LOL apparently Elon and some Goons were just on a Spaces talking about how they're going to remove the author_is_republican and author_is_democrat stuff from the code.
Except, as I've tried to point out, it was specifically added FOR the release of the code, they're brand new.
So they added it JUST so they could publicly announce they were removing it.
