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.

    There is a lot of shit people aren’t doing because they don’t want to cross the line and become domestic terrorists. You do NOT want to move that line over them.

    Only people on the Left and Democrats hate Musk… this is what happens when a Republican is POTUS. The same shit happened when Biden was POTUS… the Right hated everyone and anyone associated with a Dem POTUS…

      Yep. White supremacists groups backing Trump and shouting “the Jews will not replace us” is definitely the same as destroying private property.

      The only difference is that the Trump told the proud boys to “Stand By”. The left couldn’t even get the Democrats to allow a Palestinian to speak at the DNC.

      Let’s not pretend the “far left” is represented in DC. The “far right” is literally sitting in the white house as we speak. God, I wish we lived in this delusional world you crafted.

        The Left literally is okay with antisemitism. We have politicians on the Left that are openly against Israel and Jews. Yet, no one seems to care among the Democrat party. I don’t condone the Proud Boys or Nazis, they’re all idiots. But “let’s not pretend” the Left is innocent in this political war.

    Serious question: Historically, has a fascist movement ever been put down without the use of violence?

        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.
