Just throwing around insults... You're very clearly not looking to have a serious discussion.

What exactly did I say that you disagree with?

I get it, believe me. I plan to do whatever I can to get my family out of this country if it descends any further into chaos. I'm not about to raise my daughter in a country that's so hostile to women.

I also think there's a bit of a misunderstanding. While I am generalizing about your average rabidly proud MAGA Tesla driver, I'm not saying that every Tesla driver is a Nazi. Telsas are, unfortunately, a symbol of a Nazi billionaire. That's not my fault, and I'm sorry, but I don't think we should ignore that fact.

I do think people should protest. I also think people shouldn't buy Teslas for the reasons that have already been explained. I'm not advocating violence against anyone. If people are yelling at you for driving one, I guess be more pissed at Elon.

Not privileged at all. I'm being slowly terminated from my government job, and have plenty of financial issues that are/will result. I'm also in no way advocating violence against anyone. I'm simply in favor of raking Tesla over the coals using the power of protest and purse.

Don't take a financial bath. Fine. That's your decision. If it were me, I'd go further into debt because driving a Nazi billionaire's symbol around town is a nonstarter for me. My principles matter more.

To each their own, I guess. You're the one that has to live with your decision.

Our country is imploding because it pivoted hard towards fascism. I'm not trying to call out well-meaninged folks in the process, but blaming fellow liberals for associating the Tesla brand with Nazis is not a genuine sentiment. This is Musk's and MAGA's fault exclusively.

For those who regrettably went Tesla before all this mess and aren't in a position to sell, put a bumper sticker on it, or find another way to show your disdain for what's happening. Again, you can't blame people for using tools like speech and economy. And, ignoring what's happening is a self-defeating endeavor that only results in normalization.

Lot of rage here, but you know the right answer. I'm a federal employee in the process of losing my career over this shit. I'm going to be financially ruined for years. If I owned a Tesla, I'd happily drive it back to the dealership out of principle, even given the loss.

Don't hate people for hating the haters. Musk is scum, and his products are a reflection of his undemocratic and racist views. You want someone to blame? Look no further than the White House and Musk. Don't blame true patriots who are organizing mass boycotts and protests. It's the only tool we have to combat this overtly fascist movement, and I for one am not relinquishing what voice I have left.

Isn't the better question, what can they do? I'm not saying Democrats aren't without fault in all of this, but now that the US has jumped the democracy shark, I'm not sure there's much anyone can do to put this shitty little genie back in the bottle. Short of House and Senate republicans having a coming to Jesus moment, I think we're all on board the autocracy train for the duration.

Tesla has become the official automobile brand of magastan. When you see one rolling down the road, or more likely stuck in 2 inches of snow, at least you'll know where its owner stands on things like equality and the new national norm of fascism.

Another amazing contradiction they never manage to grasp lies among the subpopulation of MAGAs that call themselves libertarian. I had a right-wing friend that freely professed libertarian viewpoints for years. Railed against the government for even getting involved in social issues. Now, like many of the rest of em, he's one of the biggest apologists for reproductive care restrictions and reigning in the press...

I'm not sure if it's the hivemind or they just really can't stand a world full of differences they have to endure.

Man, my fascism bingo card is poppin lately!

I just love the hypocrisy from republicans. They preach smaller government, but are always the first in line to take rights and freedoms away from those they dislike.

They may tell you otherwise, but their actions say they want to govern based on their own warped "Christian" ideals.

MAGA needs to unfuck themselves, and remember that this is a secular nation. You may not like who someone loves or that they worship a different god, or no god at all. Guess what? It's none of your damn business. And it certainly isn't a basis for treating people differently.
