They're not going to take a real stand against what Elon is doing because in their wildest dreams they would do the same and need a way to justify it.

People like that can easier visualize a scenario where they would "have to" use lethal force against protesters than a scenario in which they are the protester facing lethal force.

Fellow child of a veteran here. It's absolute hell and I live in constant fear of my mom's benefits not getting paid out. Navigating the VA system was already a shitshow before this. Now? It's been the main thing keeping me up at night for the last 3 weeks.
