The only way you can engage with this particular administration is by not shitting all over it no matter what it does. This is what Musk is attempting to do. What the protesters are doing is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to that goal, because it makes softening of the restrictions politically unfeasible.
Ask Obama how well "engaging" with Republicans worked over his two terms. Anyone who shows up expecting Republicans to negotiate and compromise and work together in good faith is going to be waiting an extremely long time for them to do it.
Absolute hard-line "say no to everything and slander them for even proposing it" politics dominated the past eight years and seem to have been incredibly successful for Republicans. Why not adopt a winning playbook?
