Donald Trump once told voters he was fighting a corrupt political system. With Elon Musk operating with impunity throughout the federal government, Trump has taken political corruption to new and unprecedented lengths.

This whole situation shows it was never about “draining the swamp” for his voters. It was about hurting people they don’t like and getting to be a racist bigot in public.
- The swamp was always a racist dog whistle, it was never about corruption.
  
  Same with "eggs". Magats lack a spine to say the shit out loud despite their claims they like to "tell it like it is."
- I mean, to them, corrupt means morally evil. When you think you're on the side of God while everyone else is Satan, that'll happen.
