He hasnt swung to the right Yes he has, and he said as much, in a [tweet] (naturally) from May this year: —————————————————————— In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … —————————————————————— How he can reconcile "democrats are the party of division and hate" with his statement that he will vote for the party whose leadership was responsible for a seditious mob who stormed the Capitol and was prepared to hang the vice president is beyond me, but that's what you get from maniacs.

IMO we have to examine his actions and not his words, as his words are almost always calculated to achieve a certain goal; his hidden agenda, whether it is self promotion or influencing an outcome.

The Jan 6 people no more represent the Republican mainstream than the BLM rioters burning down buildings represent the Democrat mainstream. Jan 6 was odd though. The only death by gunshot was one of the protestors. Clearly it was a disorganised rabble that was easily removed. Looking at the videos it was obvious they were surprised to be let inside in the building and were wandering around in confusion thinking "now what". And I have to agree with Elon, you only have to look at any political thread to see the endless river of nastiness and bile coming from the left. They are not remotely the people they think they are. They are just your standard, garden variety haters hiding behind a very thin "cloak of virtue".
