he absolutely does not have the mass appeal to become a Trump like figure Archived Message Posted by Sounder on May 19, 2022, 14:02:04, in reply to "Right ok, that wasn’t really my point. It was that he can become the same type of trump like figure*" unless Republicans are way dumber than I give them credit for, which is also very possible. Previous Message Previous Message he literally cannot be President. Previous Message He’s no different than trump. All you have to do is play the part. And he has the following and name recognition to do it if he wants to. Previous Message Previous Message All you have to do is own the libs and you can be as powerful as you want. Elon can easily be president if he wants to. If you’re sociopathically ambitious, getting the dumb under your thumb is the easiest way to the top, and it’s very very easy to do once you have some name recognition.
