Nice, now you just have to convince the MAGA Republican and the BLM Democrat to have an open discussion, when each of them prefers to listen to their own social bubble. Good luck with that...

Or you need people to realize that MAGAs and BLMs are a small minority of the general population. You need the media to behave like adults and stop pitting one side against the other for clicks/views. You need companies to stop caving to outraged people on Twitter.

Yeah, I guess we're done.

A russian cosmonaut spit on Elon when he suggested he was going to build a rocket that can be recovered and refueled. Called him insane and it can't be done. Well... don't know if you're keeping a score card...

How many short sellers of tesla lost an awful lot of money? Elon is quite the force to reckon with.

While I am not MAGA, republican, BLM, nor democrat. I have had conversations with all of those. They are all reasonable people who will listen to what you have to say.

I think there's certainly some conversations that are possible even now but so many off limits topics that are what need to be discussed. That's an easy first fix.
