Elon's tweet is full of debunked claims (it's not try they are flying in asylum seekers or fast-tracing them for citizenship), but the biggest failing is the idea that adding Democrats will make Democrats always win election. In a Two Party system like the United States, the break down trends toward 50%/50% support for one Party or the other. No matter how many you add of one party, it'll quickly revert back to 50%/50%. The majority of voters vote for the incumbents when things are going well and for the opposition when things are going poorly. Conversely, parties change in order to woo voters. The more hispanics there are in the country, the more Republicans will adopt policies that appeal to hispanics. Bringing in a lot of left-wingers will shift that 50%/50% dividing line to the left, but it will not and can not give inherent victory to Democrats. Proof of this is Donald Trump, who has completely overturned the Republican party. All the old school Republicans have disavowed him, like Bush, Cheney, Romney, etc. The party is Republican in name only, it's really just the Trumpist party. And yet, this doesn't really matter, the election is still 50%/50%, because we live in a two party system that's always around 50%/50%. What really is a danger to democracy is still Trump, who tried to illegally seize power in 2020, and who promises to destroy the major democratic institutions in this country. Shifting voters isn't a threat to democracy, it's the ignoring the results of an election that is the threat.

I don't want to get into it, but I don't think Travis is quite right. I mean, the original 25million view tweet is full of fail and you should always assume Tavis is right .... ...but I'm seeing things a little differently. 🧵1/n
