Walz is just one of several Democrats who have referred to Musk’s immigrant background

    You aren’t telling me anything I don’t already know. My point is the US loves blaming outsiders but is fucked at real introspection. And predictably I get whataboutism responses.

    Walz seemed like a clever VP pick but this isn’t a clever quote. The maga party allowed Musk in and will scapegoat him when it suits them and the real systemic problems will remain. It is frustrating that global security and the world’s economies are under threat and we aren’t seeing any credible alternative leadership in the US getting traction. I don’t disagree with Walz’s statement at all but if it came from a 10 year old instead of a professional politician it might have more impact.
