Just re-upping this fantastic explainer thread, on how an EO cannot just rename an international body of water, and we need to stop describing patently illegal EOs as "doing" the things they legally cannot do. And if any big international corp (Apple, Google) buckles, hope other countries push back

like this
- Give it time. When, not if, when Trump gives billions to fund Israel's genocide then people will be just as furious with him as they were when Biden did it.
- Xhitter is full of bots and Nazis now so you won't see much criticism of Trump on Nazi Musk's shitty Nazi platform.
Yeah, I wonder why everyone isn't on the Nazi website calling out Trump. π€
Trump is quite clearly a monster. Theres never been a question in anyone's mind (other than idiots) that Trump would commit attrocities. What is striking is that Biden would act similarly to Trump, which is why people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 were especially angry.
Had you libs actually taken this genocide seriously for the past year rather than spit in the face of anyone who had a conscience, your question would be irrelevant.

"Naive" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
"He sparked an outcry in November, including from the White House, when he responded on X to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and professing indifference to antisemitism by posting, "You have said the actual truth." He later apologized for the comment, calling it the "dumbest" post that he's ever done."

That was a Nazi salute, full of hate. He was jubilant Trump had won and couldn't help himself.
1. It's obvious.
2. His history supports it.
3. The recipients of the message understood it.
The only interesting thing about it was the little hamster in Elon's head never worked so hard in its life as it did to come up with "my heart goes out to you" in that moment.
