Exactly. All of this was stated in advance, in Project 2025 and in tech bro interviews about how much democracy sucks. These people are not subtle, smart, or original; however, they are completely amoral sociopaths who think they can destroy the US and own/control what’s left. I don’t think it’s going to work out as well for them as they think, but in the short and medium term Elon and his shitheels will do a lot of damage, and cause a lot of pain and death.

Oh, I am certain they are trying to destroy things on purpose, but I also think they are terrible at it. For example, watch the scramble as they try to rehire those safe guarding the nuclear arsenal[1]. It's a mess and someone competent could be doing it far better. I don't know if that's a small mercy or not.
