Bernie Sanders is having a meltdown over America’s most influential figures, claiming we’re living in the “scariest times” of his life due to Trump, Musk, and Bezos. The 83-year-old socialist Senator’s paranoia about successful businessmen and the President reveals just how threatened the radical left feels by the populist movement sweeping America – and government efficiency.
At a glance:
• Bernie Sanders claims Trump, Musk, and Bezos make this the “scariest times” in his lifetime
• Sanders accuses America of becoming an “oligarchy” while pushing his own socialist agenda
• The Senator fears billionaires’ influence on media, particularly Musk’s ownership of X (Twitter)
• He criticizes Bezos for Washington Post staff reductions and alleged right-wing shift
• Sanders falsely claims Trump’s actions are “unconstitutional” despite courts ruling otherwise
Sanders Panics Over Free Speech Advocates
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is sounding increasingly desperate as Trump and conservative-aligned business leaders gain momentum in America. During a recent interview on Pod Save America with Jon Lovett, Sanders claimed that the current political climate represents “the scariest times in my lifetime.” Which isn’t true.
The 83-year-old Senator specifically targeted President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as figures who terrify him. His comments reveal how threatened liberal politicians feel by successful business leaders who refuse to align with leftist orthodoxy.
Media Freedom Triggers Socialist Senator
Sanders appears particularly disturbed by Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter), which has become a platform where conservative voices can speak freely without censorship. The Senator’s complaints about Musk’s ability to “broadcast messages to millions” reveals his discomfort with platforms that allow open discourse outside of traditional media gatekeepers.
He’s scared of conservatives just having a voice?
“You combine that with the fact that people like Bezos, the second wealthiest person in the country, fired or got rid of most of his editorial staff and is going to convert them into a right-wing thing,” Sanders complained, seemingly upset that The Washington Post might no longer serve as a reliable Democratic Party mouthpiece.
The Washington Post’s readership has plummeted from 22.5 million daily users in January 2021 to just 2.5-3 million by mid-2024, suggesting Americans are rejecting its biased coverage. Sanders’ concern about this decline exposes how dependent liberals have become on legacy media for pushing their narratives.
He should be glad the outlet can live another day!
Constitutional Confusion
In his most outlandish claim, Sanders accused Trump of acting unconstitutionally, saying, “When Trump unilaterally cuts federal funding that was passed by Congress, that is illegal.”
What he doesn’t seem to realize is that the executive branch has legitimate authority to manage government spending – and Trump keeps winning court cases on that basis.
Sanders further demonstrated his constitutional confusion by suggesting Trump is undermining the system of checks and balances created by the Founding Fathers. The irony is palpable considering Sanders has spent his career advocating for massive expansions of federal power that would horrify the nation’s founders.
While claiming to defend democracy, Sanders simultaneously pushes for socialist policies that would concentrate unprecedented power in Washington DC. His criticism of successful American entrepreneurs while advocating for government control of the economy reveals his true agenda.
Does he think we are stupid?
