Summary
Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.
Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.
Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.
Great. Now I wake up a domestic terrorist and I didn’t even do anything…
“Republicans do not support the first amendment.”
They also don’t support the USA.
They’re traitors, and you know what they say:
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.
transl.: if you get caught redhanded commiting crime, just claim it is for patriotism or some shit…
Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don’t stand for anything and are net negative for society.
The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.
At this point, they clearly aren’t even for corporations or shareholders, given the most recent cascade of economic catastrophes.
This is the only hope for America not to fall, if Trump and Musk also screw the elites too much there will be much more likely a revolution.
Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.
I like it. Musky: a state of being petty or childish.
I’m absolutely down, we should start using this.

Serious question: Historically, has a fascist movement ever been put down without the use of violence?
It always ends in violence. The kind of person that creates these racist movements simply does not operate with a human mentality. They wake up in the morning and their first conscious thought is to benefit themselves, the second one is hurting others to benefit themselves. They are pure evil.
Not once the ball gets rolling, no. Plenty of Fascism has been averted through preemptive nonviolent action though. In fact, that’s basically how Democracy works; Constant nonviolent vigilance keeping Fascism at bay. But once Fascism gains traction, the only thing that works to get rid of it is violence. More people need to understand this. It’s like that Kyle Reese speech in the first Terminator movie.
“It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until you are dead!”
Spain? Not super familiar with their fascist history.
I think that ended with the death of their fascist leader and then a peaceful transition towards democracy. So it can happen but only if your leader dies and the successor wants to reform the country back to democracy.
Stares JD Vanceily yeah we don’t have that
So much violence in Francos regime. Between 100,000 and 200,000 killed, with 500,000 fleeing into france. Absolute bloodbath. May he rot in hell forever.
I thought I had heard that, but again, Spanish history past Christopher Columbus isn’t really taught in the US.
Its too bad because world history is chock full of great stories about humanity. And US history is often boring and contrived propoganda.
We’re getting old enough to have some interesting history now. And in the last 30 years there has been more movement to bring to light stories from those mostly ignored. That may change now, since anything that doesn’t describe the US as the best… whatever, will likely be banned or silenced.
So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who’s supposed to be a free speech absolutist?
“You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t upset me.”
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You’d think they’d at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
And decided by the guy who started the birther conspiracy, feeds the pedo conspiracy (while openly being one), and told the world that his Presidential rival “turned black”.
Fuck Trump and Musk, they both seem to be real musky about being called out for being awful humans. Trump should probably be more concerned with what JD is doing to the White House furniture, going to have to get plastic sheets to cover them all.
You’d think they’d at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
That’d require the ability to feel shame. These dipshits are proud of their ignorance.
Not being republican is now illegal. Cool cool cool.
I mean they had to find some way to incentivize people to vote for them.
Bruh…
I emigrated from a country that makes it illegal to criticize leaders
only to end up in a country that is also about to make criticizing leaders illegal.
Just… wow
(from PRC to USA)
Come to UK / Europe. We’ve got universal healthcare and more robust democracy and many centurys long tradition of criticising and mocking our leaders.
you… want Americans to come there?
Y’all need to invite Canada as a special member
Torching and destroying cars and dealerships isnt the same as some critical speech… The title is just a complete clickbait fabrication…
Torching and destroying cars is already illegal. No reason to designate it as domestic terrorism.
If they are considered terrorists, it is easier for MAGA to justify sending them to the concentration camps in Guantanamo or El Salvador.
Is that the second one, with the 3rd trying to be in Costa Rica? I knew they were moving people to a more wooded area but I didn’t know where in central/south America it was.
If someone can’t say that Israel is wiping innocent lives off their homeland in a fashion that can only be described as a genocide without it being deemed illegal and grounds for a criminal offense and/or other punishments, freedom of speech does not exist. It is in no way anti semitism. Israel is a state, not a religion. Long before Israel was paying politicians in the U.S. for their states best interests whether for the good of humanity or not, Jewish people existed, and long after the U.S. and Israel are gone, Judiasm will likely be here. Judiasm isn’t asking them to murder children, politicians are ordering it.
Oh they’re including the people holding signs.
I say we declare the GOP a terrorist group.
They did declare themselves that at one of the CPACs, so only seems fair to make it official.

What a bunch of snowflakes. What’s wrong? Are we hurting his feelings? The richest douchebag, who doesn’t know what he’s doing, with his head is so far up his own ass I’m sure he can taste it, doesn’t like being called what he is? 🎻
Fuck him. I have no pity for fascists. 🖕🏾
Poor Musk
from TFA:
go for the tires. easily accessible. high energy density.
Just avoid setting the whole thing on fire. Lithium battery smoke is extremely toxic.
Nice. If they’d had that as a color option, they might have sold more!
Next thing you know they’ll be calling democrats an insurgency.
They’ve been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don’t have any meaning left. So… totally on brand
They have been… In this very article they claim (with no evidence) that the Democrats are finding the NGOs that are doing this.

Quick history moment:
The US government has always treated politically motivated vandalism as domestic terrorism.
The FBI defined Earth First!, Earth Liberation Front, and similar radical environmental groups as terrorist organizations decades ago, because they spiked trees and burnt subdivisions and SUV dealerships.
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act makes it an act of terrorism to vandalize a factory farm or animal research lab - even nonviolent protest that “intimidates” employees is illegal.
Some of y’all are acting like burning car dealerships was protected speech before Trump. Come on.
It’s not that. The law will be written vaguely enough to apply to people keying cars or slapping a sticker on them. You should probably start paying more attention. Fascism loves to creep like this.
This coupled with the Laken Reilly act will be used to disappear people. They’ll continue writing even more vague laws to classify people as terrorists. And the whole time half this country will just nod their heads and say “yea, makes sense to me. Those guys are bad guys”. At least until they come for them or someone they know personally.
If they revoke your greencard then they’ll use the same logic to revoke citizenship for immigrants. Then they’ll start revoking citizenship for children of immigrants born here. Then anyone that is a “terrorist threat”.
Your history is correct. But this is not the same. Don’t fall for the reasoning given by fascist for why they want to implement new laws. Ask yourself: if the laws are already on the books to allow these acts of violence to be classified as domestic terrorism then why do they need a new law?
It’s because that new law is gonna give them much more power while needing far less (or no) evidence.
This goes a bit further than that. They are trying to make spray-painting “ASSHOLE” on a Tesla an act of terrorism akin to burning down a Tesla factory. The two are not the same. This kind of law would make every graffiti artist a terrorist. That’s not what anti-terrorism laws should be used for.
