Are you able to consider that others have an opposing opinion to yours?

Do you have a more substantiative point than this?

To answer your question, yes I do. To try to guess what you are talking about, I'd say it's "Bluster tricks fools".

I'm not saying everyone that disagrees with this administrations actions are fools, far from it. But they are governing by press release of administrative action. They could do everything they are doing quietly, but they are not. It is clear they are trying to create a "shock and awe" type reaction. This is by definition aimed at lower information populations who are impressed by performative actions.

I also know that people disagree with me. At least 23% of the US public, and likely much more. However, we have a system of rules. When that system of rules is disregarded, bad things happen to societies. So I would prefer they make their policy changes through the existing system rather that break laws, as it is widely considered they are doing.

Please let me know if you had a different point in your short message.

Well, the author says that what is going on is "all illegal" because nobody voted for Elon Musk. But if you only count who was specifically voted for, could a president even have a team or should they be alone, as nobody else was voted for?

The original topic text isn't "high quality, factual, and relevant", it's a person not happy with the outcome. IMO, that's life for you - sometimes you lose.
