I must have missed where all those "camps" were located and when people were able to keep themselves out of said "camps" via their personal gun ownership.

Yes, we can tell that Anthony isn't the brightest guy.

I’m feeling perplexed this morning. I’m 100% certain Laura Loomer is wrong about pretty much everything, but I was thinking the exact same thing about Elon yesterday. Maybe she stumbled into the right answer on this one? I do think Elon is becoming a real problem for Trump and it will be interesting to see if Trump doubles down or starts trying to throw him over the side. If it’s the former, the President Elon narrative will only grow stronger.

She's definitely jealous. A few months ago, she was jet setting around with Donald on his private plane and accompanying him everywhere. Then, he bombed the debate and finally kicked her to the curb. Now Elon has slid into her spot as the Trump Whisperer and she's not happy about it.

It shouldn't be surprising to me, but still, it's amazing that MAGA nation believes that liberals are ungrateful America haters who look down on them and want to destroy the country, and yet Elon Musk says stuff like this and they don't bat an eye. Trump has also trashed the country on numerous occasions and ridiculed our military veterans (and especially those who have been wounded or killed in combat) as suckers, and yet his supporters think he's the guy who will make America great again. Sometimes all you can do is just shake your head and laugh at the insanity of it all.

MAGA is batting an eye over this and Musk is striking back. Like I’ve been saying, Musk tech bro fan boys (Muskovites??) and MAGA have overlap but are different groups with different priorities. And Musk grabbed the MAGA third rail on immigration.

All-Out MAGA Civil War Engulfs Trump Already

Trump’s winning electoral coalition couldn’t quite make it through the season of goodwill.
www.thedailybeast.com www.thedailybeast.com

“… Overnight, Trump cheerleaders have used Elon Musk’s platform to attack the world’s richest man—and many now claim Musk is using his social media omnipotence to shut them down.

…
“This is America. We don’t have a monarchy. This is outrageous,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after claiming that she was being censored on the platform by Musk.

Loomer waded into the Boxing Day culture war sparked by Vivek Ramaswamy’s controversial post claiming that “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.”

A debate over H1B visas has quickly descended into a bitter feud between those—led by the tech crowd—who believe importing highly skilled workers from abroad will boost the American economy and those—like Trump himself—who have long argued that the visas are being abused by companies seeking cheaper foreign labor to the detriment of American workers.



…
“Tech bros have never seen this statement from @realDonaldTrump because they only decided to pretend being MAGA 4 months ago after Trump almost has his head blown off in Butler, PA. I am an original MAGA Trump supporter. I’m as die hard as they come. MAGA! AMERICA FIRST!”

Soon after her intervention, Loomer found that her X privileges had been curtailed. She said her checkmark had been removed, and her subscriptions had been canceled. …”
 
(Cont’d)

“… Dozens of other accounts criticizing Musk and Ramaswamy’s position also claimed that their checkmarks had been taken away.

The executive director of Women for America First, Kylie Jane Kremer, said hers had disappeared. The ConservativeOG group on X said the same had happened to them and their affiliated influencers. …”

Even a blind monkey...
 
On a related note, in case you missed Ramaswamy’s critique of American culture that is somewhat at the root of this Muskovites v MAGA violence:

Short version - “normal” America sucks and is incapable of producing kids smart enough to be computer engineers. Not saying he is entirely wrong, but a curious message when your base is MAGA.
 
This is why MAGA is just completely unsustainable absent an Orban-like destruction of our democratic institutions. Elon and Vivek cannot coexist in a political alliance with Joe from Waco and Peggy from Tupelo. It's not just that they're completely different people with incompatible worldviews. It's that when you dig an inch beneath the surface, they absolutely HATE each other. I think Elon is extremely dangerous in the moment, but it's possible we look back on him as the first cancer cell that led to MAGA's destruction. There's no chance Trump has the brains or the cleverness to hold this together.
