A recent “take
down Tesla” protest shut down a
road adjoining a Tesla showroom in Manhattan. Profuse swearing, including many
variations of the eff word, could be heard during the demonstration, along with
chants of "Elon Musk has got to go.” A banner being held up by multiple
protesters read, "Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy.” (Say what?! These agitators, paid
or not, are not rocket scientists. By contrast, Musk—and quite a few of his
associates-- actually are.)
Talk about a non-sequitur! What does
burning a Tesla have to do with saving a democracy?! If anything, it will
create fear, chaos, anger, and police action, all anathema to democracy.
What’s the next slogan for these
pathetic poetic picketers?
“Rape a girl, fight climate change?” “Slug a Jew, foster tolerance?” “Kill an
insurance CEO, preserve morality?” “Torch
your town, help local government?” “Ride
a cowboy, save the whales?” “Rob a convenience store, save the rainforest?”
Memo to the Tesla torchers: If you don’t
believe others have the right to drive the kind of car they want and to make
their own decisions and exercise free will, and you feel morally superior in
this belief, you are the problem. If you virtue signal by
mocking, threatening, and hurting others with whom you disagree, you
are the fascist. In fact, you are an asshat of the highest order…and possibly a
tool of Satan.
Have I made myself clear? Want to
“save democracy?” Push back against these repugnant would-be arsonists and
their terroristic tendencies.
