  • leftist/democrat morons

    He has no problem with Twitter and all fascist commie democrats’ activist tech political censorship, lying, election interference, etc, but Twitter bought by Elon Musk, OH NO! Absolute dishonesty and delusion to claim you like mastodon for open ness, when all of you were fine with fascist/commie democrat twitter and all tech bias. Very transparent. Very dumb.
