Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much:
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world.

I received, and continue to receive, many extremely vicious attacks for standing with the people of Syria and Ukraine against prominent UK and US leftists who recited Putin and Assad's propaganda. Humanitarian principles must always transcend partisan loyalties. I won't be bullied into submission.
1. I saw this again and again from people like Tulsi Gabbard, who was then on the left: a complete absence of empathy towards the victims of Assad's attacks in Syria. And making common cause with the far right in supporting his regime and its Russian backers.🧵
