    Nevermind that both Romney and McCain (not to mention Bush) considered Trump unacceptable too. But hey, it's just Democrats being Democrats.

    Yeah, it's not like Republicans did this with Clinton, Obama, and Biden or anything like that. Just Democrats.

    Remember how Al Gore was destroying Democracy by taking a couple of weeks to concede and ask for a recount?

    My short list is Haley and DeSantis after trump gets impeached again. I am sure others will surface but they seem like better choices than joe or Kamala

    Here's a snippet of Republicans who now kiss Trump's ass, predicting the future

    Trump shat on McCain and was disrespectful in his death.

    I agree about Trump. But the point of the tweet is, you guys vilify them all. I remember how Bush was the devil here. Romney. McCain. Now DeSantis.

    DeSantis is not Trump. But you can already see how hateful people like SamFisher are trying to paint him to be Satan.

    Don't forget it goes both ways. Conservatives certainly vilified Clinton, Clinton and Obama.

    Unless he condemned that coup planner, which he didn't, then he isn't any better than Trump. You can't coddle to an insurrectionist and then pretend you believe in Democracy, truth, and ensuring losers in the future don't repeat what Trump tried to accomplish with his coup.

    Romney was mocked but not vilified the way Trump is because he is a villian. Romney, McCain, Bush - all of them were worthy of mockery and criticism, but no one ever said they were a threat to our democracy, a disgrace to the very ideals of the country and that they were racist coddling hate groups and spurring their supporters to violence.

    To try to say, "Oh Dems treat Trump like every other Republican" is just a load of horseshit.

    Likely spent too much time on the internet as that is a joke that's repeated in nearly every Elon Most twitter thread.

    When you're surrounded by sycophants, you don't always realize you're not as funny as you think you are. I'm sure his inner circle praised him for it and thinks its was a great gotcha moment. Of what? Who knows.

    Musk is African-American.

    It's racist to deny that.

    Of course he is, but also, of course, blacks are equated with African American.

    How often do you hear of white South Africans seriously referred to as African American in the USA?
