I am not speculating here: In June, Postmaster General David Steiner confirmed to Congress that under the rule, which was still being drafted at the time, the Postal Service would not deliver ballots in states that refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the Trump administration—a move that, if the rule were to take effect, would effectively disenfranchise tens of millions of people for the crime of living in a state Trump does not like. Sure enough, last Friday, the Postal Service released a proposal that does exactly as Steiner promised.

I think they're stupid too. One of us includes a black guy that is constantly trying to erode minority rights and a woman that agrees with eroding women's rights. Which one of us is really the stupid one?

Are they stupid? Because it seems like they're stinking rich.

Being rich just requires luck. Many many rich people are complete morons. See: Elon Musk.

Yeah I wouldn't call taking advantage of a system built off the good will of the American people stupid. I'd call it evil, not stupid.
Musk is literally and figuratively regarded, yes.

Just call him stupid or something. Don’t try to hide a slur.

When calling someone 'stupid or something' carries the same weight as that word - I'll do so. Otherwise, no. No, I think Elon Musk deserves all the hate and slurs thrown at him.

Keep in mind he literally started claiming voter fraud was a huge issue before the election in 2016. It’s been ten solid years of him lying about this.
