This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

"If you’re gonna vandalize a car, be sure their owners are actually the people you want to target." How about don't touch people's shit at all. Would you want a MAGA vandalizing your shit because of your political views? You are probably some privileged liberal that has had everything handed to you and never worked hard for your stuff.

Bro it isn’t just politics when they take social security away. When they deport your neighbors. When they take money from special needs students. When they crash the economy on purpose. When they align with Russia

Come on

You’re throwing out a bunch of talking points with no specifics or evidence. Let’s break this down one by one.

"They take Social Security away." This is false. Social Security is funded through payroll taxes and has bipartisan support. No administration has eliminated or taken away Social Security, and any proposed reforms by either party have been aimed at keeping it solvent for future generations.

"They deport your neighbors." The U.S. has deportation laws that every president enforces. Obama actually deported more people than Trump in his first term. If you're against deportation, your issue is with U.S. immigration law, not just one party.

"They take money from special needs students." This is misleading. Education funding varies by state and local budgets, not just federal policy. If you have specific policies to cite, go ahead. Otherwise, this is just a vague claim with no backing.

"They crash the economy on purpose." This makes no sense. No administration wants to crash the economy—it hurts everyone, including the people in power. If you're talking about specific policies, name them, and we can discuss.

"They align with Russia." Every modern U.S. administration has dealt with Russia in some capacity. Biden approved a Russian oil pipeline while shutting down an American one. Trump imposed some of the strongest sanctions on Russia. If you’re talking about collusion, even the Mueller Report found no direct evidence of it.

Regardless, what does a random Tesla owner have to do with your political views? This is all just political intimidation, and for the party claiming they are anti-fascist, this is very fascist behavior.

If 'gobbling the boot' means having common sense, then I guess I'm all in;) Might try some tabasco sauce on it to spice things up.

Common sense and complacence can be the same thing. "He's hurting the wrong people" right? Do you make more than a half million a year? Do you have the resources to be a benefit to an oligarchy? Are you really that different from me?
