I don’t trust the “benevolent superhero” trope because realistically, you may get some Batmen, you’d get twice as many Banes and then a statistically small but present number of Jokers. That’s not even accounting for a Freeze style situation where someone is committing crimes to fund a relatively justifiable cause and your Ivy’s who are doing a net positive for the world but the methods are technically illegal.

Replace him with Jeb! or Ron DeSantis or your garden variety Republican and you’d get the same defunding, same deregulation and same enshittification as him, just more subtle.
Come back when he’s killed a million Iraqi civilians over fictional WMDs or getting several million people addicted then dead over opioids by deregulating prescription.
He didn’t commit war crimes in Vietnam, spill over to Laos and Cambodia. Come back when he pardons the perpetrators of My Lai. Come back when he interns Japanese and nukes civilians. Come back when he Manifests Destiny.

CloutAtlas [he/him]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Oh to be a slimmy shitstain, what a good life I'd haveEnglish1·6 months agoOfficial ActBlue communication:
Re: Where did all of our money go?
We have reports that a man that looks identical to this:
except wearing a pair of Groucho Marx glasses known only as “Rachel Jake” walked into the ActBlue headquarters shortly after Joe R Biden formally stepped out of the running for the 2024 election.
“Rachel” was immediately given a top level job with maximum security clearance because he claimed to be an apolitical undecided voter and could speak on behalf of all undecided voters. The man seemed extremely surprised when given a keycard with access to the vault where we keep all of the Democratic Party’s donations in cash as well as a press conference with other heads of ActBlue about the Kamala 2024 campaign. However, when asked “Ok then, what should Kamala’s campaign be about?”, he paused for several moments before exclaiming “Oh, uhh I dunno, ask Liz, she normally has a plan for these things, I didn’t think I’d get this far”. When pressed about which “Liz” he was referring to, “Rachel” hesitated for a few more moments before replying “Uhh… Liz… Cheney… Yes. That Liz. Liz Cheney. We should refocus all our efforts into getting Liz Cheney’s endorsement”.
The man was later seen quickly exiting the ActBlue headquarters loading up overflowing duffel bags of cash into the back of an unmarked white van. When approached and questioned about his identity, the driver of the van only identified himself as “Uhh… Old… Chomsky”
Neither men nor the money was ever seen again.
So for those reasons, we are asking you to donate now to ActBlue to save democracy again.

Now he’s going to “”“make the government more efficient”“” aka defunding basically everything, hastening the collapse of the US Empire.
He’s going to defund NASA for more SpaceX contracts and it’ll be Columbia times 100 and kill 10,000,000 Americans by defunding the EPA and getting rid of the “woke” FDA. He still has a grudge against the CDC for closing his Tesla factories during 2020, and by God he’s going to dissolve the CDC so the US is even less prepared for whatever mutated H5N1 variant that’s going to come out of a US factory farm next year.
The tumour of American culture has become malignant but the Americans worship him like an antibody. And the Americans will have deserved it.
