Highlights:

• “When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world.” - Elon Musk
• “France is making democracy great again by banning candidates; by deliberately interfering in who French citizens can vote for. This is beyond absurd! It’s a parody of repulsiveness from an aristocratic elite who have completely lost the plot!” 
• “The ruling class uses the term ‘democracy’ in a very different way than we the people use it.”
