   dems are creaming themselves over "president elon and trump his chief of staff" and the last time they got this excited about a rhetorical flourish it was "republicans are weird" and we all know how effective that ultimately was

     @huxley Part of the trouble seems to be that Musk is, despite everything, actually popular with folks. Teslas sell, people are still sticking around on X, and Musk still gets to cosplay as a smart person in fawning interviews.

     The most odious shit he's done, like spending $200m demonizing trans folks, is stuff that the Democrats largely agree with, at least if the NDAA vote is anything to go by.

     @huxley At *best*, they're less active in wanting trans folks to die. That's not nothing, and it's worth noting, and I'll absolutely take that over the Republicans..... but it sure doesn't leave them in a great place to land attacks on Musk.

     @xgranade "Dems as a party are anti trans" is an underrecognized truth
