Xitter is not the place to do it. First of all Musk is a liar and a charlatan. His shtick of being all about “free speech” was all a smoke screen to set up a propaganda machine to get Trump elected. Secondly, the people on the other side at this point in time do not respect the rule of law, they do not respect boundaries, they do not respect tradition, they do not respect differing opinions, and they absolutely do not respect any Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives. They believe that they have an ordained mandate and there is no room for or reason to compromise or cooperate. Reasoning with them is an utter exercise in futility. That’s what exists on Xitter Ro. You can have it.
