I feel like a Elon Musk backed Trump administration might do it.
Musk has already stepped in a lot of shit saying that Americans don’t want to work any more as a reason for increasing H1B visas. Trump has also said that inflation isn’t going to be something his administration is going to fix; a lot of his policies will make it worse.
Combine that with conservative media having a hard time demonizing Luigi is beginning to create a crack between the Republican leadership and its MAGA base.
I think the right-wing made a mistake engaging in populism. They’ve politically activated millions of people and are starting to lose control of the narrative. I might be mistaken, but I’ve been getting the feeling that the MAGA folks are becoming increasingly receptive to left-wing populist arguments.
Even Steve Bannon of all people responded to the H-1B visa drama with a left-wing populist argument, where he said foreign workers who came here on H-1B visas were treated like indentured servants.
Meanwhile the Democratic Party refuses to change and is losing its base, allowing the right wing to dominate the narrative. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but the optimistic side of me hopes there will finally be a left populist resurgence, just as the right wing is losing its grip.
“There seems to be a lot of confusion about this interaction. I personally am the biggest fan of Elon on the planet and I always will be. I’m also capable of disagreeing with people I deeply respect and admire," the user wrote
Said the conservative who was just told by Elon to go fuck his face. I hope you’re right but they seem pretty easily manipulated still.

The right wing had to engage in right wing populism to retain its base. Mitt Romney wouldn’t have won 2016 or 2024.
