Re: Elon's reported "exit" from the 47 regime: I don't buy it. [View all]

So, 47 reportedly sez Elon will be exiting real soon now? I call bullshit. None of the Anti-American, racist, Christian nationalist, xenophobic, women-hating, dictator-loving billionaires hellbent on capturing every institution of our constitutional democracy are going anywhere (short of impeachment and removal of 47 and Theil's pet Vance after the midterms -- something we must be building toward now). Sure, the regime will try to keep him out of the public eye, but Elon, et al. will continue their path of destruction at warp speed; they will continue to serve as the enforcers threatening any Republican that exhibits a micron of humanity.

Sure, focusing the public's anger on Elon served a purpose. But all we've done is force them to move the guy's role to the background. Now we have to work as hard to direct that anger at 47 and Vance as the true leaders of their war on the American people.
