Boycotting Tesla? Illegal says Trump. TERRORISM! WTF???
reporter: “some say they should be labeled domestic terrorists.”
Donny: “I will do that. I’ll do that. I’m gonna stop ’em. because they’re harming a great American company.”
so, for those of you keeping score at home, using a fire extinguisher to bludgeon a cop and then smearing shit all over the walls of Congress is the act of a tourist blowing off steam.
but show up at a dealership with a sign that reads “boycott Tesla,” and you’re literally the enemy of the people. Tiedrich
DOPE: How can you continue with your delusions that Trump is somehow anything but the worst POTUS this country has ever seen.

Yep!
Them getting violent...is a feature, not a bug! They love them some "Direct action". Only this time they're going to find they will get no quarter from the FBI or DOJ.

First- I don’t condone suchviolence, and most here do not either. Violators who caused property damage should be arrested and charged.
But I can’t help thinking- perhaps if protestors tarred and feathered Elon, you might finally get the point.

But seriously, the following will be just as effective:
On Tuesday, a group of Democratic New York state senators sent a letter urging the New York state comptroller to divest the state pension fund’s position in Tesla amid the company’s stock volatility. And last month Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, sent a letter to some of the union’s biggest asset managers asking them to review Tesla’s current valuation.
“We don’t want the retirees to be holding the bag,” Weingarten told me. “Here you have us being really concerned about retirement security and about pensions, and a lot of it triggered because Tesla holdings are a big piece of a lot of retirement systems.”
Weingarten stressed that this was purely about protecting union members’ retirement funds, not about politics. But it’s hard to read it that way. The #TeslaTakedown movement has taken off among critics of the administration who view it as one of the only effective ways to make the president and his copilot feel a modicum of pain for the policies they’ve pushed.
“We need to make sure our pension fund is stellar and represents good corporate governance,” New York state Senator Patricia Fahy, who spearheaded the letter to the comptroller, told The Bulwark in a phone interview. “But also, the goal is to bring attention to somebody who I think is raising a lot of concerns, the CEO Elon Musk, on a whole host of issues at the federal level.”

So you *do* support violence. It’s okay to admit that; you have a lot of company on the board - witness the number of folks cheering the hanging post from the other day plus all those who…let’s just say we’re unhappy that Trump turned his head when he did.
Glad you brought up “the point”. You political orientation has no point.
It has no structure.
It has no driving philosophy.
It has no guiding principles save one: Power. The power to dominate your opponents.
Look how triggered you people get when you lose an election or someone dares voice an opinion outside your leftist orthodoxy - for a collection of supposed atheists, the zeal for progressive politics heal is more intense than most religious cults.
Ironic, that.

But storming the Capitol and killing cops is just fine. Trying to overturn a legitimate election is just fine.
You Trumpers are just plain nuts.
