 Can you believe Trump, RFK and Elon were all Democrats 
 The idea of ​​social justice in these times of crisis always sells well 
 the whole thing has been flipped on its head 

democrats used to be for blue collar workers, now they’re for big corp. 
 I believe RFK and Elon are there to pursuit their own interests. RFK to get back to the to try of the sweet taxpayers money 🤑💰 and Elon wants less competition for his products and more gov contracts. Very sceptical of these two.  
 It’s not the same party 
 Yes. As many politicians do, they switched postures as it became more advantageous. Same people, different hat. Old hat, in fact. 
 Old white hat  
 nah the democratic party became retarded in this instance 
 It’s interesting how Trump, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk all started with Democratic ties. Trump and RFK Jr. each had connections to the party due to family or business ties, while Elon Musk, known for his work in tech and clean energy, once aligned with more Democratic policies. Over time, each moved in different directions based on issues that mattered most to them. It’s a reminder of how personal beliefs can evolve and don’t always fit neatly into one political label. 
 Tulsi Gabbard, too 
 This is reminiscent of how Republicans in the 1800s were the progressive abolitionist party of Lincoln, and the Democrats were the Confederacy. Everything got flipped afterward. Now we’re witnessing a new transition.
