       @Teri_Kanefield That would be every thinking person's conclusion. Of course musk's motivation is the same as trump's, to maximally monetize his fame. It's also a bonus for him to squelch other voices.

       @Teri_Kanefield Your definition of consequences is quite over-generous. Flynn is still receiving his military pension and has never been court-martialled per military code for lying under oath. Stone was in direct communication with the Proud Boys convicted of sedition, but neither Stone nor Trump who also publicly directed these same Proud Boys, were charged with sedition.

       @Teri_Kanefield Consequences for the ringleaders would mean actual charges and trials. Since they received merely performative consequences, Flynn, Stone, Bannon and Trump are emboldened to continue their seditious activities unabated even today. The public is right to their skeptical conclusions, and your blithe FAQ dismissals are risible.

       @georgetakeiTrumpism is a great example of how any religion begins and evolves. It justifies selfish, toxic behavior, then claims to be divinely ordained or the will of God. It is the opposite of majority rule/democracy, and seeks to enshrine authoritarian male dominance. Carl Sagan explained how to resist.  Only a broad-based education which includes the skeptical, scientific approach, with compassion and desire for the common good, can combat the scourge of organized religion.

       @KimPeralesAn important milestone in the ending of democracy in America, if this Wisconsin fascist tactic makes it to the Supreme Court and gets upheld with their usual 5-4 vote. Like Citizens United and the election of George W., the dismantling of America proceeds apace via 5-4 Court rulings.
