I don't need to know someone personally to disagree with their views and how they treat people. Some people are just toxic individuals and I'd rather not have anything to do with them or their business.
I didn't announce my departure...I just did it. Didn't announce "I'm Here!" when I joined, why would I announce "I'm Leaving!"?
I don't even know how they are helping him by being a member of twitter.
and by reminding people and asking them to deactivate aren't you supporting people who are opposed to musk who end up being bad people who work in the us govt?

This is not worth any brainpower, really.
The virtue signaling brigade has decided that having an active account at X/Twitter is a loyalty pledge to the Republican party and therefore it can be used as an identifiable trait for republicanism. If you don't remember the Call a Deer a Horse fable I am not going to repost it, because it is getting tiresome. This is just another example.
Debian recently left Twitter because nazies and fascists, which irks me the wrong way because they have been partnering with platforms that are sexist and racists themselves and nobody has complained. Bunch of hypochrites.

but do you really know what his views are or how he treats people.
From what i've seen (and what he's doing right now) he's asking people
who have been in employment for a long time what they do at their job
and what they've contributed. Many of these people can't come up with anything. that's a red flag that they need to go. whats wrong with that?
Are you SURE you're just not a highly suggestable person who does what
the media tells you?

but you literally DID annouce that you're leaving X.
It's okay to have a differing opinion. And it's not necessary for you to continue to try to 'sell' me on the idea that I might be wrong. If I don't like him, I don't like him. You can if you want...that's totally up to you.

okay so lets get to the bottom of this.
do you believe that elon did the nazi salute?
opinion or interpretation. Just give me the news and let me work it out. I watch only the local news...which tends to be...well, local. Yeah, they may report on something that's on the national stage, but that's pretty much only after the shit has hit the fan.

I have the feeling that if someone says yes, that means they just go along wit
everyone else, but if they say no, they're thinking for themselves (not just going along with everyone else who says no).

Question anything they tell you = "you can't think for yourself."
Pretty sure questioning things, no matter who says them, is a sign of thinking for yourself.

I don't understand how this will get down to the bottom of anything regarding what we were discussing. I certainly don't believe that he was "sending his heart out to the crowd". Regardless, he did the gesture (you can't dispute that). There are those that think the interpretation of the gesture is open for debate. I, however, am not one of those.
Administrations who come in looking for it are often looking to add their own versions of waste, fraud, and abuse, and they will also misidentify a lot of things.
Adding your own version <> eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

well isn't donald trump something totally different? all the politicians hate him because he isn't like them.

During his first term, I did believe that Trump was different (and in a good way). Now that he's been President, and now that he's shown us what
happens when he looses, I do not believe he is any different than any other politician. Trump is quite capable of being as crooked as the rest... different type of crooked, maybe, but just as capable nonetheless.
Ultimately, the politicians who make it to our national stage are all about winning, and very little about representing.

I have become more skeptical since 9/11. I was already fairly skeptical before then.

well he just got in. he hasn't been there that long. he's trying to eliminat
wasteful spending so far. i think that's a good thing.
he has to have a party back him. do you think someone in the green party or a
made up party could get elected as president.
""Ends all diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility programs, policies and mandates across the federal government, revising union contracts and employment practices to end them, as well. It also directs the government to terminate all positions related to DEI."
as a former federal employee i know in some respects these employees get a different oftentimes less benefitial protection and enforcement of their rights. eliminating these policies and programs will put these workers on a level playing field with the rest of the public. this is a restoration of rights.
and i'm all for getting people with gender identity disorder out of the military. they are mentally ill and need to get help.

oklahoma bombings too. none of this stuff adds up if you look into the information we have now.
Some of them are as they have something going on beyond a gender identity disorder. People who genuinely have that are usually more understanding of the reservations of others. The ones who are adamant about access to other people's children, etc., likely have other undiagnosed/untreated issues going on. As you say, they need help that they are not getting.
I don't think there's 1 healthy minded trans/ gender identity disordererson.
they are truly tormented. if you aren't comfortable in your own skin, it's pure hell. there's no way to fix it.

If they can afford to actually get transitioned, some of them seem sensible enough. I would guess it would be pure hell otherwise.

i'm pretty sure there's a high suicide rate for those people before and after becoming "another sex"

I do NOT want minors to transition, most do grow out of it, but if you
are over 21 feel free if that makes you happy. Breasts and reproductive
parts do not grow back when they are amputated.

Nor do I! Honestly, I would hope that any adult considering this as a possibility has discussed it with a mental health professional and has been diagnosed. If there are any other psychological issues that need to be addressed, those could become much worse post-transition if left
unaddressed beforehand.
Yes, and this is a concept I feel like kids (and even many 18 or 21 year olds) don't really understand... "forever" could be a very long, long time.

And since people like to hate on me and just turn everyting into hate i'd like to say that i don't hate these people. I want their pain to end. A lot of them are enduring mental anguish that we can't imagine.
