The world’s richest man is spending at least $100 million on the midterm elections to support the Republican Party and his far-right agenda. But it looks like Elon Musk’s focus won’t be the economy, or the war in Iran or artificial intelligence. It won’t be his repellent ideas about race and his advocacy for “white solidarity.” Instead, Musk has come out of the gate with a barrage of ads targeting Democrats for not being sufficiently supportive of discrimination against transgender Americans.
If you look at voting rates, it’s not the GOP that decides elections, it’s the Democrats. GOP almost always gets ~63m votes. Democrats range 63+/-5m.
That’s why the both sides rhetoric steps up around election season. Republicans will vote consistently, and they win if a couple Democrats stay home.
Exactly. And also why the wedge ads and russian bot farms work so well; It hurts Democrats either way.
When that +/-5m gets wobbly, it’s a republican winner.
Bullshit. Complete and total bullshit.
