From my perspective, X experience has improved a lot since Elon's acquisition.

What actually got worse materially? I hear a lot of gesturing 'Orange man bad', 'Elon help orange man, so Elon bad' but I cannot reach any of these conclusions from first principles looking at Trump's policies while he was President... Aside from the Jan 6 incident... But I don't see consensus there between either side so I do have some doubts and questions about the true nature of that incident. The fact is, nobody on Jan 6 had guns besides police officers. How can that possibly be an insurrection? Please correct me if I'm wrong there.

The confederate flag has only been raised inside our capital buildings once, and that was on Jan 6.

Well, you can't overthrow a government with a piece of cloth. So I still don't see how it could be called an insurrection.

		Just because you suck at doing something doesn't change what you're attempting to do. They were there to execute elected officials and attempt to stop required processes in the belief that would invalidate an election they lost. Sounds like an insurrection to me.
