So don’t trust the doctors?
Are you ready to admit that the homeless use the libraries?

Can you tell me exactly how many people was in his ear about this?
I'm a simple man with a simple thought process but, I know for a fact, that you cannot transition into something that, one can never be.
He probably read a lot about it and discovered all the science supports "gender affirming care." As an autistic man, I imagine that carried a lot of weight for him.

So you’re saying Musk doesn’t have access to his children? He is not able to speak to them? He has to rely on doctors for any and all info about his kids? That’s how he was able to be “ tricked”?
I’ll have whatever you’re on.

Is that your stance on this?
I’m saying Elon trusted the doctors.
You seem to be saying he shouldn’t have listened to them.

If a doctor tells you to inject your kids with carcinogenic hormones, you should not trust them.
In fact, I encourage everyone to second guess everything doctors tell them. Doctors are just flawed people like everyone else. Always do your own research.

I consider myself to be very intelligent, not Elon smart, but smart enough to know a good bit.
20 years ago when I was a diehard dem, I have no doubt that a Dr could have at least swayed me to consider it IF I was being told my kid was going to commit suicide.
How old was the kid when this was happening? If the kid was 16 or older, I could also see where the father, any father, would struggle to stop them at that point.
Fast forward to today, and I would tell all of these groomers to frick right off.

Finally, you made a non retarded statement. Congrats, I knew you had it in you.
Now, what if your child says they are the opposite gender. Are you going to deny them the care? Some people want to make that illegal. And a reason for your kids to be taken from you. What are you doing in that situation?

There are psychological studies that show 30-40% of society are easily led by authority figures, whether those authority figures are good or bad, doesn't seem to matter.

That’s what I’m getting at.
I don’t know what I would do several years ago. It’s easy to say now.
Look at Covid, we convinced hundreds of millions of people to actually not follow science. Just whimsical mandates.

Injecting anyone with carcinogenic hormones is not care.
All it took was Musk saying he was tricked into letting his kid transition for you to get on board with this shite.

Same with the American war for independence, without a few steadfast men it would have never happened.
The vast majority of Americans do not know only 20-25% of Americans initially wanted to challenge the Crown for independence, and even after years of fighting the support for independence vacillated between 30-50% depending on who the colonists believed were winning the war.

I think the key thing you’re missing is how susceptible people are to deferring to authority figures. And not in a ‘critique of their individual weakness’ way, but in a ‘this is foundational human psychology’ way.
Think back through time… all pack animals have an alpha, and our ancestors were pack animals. We’re saddled with the remnants of those social dynamics. Meaning we have hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution training our emotional states to be deferential to authority. You don’t defer to the alpha in a pack, and the alpha beats the shite out of you and leaves you stranded and alone. That was the status quo for 99.5% of the last fifty million years of human evolution. That is an extremely deep biological drive to overcome.
Go read up on the Milgram experiment if you haven’t yet. I think you’ll be surprised at what percentage of the population will do something that they know is wrong if an authority figure tells them to do it. We’re stuck with some really unfortunate biological programming.

No its not just a few steadfast men. Most all of Boston is not a few men. The english had a blockade on NYC and more than a few men there hated those limeys.
I think in both your examples the great majority of the country were in support of the war, not just a few men.
Support for the war never topped 30%. Even as we were winning at the end.

Just like the china virus injection. People tend to believe doctors without pushback and used to fall in line and do what they were told. Not anymore.

I disagree. As the war progressed and the British became more oppressive with their tactics, support for the US greatly increased. By 1781 most of the loyalists were leaving or changing their tune.
The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 is viewed by most historians as the major turning point of support for the revolution. After Saratoga, colonists started to believe we could really win.

Musk is going to destroy himself? The world’s richest and smartest man was tricked like that? He was all in until it wasn’t profitable for him anymore.
