Elon Musk was 100% correct when he characterized the tactics used against him as a "standard (despicable) playbook."
Elon Musk’s sparring with the Biden Administration merited a Tweet worthy of attention.
The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.

He’s 100% right, the left does have a tried and true playbook when it comes to going after their opposition. In my new book, The Democratic Party Playbook, I identified the most common nefarious approaches that the Left utilizes when going after their opposition. The public needs to know how to spot them when they are being employed and see them for what they are. The radical Progressives employ these without remorse or care for the damage they inflict. Here’s the short version:
#1 Make it Personal. The Progressives don’t fight the issues, they fight the people. The reason is that often their arguments to support their points on issues is weak. They ‘elevate’ the fight to the person.
#2 Discredit the Opposition. Smearing or defaming an opponent is considered fair game by the Left. The truth is irrelevant with this tactic, they merely seek to ruin reputations with this approach.
#3 Apply Guilt by Association. Don’t like someone, claim they are a Trump supporter, call them QAnon conspiracy follower, link them to someone that is inflammatory. Harvest their social media and twist their posts to fit the narrative.
