So when someone burns a Tesla, it's an "attack", but when someone shoots up a Democratic office it's just "shot at"?

Oh let's not forget that this is "terrorism", but killing 6 people at a Democratic political event, or storming Congress and killing cops, or white supremacists mass murdering black people at churches and grocery stores aren't.

As horrible as this is, the hypocrisy is what pisses me off the most. Absolutely rubbing salt into the fact that these people are political targets

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

The hypocrisy is the point.

It's a power move.

This is what a lawless fascist dictatorship looks like.

The end of America is starting with a rapist nearing the end of his pathetic life and burning it all the ground on the way out.

I try to not be hyperbolic, but this is just the tip of a titanic sized iceberg of possibilities.

everything else you said totally tracks for america - "land of the free and home of the brave"®™

Notice how every time Musk is criticized for being a toxic piece of shit, one of his parents or some other authority figure sticks up for him?

Guaranteed that that's the way it's been his entire life, and that's why he's never outgrown being a petulant, reckless, self-absorbed, blameshifting teenage edgelord.

Next up, protesters in front of Tesla dealerships will be labelled "attackers".

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago

If you're gonna be sent to an intermittent camp as a terrorist for torching a car what onus is there to just stick to the car?

They didn't really think this one through, did they?

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

They can't arrest all of us. They are fast tracking White peoples version of the BLM protests. Tesla properties and cars are just practice.

The thing that gets me here is like... MAGA crowd hates EVs?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

They love money. They literally worship money. Musk and trump are like clergymen to them.

They still haven't figured out how to put the 9/11 people through the justice system because it's not a punishment machine like they want for "terrorism". Not sure why any judge would approve this particular punishment request, seeing as it's basically selling them into indentured servitude outside their own jurisdiction. For any loonies that would, it would then need to get through appeals courts first. Submit the many public condemnations that threaten unconstitutional punishments as evidence.

Our glorious leader knows what is best I am sure this will lower egg prices this time.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Please do it so we can revolt as a mostly unified people - (we know the die hard maga folks will probably be celebrating until the crosshairs of trump cover them as well)
