It's a real talent-set. Don't disparage it. But don't get it confused with leadership, either.

Elon has earned every bit of the animosity his fascist actions have generated. This is just another case of one scumbag Republican defending another.

Bullying, tag-teaming, swarming, hectoring, oppressing, picking on, they call it what they want; but somewhere along the line, they decided that free speech hurting them and them alone is not free speech but cancel culture.

They want a free exchange of valid ideas, unless that exchange of valid ideas triggers them, then it's "Stop oppressing me! If I show the evidence supporting my ideas people will be malicious to me! I'm not playing those games!!" followed by about a gallon of arble-garble.

Weak people say weak things.
