Sorry you're getting shit on. I wish we (collectively) were better at not forming circular firing squads. Noah Smith (don't @ me people... I know not everyone is a fan) just had a post that also touches on the way social media pushes people to extremism as well. www.noahpinion.blog/p/after-trum...

About 10 years ago, I took a picture of a crow's nest outside of our office in Nakameguro made almost entirely of coat hangers. A few weeks later the city came, climbed the tree and took it out... I think because nesting crows are very territorial and will attack people.

Predicted this one… didn’t think it would come before Trump was even in office.
FWIW this is a time proven tactic. I remember Obama using it (was it intentional or not) in the healthcare debates about if health insurance should be mandatory. After he won the primary against Hillary he changed.

Democrats should definitely start to push for some kind of amendment to remove the foreign birth restriction for president (and then kill it if it gets support) just to roll a grenade under the GOP table.
![Ron Filipkowski tweet:
The fact that he is even talking about this today shows how much President
Musk is bothering him.
Acyn tweet:
Trump: [Elon Musk] is not going to be president. That I can tell you. I'm safe. You know why? He can't be. He wasn't born in this country](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4eg7iny5epm4oprazvmiaoyh/bafkreifqyacoooydyfhykjnnsneukmcaeurywbit3td4fnkaezxn5hv2ny@jpeg)
