And… The Implosion Begins. MAGA Vs. Sane High Tech Immigration Policies… Hilarious!


Some of the more moderate hard right pundits are now taking belated note of the fundamental opposing forces to which Tangerine 2.0 told separate (irreconcilable) lies -- to get elected.

He promised the tech bros he’d help them get huge swaths of high skill Nigerians, Asians and people from India. . . into their workforces, via expanded work visas.

Moreover, in the very same breath, Tangerine 2.0 promised the dead end, low education MAGAts (all local). . . he’d give them these same $80,000 to $120,000 a year jobs.

And now -- the jig is up.

The MAGA dead enders are just now realizing they were lied to: they will never be qualified for these jobs, largely because they’ve repeatedly made egregiously-poor life choices throughout their educational careers. . . and into the present day.

So -- the Musk/Trump honeymoon is dying -- even before the inaugural is held.

I love it. [For her part, Marcy Wheeler, writing at EmptyWheel, expertly lays it all bare, as of a few days ago.]

And the more moderate hard right pundits candidly admit this likely means the Republicans lose one or both of the houses of Congress -- in 2026. [And to be clear, the sensible policy is to continue and expand high value, high-tech, worker visas into the United States.]

But as ever with Tangerine. . . welcome to the House of Chaos -- 2.0.
