Boy no shit. This type of “show respect as the fascists are burning the country down” is vestigial crap and all of those people deserve to be primaried. We are a fundamentally different country now. F*cl noblesse oblige. Fight like h*ll.

I'm not saying it was the only reason ... but played a big role, nevertheless.
I'm also questioning the suspicious statements right before & after the election by fElon Musk (anything can be hacked), and The Felon (fElon Musk knows those vote-counting computers) ... and I agree with this 👇
