Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, went on a spending spree in the weeks leading up to the midterms. By Election Day, he had invested — and I use that word deliberately — more than $440 million into propping up the GOP to try to make its message and its candidates more palatable with voters during an election cycle in which their brand had become increasingly toxic.

    Like a typical narcissist he thought he knew better and because he has a personal vendetta against trans people, he thinks everyone else will too. His anti trans crusade backfired.

    Even moving beyond just Elon, the entirety of the “anti-DEI” republican platform wholeheartedly collapsed in this election cycle. They spent two years doing everything they could to screw everyone in the government that arent WASP men on the basis of “standing up to wokeness”.

    How did that work out? The people responded by electing 4 first black governors, including the first black woman ever to be governor anywhere in the country. The first muslim senator. As well as other first representatives including native, gay, and transgender people. It couldnt have been more of a rebuke of all that horseshit that they have been peddling for years, and its about damn time

    There were some ugly votes too, but by and large its a great bellwether for progress and an actual shift towards a better society

    That much money could have done so much good in the world.

    Instead it was used to harm democracy.
