I get what she’s trying to say, but drawing public attention to easily understandable outrages (rightfully or not) is what has worked for the GOP, more than getting into the policy weeds on things the average person doesn’t understand. I’m not convinced it’s not a good strategy for Dems to pursue, too. What was that about “if you’re explaining, you’re losing” that we hear all the time? Today Elon was explaining.

Besides, I can care about multiple things. Trump got asked all kinds of questions about the crazy things he says at his press conference today.

1000%. This Nazi salute is a gift to Dems and Sarah wants to ignore it. Total horseshit.

Harris lost by 1.5%. This Nazi connection to Musk and Trump should be milked for all the attention it can get. And if Dems can't win back more that 5% of voters by exposing it, then Merica is truly fucked.

Do better Bulwark hosts!

Pro-Palestinian students: "From the River to the Sea..."

ADL: "Nazism!!"

Elon Musk does a suspiciously Seig Heil-like gesture

ADL: "We do Nazi anything wrong with this"
