I now think there’s a good possibility that Trump gets sick of Elon Musk and tries to assign him an insulting nickname and put him on the outs.
How many times have you seen two dysfunctional megalomaniacs share power and have it go well? Especially when the one with more nominal power is also stupid and thin-skinned?
Maybe this is all cope and we’ll be in camps for leftists starting in April, of course.
Would it surprise anyone if the next coup were to come from a maverick feudal lord?
Caesar may have consolidated purple, but he ultimately only cracked the floodgates open to end the Republican era of Rome. Those that followed his path were the true first citizens of power. A citizen of humanity’s first continent for first citizen, indeed.
Consolidating purple was a laudable goal in and of itself, though.
It destroyed a democracy and lead to terrible civil war and eventually feudalism where most of the population were serfs – aka slaves in all but name. He was a products of his time, but played a large role in a terrible fulcrum in western history.
Guess we would have been better if he just wore purple instead of consolidating it.
