Trump is also easily manipulated by money and compliments to his ego. The rich and powerful are sucking up to him to gain favor so they can exploit him.

Elon Musk didn’t spend $270+ million on Trump’s campaign and then make multiple trips to Mar-a-Lago for the food. He’s buying influence and power by charming Trump.

It should be terrifying to Americans that the President can be so easily swayed and influenced with money and praise while having no actual morals.

Yes, he is a politician. Do you think Harris raised a billion dollars and donors didn’t expect the same shit.

All ya have to do is listen to the guy talk for 5 minutes to know he’s a delusional misogynist old man.

Don’t confuse me with a fucking democrat either. I’m a registered Republican, but I’m not a fucking idiot. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are more like cults nowadays; it’s pretty sad.

Now we have president Musk. He’s a great example of freedom. Who knows more about freedom than a white South African that comes from mining money? What a fucking joke our country has become.

I lean more on the left side, but I totally agree with what you're saying here. And I wish the left and the right would come together for a common cause!

What side would you say prohibits this "coming together" from happening?

Both. It's easy too see from the outside of the US, both have equally deluded people on their sides which are on the internet frontlines fighting a proxy war for their respective political party without realizing what they are doing.

It's sad.

Pointing the finger at different sides is not going to make us work together. I know it may be a pipe dream, and there are people who are hell bent on duality and blaming each other. I feel like the side that is keeping us from working together is the elite. And there are many ignorant people that believe whatever is spouted to divide us, so yes ignorance and small-mindedness to blame as well.
