I'm cursed with being able to see both sides of the coin more often that most people.

In this case, Elon clearly attracts white people who feel like they've been wronged by DEI, the left media, immigration, etc. They don't feel like they're bad people or have done anything wrong to minorities. They’ve seen their communities and neighborhoods turn to something worse when minorities moved in. You can call them white supremacists, which has a negative connotation to it. I understand why they feel the way they feel.

At the same time, America is filled with different kinds of people, whether white people like it or not. The glass ceiling, the subtle racism, perpetual media and Hollywood discrimination of certain kinds of people are all things that most white people have a hard time understanding even if they are compassionate. When Elon or Trump say “America is for Americans”, all minorities know it really means “America is for white people”. The ideal outcome for Trump and Elon is that all black people are locked up, all Latinos deported, and all Asians go back to Asia voluntarily except those loyal to them.

- Two different of these little DOGE dweebs who forgot to scrub Nazi references from their social media profiles.

I get this is an uncomfortable realisation for a lot of people but I don’t think it’s something you can just wave away as a coincidence at this point.
