pouring one out this morning for the outraged memelords on Reddit who are just figuring this out. https://twitter.com/Ike_Saul/status/1354783930839404547

a thing that is real is white guys on the internet who think someone with $50k in a brokerage account is "the masses"

guys who have taken every financial advantage offered by our lopsided society suddenly realizing it is unfair, but only after it is unfair to them, personally. yes we are all crying with you.

if the feds actually take regulatory action, there is a very good chance that this WSB thing turns into the next Tea Party/gamergate/alt-right shitshow. all you need is someone whispering "blame Biden" in their ear.

lol who is going to tell the outraged Reddit memelords that decades of conservative court rulings have made it next to impossible to form a class for a class action lawsuit.

next Tea Party/gamergate, here we go!

me [explaining to normies the "DIAMOND HANDS," "GIVE US OUR TENDIES" and rocketship emoji signs the next time the Capitol is stormed]: so it all started with a struggling video game store called GameStop

the fascist shit-stirrers are jumping on this **fast** hope AOC et al. can head them off.

to be clear, this is Ted Cruz finding a stick he can use to stir shit, not Ted Cruz actually committing to bipartisan oversight action.

finally the American politics guy admits he doesn't understand American politics.

here's the deal: there's a ball of white grievance rattling around the United States of America. until recently, it lived in the White House. at the moment, it is without a host.

throughout history, when the American ball of white grievance finds itself without a host, it looks for a faux-populist shell in which it can reside while it recovers back to full political strength.

this could be Evangelical Christianity, anti-abortion activism, the "culture wars," the Tea Party, the War on Terror, etc.

right now, a bunch of fascists like Don Jr. and Ted Cruz have spotted an opportunity and are trying to cram the white grievance ball into the shell of Reddit memelord faux-populism surrounding this GameStop nonsense.

AOC can see this happening and is trying to head it off.
