This administration is very hard on college kids and with most colleges taking the knee, they are vulnerable

A protest movement made up of elderly white women is not going to succeed. Even if they are right.

Maybe all beige people look alike to you, or perhaps you need your eyes checked. Because I was there, and there were plenty of beige and brown and black people. People of every demographic - skin color, ethnicity, religion, age, etc. There were a lot more young white men than I thought - which gave this half-white woman some hope.

What they really need to see is voters voting for Democrats. That would scare them straight. But so far they don’t seem worried about it. I heard ine Republican strategist say that protests turn off voters. Bad memories of Democrats supporting BLM riots, lootings, burnings.


This is absolutely correct, but Democrats continue to ignore good advice.


This is absolutely incorrect. Democrats did not support lootings and burnings. They virtually unanimously condemned it. But Republicans continue to ignore good reality and feel they have to resort to smears.


it is not MAGAs burning Teslas. It isn’t even republicans. The arson of Teslas is being done by (say it with me):


- democrats.

Its such a weird civil war amongst the democrats. Dems are burning Teslas that were bought primarily by other Dems who smugly bought Teslas to demonstrate their Green cred. Weird.


You and your obsession with burning Teslas. No burning Teslas at any protest I saw today. No Teslas at all. The destruction of Tesla is all on Elon and he seems to be able to destroy his company all on his own.

Today was a lot of peaceful angry protesters that have lost a lot, like we all have and gained absolutely nothing in return. What a waste of an administration.

NO! Destruction of Tesla is on you, it's on thuggish behavior of those who think it's righteous to confiscate property of others and steal their time they spend earning the money to pay for these cars. It's making it "dangerous" to use these vehicles, so that nobody buys them. How do you do this? Your terrorize existing owners who already paid for their cars making them afraid to use them, wanting to sell them and creating overall environment of threat for new owners who dare to buy them now. Then you blame this on Elon, as if he is going to pay for damages to the cars already purchased.

You are full of cr*p hypocrites who are either too dumb to realize that EVERYTHING in your everyday life that you use contributes to oligarchy or you simply have no ethical qualms taking away property rights of others and using THEIR property, not yours for your cause.

Unless you are Amish living off the land and barter you should stay this argument out. You have zero moral ground here.


Wow wow wow. SO WRONG! Musk destroyed Tesla through his own thuggish behavior.

Here's what you need to understand: What Musk has been doing to America is many many many orders of magnitude worse and did far more damage than some handful of incidents of some rando vandalizing a car or spraypainting a dealership.

SIT THE HELL DOWN AND START PAYING ATTENTION, NUMBSKULL.

YOU are the one who needs to sit down and stay out of the damn argument. And while I do not condone the vandalism, that is the least of the issues - WE ABSOLUTELY DO have moral high ground for criticizing Musk and DOGE, FAR more moral high ground than you dickriding Musk supporting sycophants!!!


You aren't criticizing Musk. You are terrorizing other PEOPLE. People who are now hating you. You spread hate BECAUSE the tactics you employ to ruin his company are targeting already existing owners, not new owners!

In order to suppress sales you have to terrorize existing owners making it a "dangerous brand". This means you feel entitled to property of OTHERS. You aren't compensating them, you DEMAND they surrender their property.

You are a horrible hypocrite who isn't on the receiving end of this type of ideological warfare and never was. If you were then you would not do this to your fellow neighbors, co-workers, relatives. Like I said, unless you live off the grid and fend for yourself and don't use anything you cannot make yourself or barter with others you are a part of the SAME SYSTEM. Your dependence on everyday conveniences contributes to oligarchy.

I think you've misinterpreted this. Per social media, people of color are advising each other to stay home because if the protest is met with violence by police, they will be the first ones hurt.


Yeah, find someone stupid to believe this. My brain hadn't rotted like yours. There were multiple anti-deportation protests with people who actually have real risks who participated across the country. LA had a big one. You are saying again? POC who are numerous in DC metro area were "told" not to participate because of ICE raiding the protests? Because what? Everyone who isn't white looking is likely to be a recent migrant? Or even an immigrant? Is this 1800s?


Is it fun be wrong? This has been the case for weeks. They still support the idea, but white people once again burned POC in the last election. I think that was sort of the last straw. White people chose a vastly inferior candidate based on the color of his skin. Why would POC want to risk it? To help bail out white people, again?

It’s not about ICE, it’s about how cops treat black people. Look, we get it, you are really gullible. Trump supporters are literally the most gullible group of people on the planet. You aren’t going to bother to research or learn or expand your horizons unless given permission by Donald Diarrhea. You’ll blindly accept whatever the talking point is, and I guess today’s reality avoidance lesson has to due with the overwhelming support for the marches and protests. Your cognitive dissonance prevents you from seeing things as they are. That’s fine. I hope that you get the help you need.

Many brown naturalized citizens are scared…we are next for deportation after they are done with the green card holders. For my family, all naturalized citizens for decades, this country (our country…USA), was plan B. We fled authoritarian, communist regimes with no freedom of speech or due process for the shining city on the hill…we are now seriously looking for our plan C refuge.

Well, it’s a good thing that Fox talking point isn’t real. Feel free to have a look at pictures from around the country and the world.

Boy, Fox has you really worked up about this made up concern. I mean,
if you are afraid of people being mean to you, you could just let people know that you aren’t a Nazi lover with a magnet or a sticker. Of course, unless you ARE a musk Nazi lover. Then you get what you get and you don’t get upset.

I have not seen a single POC in a video of of people marching themselves with signs towards the Washington Memorial, I did see a lot of middle aged white men and older ladies. These two demographics middle aged white men and older white women were majority of people I saw. The only POC I saw was a jogger lady who didn't pay an ounce of attention to this. Whatever you saw, but seeing candid footage from citizen's app clearly demonstrates very little participation of POC in this protest.

Can you post the video you saw where you saw no POC people at all?

Dude, I’m on your side. I was at a protest today. And yes, it was primarily older white women. I’m not stating a talking point, I’m stating a fact. And it is entirely true that a protest primarily made up of elderly white women will not succeed.

Yeah this is largely a White people problem. The Trumpers/MAGA/ White Southerners vs. Northern Yankee liberals. If black people protest you know we will get tear gassed, beat and have the J6’ers and National Guard on us. I am checked out and checked into keeping my job, money and family on the up and up.

I am not the PP but if you are somehow justifying the vandalism of Teslas, you are just making more Trump supporters.
