Carole Cadwalladr offers the story of election violence foretold as she asks whether Elon Musk's role in the far right riots in England was a trial run for what he will do in the US presidential election?
My American friends: forewarned is forearmed - please, if you are not already thinking about this, take Cadwalladr's warning seriously (very seriously!).
With your levels of gun ownership Musk's influence will almost surely be fatal!
Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America
The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is over-rated?Carole Cadwalladr (The Guardian)
As a hobby, I paste Ronald Reagan's head, along with an arrow pointing to the date of his inauguration, on graphs that show how his policies led to the obscene level of income inequality we have today.

A timeline of American Vice Presidents. Until the red square, she would have been a slave. Until the blue square she would have gone to segregated schools (if at all). Up to the yellow square she was not allowed to vote. It wasn't until the green square she could have her own bank account. Now she is Vice President, and on November 5th she will be elected President of the United States. #KamalaHarris #election2024 #USpol
Trump just announced a “crime and safety” rally for next Tuesday in Howell, Michigan, a town that has been heavily associated with the KKK for decades. Indeed, just late last month White Supremacists marched in the town chanting “We love Hitler. We love Trump.”

Rs are trying to transplant to the nat. level what they're doing in red states: Impose authoritarian measures *biggest advantage for Dems. Americans see, in red states, what GOP rule means: rolling back fund. rights, installing vindictive reactionary regimes.
Walz reps the positive counter to that. “Here’s what a fairer, more egalitarian pluralistic America looks like”-not just in theory, but in actual leg., & based on narrow majorities.
