People on the left have to do an honest evaluation of their party and goals and ask themselves why this is happening. Its one thing to go behind the keyboard and play the role of a troll, but things like this are happening almost once a week now. It is also time for all of the media to take a long look at how they are delivering news and acknowledge the potential impact that it is having on viewers in a post COVID society where mental health issues are widespread in every area and demographic.

I know that 95 percent of democrats don't stand for things like this, when does it become too much for you?

This happened quickly because unlike most people on the far left, Trump and Musk have the ability to get over things and move on.

Great until NbcNews and CNN take one photo of it and then plaster 'MAGA insurrection" on the headlines for two weeks. Actually, never mind. They would probably find an excuse do that anyway.

In some cases like Tibs, Doc and Roundy I feel like they are actual people being true to their thoughts, but Homelander is a pure troll with no other intention besides that.

Today, I just learned that intervening when foreigners who shouldn't have been here in the first place after their protests are overwhelming local police is "fascism". Par for the course when it comes to the TBD TDS squad. Things like this and last week's attacks are campaigning for the Republican side in 2026 better than anything that they could say. No one wants that chaos no matter how much the media tries to change the narrative. Keep em coming guys. Edit: I assume that Homelander's laugh is due to the absurdity of the takes on the left. I agree.

I do not feel a particular loyalty or disdain to either. Both made many irrational threats, but the one that I referenced would put astronauts in jeopardy. TSLA is not a core stock in my portfolio, but I occasionally buy and sell it strategically, this doesn't change that, and neither did his alliance with Trump (besides buying a little before November anticipating a spike from a Trump win). I would not buy any electric car until the range, battery life and long term value get better. I would never vandalize anyone's cars for any reason, but even more so for political ones. Overall, this does not worry me that much yet, they are two hotheads feuding and will probably patch up as quickly as they started the feud.

If he just puts a VS. at the bottom of the heart, it remains current, and prevents a painful removal process. Note: I know that this is satire

I see Musk the same as I did before, Brilliant, innovative, key to Trumps's election, but also a self-absorbed narcissist like most ultra rich billionaires have to be to get to that level. Him and Trumps goals aligned for months, but I always knew that he had his own agenda and goals in mind. I don't mean that in a discrediting way, just that it was naive to assume differently and it is not Musk's fault if others did. As far as the tiff, both acted childish yesterday, but Musk crossed a line by threatening to remove SpaceX which could jeopardize astronauts. If any lefties whether politicians, celebrities or regular people suddenly love Musk after six months of acting like he is the worst threat on the planet, it is concrete proof that their opinion is solely dictated by the media and/or TDS. I must say that I have not seen much of that here in the last few pages and I am pleasantly surprised.

I didn't bother to read it. You are trying to justify attacking elderly people in another continent with a flamethrower, that is sick and evil. I do not need to debate with or acknowledge extremists. Palestine wrote a check that their body couldn't cash in 2023 and got exactly what they deserved. Palestine is dead wrong, and the world will be better when they cease to exist as a nation. full stop. Maybe after that, the innocent civilians there can live a stable life where they do not have to worry about their own government holding them hostage as expendable leverage at strategic battle sites every time someone fights back after the terrorist attacks that Palestine always starts. The rest of us are sick of the crap. I will never compromise with terrorism. Block me if you don't like that. Have the day that you deserve.

I see it as encouraging that other true blue Democrats are seeing the light, just like i hope that most of us conservatives would take issue if the Christian Nationalist extreme portion of the right became more visible. Polarizing extremes and terror have no place anywhere.

Are you really turning on someone who has also consistently been against Trump and would agree with you most of the time? That is what unhinged extremists do. Its a "for us or against us", mentality where it is either all of nothing and anyone who dares stray even once is the enemy. This is why Trump is still well ahead of dems on the polls despite doing a few very questionable things. I am starting to wonder if the five or six resident tds trolls including you aren't really just one or two extremely lonely people with duplicate accounts.

Most of my coworkers are democrats and/or liberals and were just as disgusted, same with a couple of online and in person democrats that I know. Sadly, here is the only place where I have seen more people justifying it. Some things transcend partisan issues. I respect anyone on either side who can cross party lines occasionally and review each issue on it's own.

Never thought of it from that angle, but I wonder how much this is a factor? If Trump was to change his stance tomorrow and be pro Palestine, I wonder what percentage of the TDS crew here would suddenly decide they were Pro-Israel?

Nearly one century of throwing Molotov Cocktails and rocks, breaking peace agreements, starting wars, and conducting terrorist attacks tend to make people think a little less of you. A couple decades of "being good" lulled millions including myself into thinking differently and hoping that maybe they could coexist or be a dual state, despite warnings from older people who were adults during the peak of their terrorism and remembered how they were. They proved us all wrong by showing their true colors in October of 2023 and spread their ways worldwide. True, not all of them are Hamas, but if we want a sample of how the non-Hamas version acts, we can just look at college campuses over the last couple of years.
