in term of intelligence but the more I grow up, the more I realize that common sense is not common at all

The badges being gone makes me think it’s been recently resprayed. Maybe an accident? Roof almost looks like they drove into their garage door before it was all the way up?

I can believe it. I tried to be hopeful but I wouldn’t be optimistic about the masses having common sense.

Trumpster might start WWIII with all those nukes he’s been itching to drop, you might not have to suffer the whole 4 years.  I live close enough to DC that I’ll go quickly in the first counterstrike.

I honestly expected this. I’m a little sad about the situation and have been talking to some of my trans friends about their worried as they’re more than likely going to have legislation passed that will restrict their rights. I’ve also talked with of my female cousins and one of my best friends about their abortion…

More like 50 once he replaces Thomas & Alito.

You are assuming that the housing market drops but your wealth and spending power isn’t similarly eroded?
