And racist rhetoric. And misogynistic rhetoric. And probably other examples of intolerance too (like anti-trans).

He’s also just a petty little cry baby on top of all those reprehensible things, an irredeemable waste of life that’s detrimental to all other life. Truly the bottom of the barrel

No, they won't. They will continue to use their code words and even if by some miracle would stop you can guarantee the other side would start up again. The demographic of the disenfranchised (aka loser racists) is just too large to ignore in the US.

Code words? Naw they're gonna bring back the N-Word like they brought back the R-Word

I'm pretty sure they're already using the N-Word on internal channels

Right wing politics is in the service of capital, and explicitly not people
Identity politics is a weapon used to keep their support in line
They do not give a single shit about what comes out of the mouth attached to the hand that feeds
People like Elon are their biggest donors because they are existentially driven to make sure more people blame anyone other than (correctly) billionaires for many of the woes we're facing in the modern world

One of the South Africans I've known, Francois, feels pretty representative of the others I've met(4 total):
We could be having a completely normal conversation about anything and then, out of nowhere, he's telling me about how these people are lazy parasites and that SA used to be better. I suppose it may be something that's more mainstream there.
Does EM hate Jews? Idk about that, but I do know he is South African.

Those are no longer "donations". He is purchasing the politicians of a foreign government. "Foreign" being the usa.

Prominent Zionisists have a long history of hateful rhetoric comments against Jews. They referred to the diaspora Jews that didn't want a eugenic colonialist ethnosupremacist state as despicable human dust that needed to die. The media is controlled by Zionisists. A majority of those calling out actual racism against semitic people are called antisemites by the country who claims to represent all Jews. The hypocrisy happening shouldn't be surprising.

Zionism isn't a race. Better luck next time trying to conflate Zionism with Jewishness.
