Sounds like he is starting to panic, realizing that Donnies chances are slipping since the debate and his inability to gain traction since then
.... so he wants to avoid creating a "one party state" ... by electing someone who openly wants to develop a one party state
I love this petty fatalism, like more immigrants voting is the apocalypse and the Republic Party can't possibly just... accommodate that? And adapt?
Same with a 51st state.
If they don't like it, well, they can lose more elections.
The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO claimed the Democratic Party would naturalize enough non-citizens as voters
Naturalized non-citizens like... Elon Musk?
And why would the Democratic Party need new voters if there won’t be any more elections?
Hey hey no logic allowed here
Well ackschuallllly what he meant was that no other party will stand a chance so it will effectively be a one party system as so many "liberal" immigrants will become citizens that they'll outnumber Republicans everywhere.
Even if that were true, which is truly ridiculous, new factions would pop up. If it swayed so far left that the Democrats always won, all the further left people would demand all the things they've been left without just to keep fascists from winning.
Basically, it would just be a leftward shift of the Overton window, which is LONNNG overdue. But it certainly wouldn't be the end of elections, that's stupid.
And that right there is why we need a sweeping blue victory. Kill off the crazy GOP of today, and let the left split into true left, and more traditional conservatives, or even center.
Every GOP accusation is projection. If Trump is elected, this will be the last election. Trump says so himself:
"Speaking to the faithful, the Republican nominee repeated his ominous prediction, promising, “You know what, It’ll be fixed! It will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” he said as he shook his head and placed his hand on the pledge position on the left side of his chest." source
Can we deport this shit stain to Mars yet?
... too close ... deport him to the sun instead
Either way: use a Boeing rocket to send him there.
But then isn’t there a chance he gets left behind?
What's left of him, you mean?
Takes too much energy. Deport him out of the solar system and let him spout his nonsense to Voyager.
It’s hard to aim, it’s always moving!!
Or back to south Africa.
These fucking people, nothing but projection.
Fascists like elon musk don't just lie, they exactly invert the truth.
He knows that trump winning ends democracy, so he goes into fascist mode and says the opposite. They do it all the time.
Projection. Goes great with obstruction and gaslighting.
Can we just banish this South African immigrant? He can enjoy his home country and fuck right off with his authoritarian bs.
He realizes his whole business is government contracts and he's backed a loser.
African Immigrant says what now?
Oh no you guys, Ketamine Karen is speaking, we should all listen to the 'genius'. LOL! Fuck off elon!
He doesn't actually believe this nonsense he spews, just like all the other conservative propagandists.
The problem is all the people that believe this idiocy. One of progressives biggest hurdles should be to drastically improve education to teach logic and critical thinking skills at a young age. This would be a cure to a lot of this dumbest of dumb propaganda. It's just so stupid it's obvious. But many people will actually believe it, and spread it.
Unfortunately, we're losing. Public education is not getting better, funding is being cut, and tax money is in some places starting to go to religious private schools. This is all being pushed by conservatives. Keeping the populace stupid is how they stay in power, and wealth.
Can we have that man forcibly removed from our country please? He’s already proven to be threat to our democracy. If he wants to say dumb shit like this, he can do so from far away where our taxes aren’t paying for the services he’s using to circumvent it.
Put Space-X into a form of receivership first though. National interests must be protected.
I always wonder if it’s Musk or the ketamine talking.
I fucking love that meme template.
Why aren't those clowns laughed out of the room as soon as they open their mouths?
because the US has spent decades creating a culture that allows this level of stupidity in their national politics
Stupid people saying stupid things in public is only considered acceptable if everyone that is listening in to all the stupidity are stupid themselves.
Because they fucking bought all the rooms.
Lolol. For HIS ass. Watch all these worms try to expatriate their money and businesses to Russia before the "librals terx my sterks".
Fuck you, Elon. I hope all the bad shit you're bringing upon yourself ends up being the worst outcome it could possibly be.
Sweet baby Elon. I look forward to this being your last election here immigrant.
Techno fascist says what?
Sounds a little desperate
Musk can go fuck himself.
Lol. This guy is probably also upset that people pay more attention to taylor swift than to him.
And here I didn't think I could hate this guy any more. Truly a vile piece of shit. I'm glad I never bought one of his cars and well he's at that company, I never will.
Ya because if Donnie loses he will encourage his cult to do another coup and install trump as dictator for life
what a dumbfuck he is. koolaid is cheap but damned if he isnt trying to corner the market. fool.
- Trump wins, it will be the last election
- Trump loses, also last election
Looks like we need to cause a draw... For democracy.
