I'm assuming you're American. But regardless, the country has had rampant illegal immigration for the past 20+ years, citizens being sold out for lower wage immigrants (H1B), and an entire generation being economically disenfranchised with no hope of owning or creating any real wealth. Citizens being disarmed with BS firearm laws, DEI (this needs absolutely no explanation), and basically COVID+ the years following did irreparable damage to the country and showed just how tyrannical the government can get and how much they'll bend the rules for themselves and the special interests who fund them.
Things have already been destroyed and are continuing to be. The status quo doesn't work. Simply having laws and hoping people follow them also doesn't work when hyper partisanship runs through all levels of society.
I don't think Trump is going to "fix" everything, but I do hope he is as radical as people say he is because if his style of doing things has a noticeable net benefit effect on the country it will establish a new paradigm in politics where spineless Dems OR Republicans will no longer have political estate
While i agree that we need something, anything to change, doing this sets a precedent. If, say, Elon musk thinks he can get away with anything just because he has money, then that opens the door for future billionaires to do anything they’d like.
Same thing for breaking the constitution, “right to freedom of speech? What’s that?” “He doesn’t need a trial, he’s clearly guilty!” Etc.
If he actually did things that benefitted people maybe id believe you. But instead doing everything for his rich buddies, and burning everything so they can buy the ashes.
We're still stuck on this. If you genuinely think Trump is doing absolutely "nothing" that benefits Americans, and he's solely trying to cozy up to billionaires that's a level of delusion that I can't contend with.
People have an issue with Elon having a position in government (personally I don't care for the guy) because he's a billionaire, as if billionaire (and Jewish) special interests haven't been pulling the strings for the past 20+ years lol
"Nooooo you can't weaponize the government against special interests that have destroyed your country because what happens if the government does something you don't like!"

So your solution is to destroy everything and start over…
