If Republicans could feel shame* I’m sure they’d be very upset.
* about anything other than sex
Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.
Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.
More trumped-up charges.
(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)
Arson, its just arson.
So are we suddenly pretending Musk isn't a de facto government leader who might be manipulated by this? (Terrible wording, but y'all get my gist. I'm going hiking now.)

If you want to abstract it enough, hurting Tesla hurts musk, who unfortunately is the government.
Not legally he's not.
I don't see how that's relevant.
That only matters if it's enforced.

Anti-Tesler Terrorism.
Thoughts and Prayers.
Full fascism
Property Police
I've seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?
I get this individual meme.....I just don't get the format.
They're standing on our moon...
The original is something like "it's all Ohio" "always has been". The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They're probably astronauts since you'd have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.

When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.

In an alternate universe where the world is logical, insurrections are terrorism and firebombing teslas is patriotism.
Firebombing Teslas is patriotic in this one
Really wondering what the discussion around Teslas would be if Elon Musk had gone full in helping Kamala win but Trump still gets elected
He’d be a hero who got fucked by tariffs. Instead he’s a villain who got fucked by tariffs.
Holy shit the call is coming from inside the house what a waste of a country
Anti-trans, anti-immigrant and pro white supremacy terrorism are still A-OK, though.
Oligarch is using the state for personal vanity project...
We pay for this and the normie is fine with it because oligarchs property is more valuable than his own 🤡
The country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority
- and so it remains
The network TV spin-off for this FBI task force is going to be great.
Law and Order: Special Needs Unit
As we say in brazil: "cagões" (shittest way to refer to cowards)
It'll be great when they see a Tesla that exploded because of how shitty it is and try and spin it into physics being woke
Hey Tesla don't know if it would work but if I see one alone at a dealership totally going to toss a gas rag in and burn baby burn like Gone In 60 seconds. Ok now that I am a terrorist can I get three hots and a cot for about 4 years, then sue the ever living shit out of the US government? Then buy Reddit or whatever and shut it down and use the rest to promote lemmy.world

Best they can do is an illegal deportation to a concentration camp
Aww, the dot world news mod team is gonna be so happy to know that the FBI is protecting their precious teslas.
Which mostly speaks to why this is "a good idea". People vandalizing swasticars was effective. It was a comparatively low effort action that people could do on their way to work or while out drinking with the gang. And it did an amazing job of putting the fear of labor in all the tech workers who "will just ride out the next 4 years". They couldn't just say "I am one of the good ones" anymore.
So... get rid of that and we go back to "This is horrible and I really do care about whatever issue we think matters this week. But if you worked just a bit harder you would be able to afford groceries so..." that we see EVERYWHERE (even on this site).
