Democratic lawmakers are outraged at Elon Musk's takeover of federal agencies, calling it the beginning of a dictatorship. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez demands action to stop Musk's power grab and urges Democrats to block Trump's nominees.
The liberal media has a shared mission to discredit Luigi Mangione and they failed horribly. Most people don’t get their news directly from corporate sources, they get it from social media. The Tea Party didn’t kick out those well funded and well connected establishment Republicans because they had money and support (the incumbents had that too). Those things make it easier, but learned helplessness about the power of the rich and connected to control any movement or message accomplishes nothing. In the end it’s all about people.
There are things that break through, but it’s naive to ignore the difference funding from billionaires and the media apparatus has on ‘grass roots’ movements.
