Instead of threatening to primary Republicans, now TSF can threaten to send Elon to campaign for them

The Republican loser in yesterday's WI Supreme Court election was a typical GOP candidate. In an ordinary year, without all the outside attention, this would have been a much closer race. Wisconsin is a 50:50 state and statewide elections don't get called before 10:30pm... usually.

Being associated with Trump is not a good thing. People are angry about what's happening in this country.

Being associated with Elon Musk is even worse. Nobody voted for him, but there he is, involved in every facet of our system.

And people are only going to get angrier. Hopefully there will be huge changes in 2026!

With his buy your vote “promo”.

I’ve analyzed the promotional plan elsewhere on DU. It is nothing a professional planner would ever do.

Musk fancies himself a Renaissance man who can do anything. Nothing he’s done impresses me.

Don't go to a place you've never been before and pretend you're a local. People don't like it.
