Trump finally returned to the X platform yesterday after being blocked for more than three years, and accepted an interview with Musk in a high-profile manner. After watching this interview, one can only draw one conclusion, that is, the United States will definitely fall into a greater division. The interview was delayed for more than 40 minutes before it started. Musk said it was because X suffered a saturated traffic attack by DDOS. After the interview, Harris immediately sent an email to supporters. The title of the email was: The two worst people you know are on the same stage, and criticized Musk for being Trump's running dog. Obviously, the American left is very unhappy to see this dialogue, this combination of Musk and Trump, so whether before or after the interview, they are trying to disrupt it. And if you read the content of the interview, you can better understand the anger of the left. There are at least three things that are life-and-death struggles for the left, or the establishment.
The first is that Trump said that if elected, he would dissolve the U.S. Department of Education. "Close the Department of Education and return education to the states," he also said, "I bet that 35 of the 50 states will do well." This is the common point between Trump and Musk. They are both very dissatisfied with the current brainwashing of students in the school system and the so-called awakening culture in the United States. The latest policy of the Biden administration even proposes that children can choose to change their gender without parental consent. Musk said in an interview before that he was deceived into signing a consent document for his eldest son to change his gender, because the school deceived him that if he did not sign, his son might commit suicide, and the medicine given to his son would sterilize him. He gritted his teeth and lost his son from then on. Trump meant to let the states decide for themselves. If the blue states want to engage in awakening culture, they should not come to harm the red states that support him. In the United States, this so-called awakening is the ideological cornerstone of the Democratic Party's left wing, so Trump's so-called dissolution of the Department of Education directly touched the foundation of their ideology.
The second is that Musk expressed his willingness to join the Trump administration. They discussed setting up a "Government Efficiency Committee" to help the government reduce waste. Trump praised Musk: "You are the most powerful (budget) cut master , I need an Elon Musk - I need someone full of strength, courage and wisdom." This is easy to understand. It is nothing more than government layoffs and salary cuts, turning the knife inward and self-revolution. Both Trump and Musk realize that the US bureaucracy is very bloated, the country is heavily in debt, and it is unsustainable to eat up the food of the next year. Regardless of whether it can be done, in short, this idea will not be welcomed by civil servants across the United States, so it is destined that the establishment will oppose them.
The third is about Putin. Trump has made it clear that if he is re-elected, he hopes to "get along well" with Putin. Trump praised Putin as "one of the best people." He believes that Ukraine cannot win. "Russia defeated (Nazi) Germany. Russia defeated Napoleon. Ukraine's situation is not optimistic." The Russian-Ukrainian war is also a profit-making method created by the US military-industrial complex and American neoconservatives. Therefore, if Trump wants to stop the Russian-Ukrainian war after taking office, he will directly offend the military.
Trump's policies have offended American intellectuals, civil servants and the military, who are unlikely to admit defeat. The so-called Harris polls that show Trump ahead are actually fabricated for the purpose of subsequent cheating. On the one hand, Musk is using his huge social media traffic to support Trump. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal broke the news on August 12 that Musk's team will mobilize 800,000 voters in swing states to vote for Trump. They are going to form a "troop" of more than 6,000 canvassers and other staff, and are prepared to spend $160 million.
The current internal divisions and contradictions in the United States far exceed the international conflicts with China. No matter who is elected, it is impossible to accept defeat. Therefore, the drama in the United States has just begun, and the great struggle between the left and the right has just begun. There will definitely be bigger black swan events.
