Elon Musk put this out today showing where he stood .. and now stands politically.
I confidently say that America was far more conservative in the Reagan years. Even Democrats were reasonable at least half the time back then.
This is why conservatives are considered Alt Right these days - it’s an optical illusion based on how far the left has veered off.
He seems like a Libertarian with some Conservative leanings.
I’m good with that .
And since he truly is a born African American, he can’t be POTUS ( and i doubt he would be effective, actually).
“Everyone has a role to play in this world, do it well”. Said somebody. Musk is playing his role well.
And intolerance is being exposed as contagious. Heads exploding!
He grew weary of dealing with libtards when he moved Tesla out of CA 🤪
And he watched South Africa go into the tank from wokism
No apologies needed. Your thoughts are based on facts and real life experience.
I am not military, and know my thoughts and world view are based on history and current facts, and are compatible yet different to most of my youngest brother , who I am so proud of, as he served a long while as Marine. His USMC service molded him into the great man that he is today. So very proud and thankful for the better road he took. And his views i am certain are similar to yours.
Thank you Sir, for your service. You should be a Congressman.
America was far more conservative in the Reagan years
Speaker of the House O’Neill was a staunch Democrat of the times. He would be embarrassed and ashamed of his party now.
Interesting note, Speaker O’Neill often spoke of service to his constituents, and of “Asking For Your Vote” every election cycle.
God forbid, lol, there's too many REMFs in Congress. I do not get along with REMFs.
You can get the translation from your brother...Semper Fi!
Ah, but i DO understand. And he laughed too.
The TV series MASH aired from 1972-1983 and was decidedly anti-war, everyone would have considered it to have a decided leftist bent at the time. One of the main characters, Corporal Klinger, was a straight guy who dressed in women's clothing so the Army would think he was crazy and discharge him. At the time even a left leaning TV show considered cross dressing to be so absurd that it was a major story line of the show.
Fast forward to today and not only are homosexuality and transgenderism accepted in the military, but we have several senior government officials who are either homosexual (Pete Buttigieg), transsexuals (Richard Levine), or crossdressers into BDSM (Sam Brinton).
What was considered so absurd that it was made a plotline in a left wing comedy 40 years ago is now being positioned as mainstream by today's democrats. That's how far the Overton window has been moved by leftists in America. We're now expected to take seriously and not criticize that which used to be considered laughably ridiculous even by leftists.
I love it.
Shows him on the other side of the wall!
I'm not too concerned with his personal feelings. What's important is that he (appears to) support the freedom to express your beliefs, whereas most liberals would like to shut you up if you aren't in lockstep with them.
Good posting that describes the shift!
Yeah good points. I was a teenager then so I bought into all the “Reagan is not mentally fit” nonsense.
Oh yes, and my bank is always championing gay rights. Business itself has drunk the kool aid.
Which comedian said Musk is his favorite AFRICAN American?
