Musk Leads MAGA Meltdown After Dem Demand for Mass Protests

Summary

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker urged Democrats to protest nationwide so "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace" during a New Hampshire speech.

His call for mass mobilization drew standing applause but ignited outrage from MAGA supporters. Elon Musk called the remarks "crazy," while conservatives accused Pritzker of inciting violence and even treason.

Pritzker also criticized Democrats for political timidity, asserting “the reckoning is finally here.”

His fiery tone fueled speculation about a 2028 presidential bid as he seeks re-election in Illinois next year.

Protesting is not treason. Treason is the reason for the protests.
- Treason is the reason for the season.
- Remember, remember!
  The fifth of November,
  The Gunpowder treason and plot;
  I know of no reason
  Why the Gunpowder treason
  Should ever be forgot!
I’ve yet to receive a check from George Soros, yet Elon is running around writing checks left and right. I’d call hypocrisy, but words are wind to whiny abusers like him. Once you flout their power they have nothing but tantrums to throw.
- The thing that freaks me out is Elon called that cave diver a pedo. Well every accusation is a confession with these people...
  
  Yeah, I'm 99.999999999% sure that all billionaires are pedos. It's just a matter of how well they hide it.
  
  Well yeah. Karate lessons with Ghislaine Maxwell was obv Gi optional
- Elon is running around writing checks left and right
  Mostly right.
- My understanding is that he never actually paid out any of that money he promised to voters.
  
  Pretending to do so or actually paying people doesn’t change the fact that he’s a disingenuous, hypocritical asshole decrying anyone who disagrees with his regressive and draconian world view a “paid protester”. I’m still waiting on my Soros bucks.
Why am I seeing headlines about the MAGA reaction to the thing instead of the thing itself?
- Media is suppressing news on protests.
  Protests are happening by my town's City Hall, so I know they're going on.
Do it J.B. I want him to do for this nation what he's done for Illinois. I'm not a fan of billionaires in general, but Pritzker has been absolutely amazing for Illinois. I could not ask for a better candidate.
- Pritzker is basically Bernie Sanders, except he has the money to fund a fucking army in the case the real one doesn't do it's job. He's not a fake billionaire like Trump
- I always assumed he was doing a great job because all I've heard people in rural Illinois and Indiana do is bitch about how he's ruining Illinois.
  
  Yeah, that's always a big flag, isn't it?
- yup. did not vote for him in the first primary but after one term I voted for him with enthusiasm thereafter.
To be clear Musk isn't leaving, he's working from home...
... he's doing so to keep a low profile because the bad press are costing him money and influence.
THINK about it: These people are in it for money and power. When they start losing money and power, they back off.
Because that's the whole point for them, that's their game.
Reminder: they’re looking for a reason to enact Martial Law and ‘legally’ deploy US troops against it’s citizens. Painting what is likely to be peaceful protests as “crazies inciting violence” before they’ve even ramped up is a purposeful decision.
Ketamine Karen pitches fit on the platform he bought for this very purpose...
BFD. Let him rant.
Anyone still on Xitter to witness it is a fool. 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🙄 🖕
It always blows my mind that Pritzker seems to be consistently on the right side of history. Have we done it? Have we found the mythical 'good' billionaire? 'cuz he's done a pretty great job as governor of my state and I'll happily vote for him again if I get the chance.
- He may not be perfect, though it does look like he has a strong interest in supporting the common man.
  And yes, I'll definitely be voting for him again. I want to reward that kind of behavior.
- *Doubt
  He's a governor from Illinois. Be neither disappointed nor surprised should he find himself in prison. They've got an impressive track record for picking future felons.
FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTEFASCIST
PROTESTING is TREASON!
-Americans who LOVE Defending School Shooters AND the Deportation of Legal Americans to Concentration Camps WITHOUT Due Process!
A governor: take to the streets! The media: let’s report on how Trumps boss feels about it.
It's responses such as these from Sieg Heiling Spare Karen and the Nazis that demonstrate how protesting is, in fact, very helpful for the people.
I've been very excited about hitting the streets and I'll carry on.
Rich coming from MAGA.
- Good. Now they get to use those guns like they've wanted to this whole time
The declaration of independence literally tells the people to take apart a government that is no longer working for the people.
Not that any of the republicans in congress actually have read such documents.
And barring anything else this is absolutely enough for me to vote for the guy in the next election. I’m sick of do-nothing democrats being all milquetoast.
A democratic leader calling for action? Wanting more? Standing up for what’s right? Yes please, and thank you!
Given how much these clowns project I'd say it's highly probable that Musk is thinking about how much of a Russian asset he is and how much treason he's personally perpetrating.
My parents said they’ve been attending protests…I said that’s great but have you been in contact with your congress critters?…They don’t even know who their rep is…The boomers need a direct education in direct democracy, because they have been de-educated and effectively neutralized on this account.
Right wingers and MAGA cry and whine so hard 🤣
Love Pritzker.
Id like Elon to explain why the remaeks are crazy.
- Because they're true and he has no real response. Is child (and evil). Reacts as such.
What's he whining about? He's not going to be impeached.
Wonder if we'll ever know they were all working for Russia thanks to Epstein island.
Does JB have a schedule/guide for Illinois residents?
