If you believe that, it destroys the argument the thread is making.

I can only go by what I see. Just read the comments on Musk's latest tweet.

From my perspective.

free speech absolutist tend to not believe in consequences , Trump being reinstated despite breaking twitters own rules. Musk in that context, taking over twitter would be considered a bad thing.

Is there a reason why you used such strange grammar in constructing this sentence? I think you are saying that the criticism is that he is willing to re-instate Trump's Twitter account, correct?

Elon Musk: A son of God

"These preachings from Elon sound out of this world, almost like he is a god. And maybe he is, perhaps he has a God’s gene that makes him shoot for the stars because from within, he knows how to make great things happen."

How so ?

Original post :

Curious as to how this will work in a Liberal's mind.

When Trump won the 2016 election fair and square, many Liberals claimed they were going to leave the country. Some moving to Canada they claimed. I'm not aware of many people who followed through on that.

Liberals loved Tesla vehicles because it signaled to all their friends they are liberal and they love the planet more than the next guy.

Now that Elon is buying Liberal's safe space in Twitter, they are now calling Elon racist (Joy Reid).

Will Liberals sell their Tesla vehicles now in boycott?

Will Liberals now move to Canada or some other country?

How is all this going to play out for Liberals? Things they cherish are becoming at odds with things they cherish.

Imagine being in a Liberal's mind right now and looking at the cross currents zapping every thought they have.


I don't see any argument being made at all. Just people trying to figure out what the leftists (not traditional liberals) will do now that Elon is in control. Which, many , including myself think it's an impossible task.

Progressives and Democrats, not liberals.

Classical liberals are more like libertarians.

You do have somewhat of a point there.

I was an old school liberal. Today's liberals are foreign to me and they are why I left the Democrat party.

When I talk about liberals, I'm talking about today's style of liberal that have taken over control of the media, schools and the Democrat party.

Old school liberals would be against much of what today's liberals stand for.
