*the night of the election, the president says he has won, and the election is being stolen. then organizes the GOP into manufacturing lies about made up irregularities so people believe it was stolen* this person: it’s the Democrats’ fault this happened

It’s a good thing, as Charles Cooke wrote, that Musk’s conspiracy theories regarding January 6th, embrace of white nationalism, and bankrolling the Trump campaign is just some harmless eccentricities of an inventor. If it had real world impact, that would be concerning.

This guy has credulously repeated piles of the most obvious RW propaganda ever since he made his heel turn. He's in no position to tell anyone about critical thinking.

If only the president who systematically convinced his supporters that the election he lost was fraudulent so he could seize power and end our republic, would admit what he did, then he would be winning this election. - Guy Benson

The spin here is that Trump is.... unaware that the Nazis were bad?

When a former Trump official comes out with a story demonstrating Trump’s unfitness for office, nihilistic Trump defenders leap into action, questioning the motives, context, or credibility of the individual making the claim. They’re doing this right now with General Kelly.

Prominent members of the right-wing media elite touted John Kelly’s ability as White House chief of staff to impose discipline on then-President Donald Trump and prevent the nation from falling into chaos. Now, Kelly is publicly describing the former president as a fascist bent

I know this isn’t actually important because Charles Cooke told me so. Anyone concerned about Musk’s descent into madness, and coordination with Vladimir Putin, is exhibiting ridiculous monomania.

Trump said Cheney should be put before a military tribunal, and yet a bunch of people want to sit here and parse out if he “merely” fantasized about Cheney facing off with 9 rifles pointing at her, as if that matters. What’s wrong with all of you? cnn.com/2024/07/02/pol…

Elon Musk puts his money where his mouth is. He not only supports someone for president who attempted to seize power; he’s not only donated $75 million+ to support Trump; he’s also tricked people into campaigning for Trump, transports them around in a U-Haul, and fired them.

For her. For all our daughters and sons. For America. 🇺🇸

I'm cautious about sayihg what I really feel right now, especially on this platform, because I know it would be mocked. And that, itself, is a symptom of what I see, the glee that many now take in other Americans' sadness and fear. We are remaking ourselves in his image.
