Stop assuming that people who report what Musk is doing have given up, lost hope.

What Musk is doing pisses me off, I am angry and the answer is not singing kumbaya, the answer is for Dems to hold town halls and lay it out for them what Project 2025 will do to them.

It is we the people who are needed to save our democracy. I am sorry to report that the 3 legged stool of democracy is broken so get mad, get organized, fight back.

Do not assume the courts will save us, fight.
