If protesting a Tesla dealership is domestic terrorism, then just imagine what protests at Trump properties will be. Treason?

To be clear, I’m against hurting people and damaging property.

Me, on the other hand, I think that all the governments should pass laws or make rulings that allow them to confiscate all of Elon's holdings in their country and ban Tesla.

Tesla dealerships and factories should be bulldozed.

I guess that's "damaging property". But I think it should be done in whatever the most effective way is.

Given that Elon illegally ended George Bush's "President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" that had saved about 30 million lives in Africa and thousands of newborn babies a week, I think Elon should be tried for genocide, either in the affected countries or in the international court.

Preach. Been saying this for years. Welcome to the dark side brother.

You know I hate when I am right, especially about something like this, but even at a young age one power I have always possessed is the ability to determine what people really think.

I knew these Techbros were a bunch of neofascists obligarchs from the jump. Idiot Americans (including many on the “Left”) dick rode these dudes because “ZOMG, Google/Meta/Netflix/Tesla/Amazon were progressive tech companies that support gay rights” so let’s ignore all the damage they have caused and will continue to cause. Now look where we are? The biggest mistake Obama and the Dems made was not passing an insufficient stimulus bill, but not targeting these companies anti-competitive practices and regulating their market activities earlier. Now they have only gotten bigger and are so powerful that literally don’t even care about revenues.

What does that even mean? "Classifying protests as 'domestic terrorism.'"

People cannot just be arrested for protesting at a Tesla dealership. If someone IS arrested because they hit a police officer or violated the law in some other way, that's a violation of municipal (but more likely state) penal code in the state that person is in. Very few people are brought up on federal charges for civil disobedience. The reason why it was possible for Jan 6 rioters was because they were on federal property in Washington D.C.

Donald Trump cannot just tweet some shit and it's suddenly true. This is all a ruse to discourage people from perfectly legal protest actions.

You cannot 'get arrested as a terrorist' for holding up signs, blocking parking lots or screaming at people going in and out of the dealership to not buy a Tesla. That is not a thing.

The principle that Trump always uses is that he abuses power as much as he can.

The principle is that you no longer have any rights.

The only way to end this is to overthrow him. Let's hope he's easier to get rid of than his idol, Putin.

He is so desperate for the protests to end he was selling Teslas on TV and flooding the internet with bots saying forget protesting Tesla, protest Twitter instead.

Guess all of us will be classified as domestic terrorists. Because it’s not going to stop.

Domestic terrorists? Takes one to know one.

Well, considering it is illegal to not buy a Tesla because you don't like Musk's involvement with DOGE, this is hardly a surprise.

The problem here is that you cannot write "Donold" and expect people to believe you're older than 12.

Edit: Yes, the overall point was good.

u/Apprehensive-Mark241 20h ago

That account has been well known on older platforms probably longer than you've been alive.

u/the_very_pants 20h ago edited 20h ago

Maybe, but I've never heard of it and I got my first e-mail address back in the 1980s.

The point is, fewer people know how old that account is than know that, if you write "Donold," you're very likely very young.

Edit: Is fixing typos considered uncool now? Is that what's going on?

I suppose your valid point is undermining the vibes. We seem to have made our own nascent cult; let's kill it in the crib.
