I’d go so far as to say Musk donating to a democrat candidate may be done explicitly as a poison pill to reduce support from the base.

It’s a fine line to walk. We do not want to support anyone who freely gets in bed with Musk, but draw too hard a line and we end up with worse (see supporters of Palestine and Biden/Harris/Trump.)

I wouldn’t say I’d be “fine” with them taking the money under any circumstance. But it’s never going to lead me to voting for repugnacans either directly or indirectly through abstaining.

There’s repugnicans everywhere in California. There’s just more Democrats.

I wouldn’t say there are more Republicans in wine country than any other agricultural region in the state. Probably slightly fewer.

The colonies weren’t “allowed” to leave England either, yet here we are.

Would it cause a civil war? Yea. Would California win? Of course not.

Do you think physical distance is keeping the data safely within our borders?

And you have a population that largely supports the actions of the government.

It’s not the government just doing what it pleases, it’s doing what its population wants it to do.

Say it loud for those in the back, it’s not just the leaders.
