    If it’s propaganda, it’s for the left. Reminds me of The Patriotic Blonde on Twitter. She posts stuff that’s right-wing on the surface, but the kinda things that seem meant to make conservatives take a step back.

    “I LOVE Trump, but (reasonable objection). Why can’t we (do reasonable thing) instead?”

    People rage about her and I’m thinking, “If I wanted to subvert conservatives, this account is exactly how I would do it.”

      I disagree. It seems like a reframing of political ads in Texas as an oversight or a mistake with a dog whistle to anti-trans bigots. Likely because the ads have not been as well received as expected.

      A “this is Elon’s fault” follow up post is probably coming to throw him under the bus while his funding of the campaign is in the spotlight. Musk probably pissed off his daddy and his daddy’s handlers by telling the press the White House slowed down Ukraine’s Starlink access.

      Edit: it’s only gotten worse since a year ago.
