Part 8/12:
As Waters scrutinizes the ongoing political climate, he equates the shift in attitudes toward Musk with a broader rejection of progressivism. Key policies and initiatives that initially garnered Democratic support now face opposition due to Musk's involvement. This ideological rift raises eyebrows—how, he asks, did the once-celebrated figures like Musk become the subject of such vehement vitriol?
To be against Musk, as Waters articulates, would mean opposing principles that were once cherished by progressives: innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. This inherent contradiction hints at a deeper identity crisis within the Democratic Party, where their reactionary stance against Musk and, by extension, Trump, reveals a loss of grounded political values.
