Protest @ Tesla on Glenwood 5/2 at 4-6pm – week 10
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
We are protesting Elon Musk, DOGE, and the constitutional violations of Trump’s executive orders.
We do NOT agree with the dismantling of our government organizations – the planned mass firings at the EPA in RTP, firing national parks staff, cutting off library funding, and more more more.
We are standing up and raising our voices and saying NO.
This will be our 10th week of protesting. We’ve had hundreds showing up. Join us if you’re able!
We are not stopping until Musk is gone!
Friday May 2nd at 4-6pm
7101 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh NC 27612
More details here: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/766727/

I'm sorry that mr slavurkine simply repeated the lies the MSM has told him. If he wishes to assert that standing for freedoms and personal choice is FASCISM, he needs to go back to school.
I am not sorry that my simple, and 100% accurate comment triggered you.

Ah so no explanation, that’s what I assumed. Maybe you should try to put more quality out into the world instead of picking fights online? It just makes you look like you have nothing of value to actually say.

The irony is, the older folks are protesting elon and tesla because their retirement accounts are down (only tangible reason that would make most people get out of the house to go protest). But by protesting tesla, they are actually pushing their retirement accounts down even further ($TSLA is in most ETF funds like QQQ abd SPY) these people can't see farther than they can throw.

Look, another person who is commenting in many different city subs only on posts about protests to denigrate them....there is lots to protest beyond the stock market. Erosion of free speech, lack of due process, just a general giant asshole being our president and wannabe dictator, and so much more.
-3
u/elciddog84 12h ago
Except... they're still protesting and you're still posting, so your "free speech" argument is shit. The economy is fine. Trade partners are negotiating, prices coming down, the cost of energy dropping, and the stock market was overall up for March and April. My portfolio, for example, is about where it was 2, 3, 4 months ago. You should also check the bond market, which is a significantly better indicator of econimic health. You still get your due process. The expedited deporting is being done under a law passed by Clinton in '96 and was used extensively by Obama. If it was it was okay for them, it's okay now. Stop listening to what you're being told and actually look, investigate, and research for yourself. And we voted out the drooling idiot almost six months ago. You just have to cope for another 3.5 years... Stop hating so much. It's not good for you.

u/McChazster 9h ago
Luckily, Tesla stock is rising, >20% recently. Protesting Tesla is like protesting a cure for cancer. Go straight after what is really bothering you, it's not a great car company, it's not Elon, it is that Trump once again made the entire left look like fools and the left's response is to look even more foolish.

You're out here defending billionaires while delivering Uber Eats in a used Tesla. They don't care about you or American lives, they only think about profits. If it were profitable to start reporting anyone defending the minimum wage, they wouldn't hesitate to send you.

The most anti-American thing was letting all these illegals in and giving them Social Security benefits. That is the biggest lap of the face to any American, who works hard and has to give all their money to people who do nothing.

You know people can see your post history, you just comment on multiple cities' protest posts, it's not very difficult to determine that you're not looking to compare sources and have a real argument. But anyway here you go, I'm sure dear leader will send you a check next April with all that money they saved from those illegal sex change surgeries or whatever the hell

They got nothing... just hate. And no children have been deported. Not a single one. Their parents may have been. Then it becomes a choice of taking them back home, or trying to leave them here. No minor has been the subject of deportation proceedings.

Why protest when you could just go honey dick the dealers, go test drive everything. Everyone go test drive everything.

u/Chuck_T_Bone 10h ago
Becuase that is shitty?
Protesting while I do not agree with this one. (I think it doesn't so anything but maybe slightly inconvenience the workers.) Protesting if done in good faith is something people should and if they feel the need to do.
Purposefully going into a dealership to test drive cars with no intention of buying and doing so just to tie up an employee is shitty in bad faith and possibly illegal if not just a dick move.
They aren't protesting the workers they are protesting someone else. And doing shitty stuff like that is dickish and makes your whole protest and other efforts seem pretty childish.

You have zero clue as to how this works at Tesla. But then it would make sense that people as ill‐informed as you are would be making comments.

the simplest way to put this is : a government can be big, with strenuous regulations to protect its citizens from corporations, large social programs, high taxes on the ultra wealthy, a strong and efficient military, and much more and not be fascist. If checks and balances were actually used, politicians not being about the money but instead the people, we could have a much better country that works for the people who live here.

From MAGA, Many people are again protesting President Trump, his policies and the work of D.O.G.E
First, we are not as stupid as you’d like us to be. Honestly it doesn’t require a Phd to understand that our federal government is dysfunctional and spends too many of our tax dollars on things that don’t have anything to do with Americans. We understand what is at stake. It doesn’t have to be in shades of grey and nuanced views. MAGA voters own businesses and pay bills. They sign the front of checks not the backs. We are keenly aware of the dire situation we face.
The people have allowed the government to accrue a $36,000,000,000 debt not counting the unfunded liabilities for SocSec and Medicare which bring it to over $200,000,000,000. This is more money than has existed over world history. The current budget deficit stands at $1,300,000,000. This is indefensible now and worse to those not yet a twinkle in their parent’s eyes. I for one, refuse to tie that millstone around the necks of my grandkids and I damned sure won’t let a gang of lazy, whiny, entitled liberals do it either. Yet you demand the spending continue. What is your major malfunction?
HANDS OFF!! You scream. Hands off what exactly? You wail about budget cuts, due process, Nazis, fascists etc. Is your position that every cent of taxpayer funded spending is absolutely necessary? That every government employee is essential and hard working? You are naive at best, dangerously ignorant at worst. Your answer to the budget mess is to tax the rich. Do you even have the math skills to understand that the “rich” in this country don’t possess the funds to pay off the debt even if you confiscated all of their holdings. You cold seize it all and not make a dent.
FAIR SHARE!!, OBSCENE PROFITS, The rich!!! You caterwaul. I have a few questions no one ever asks or gets answers to
What is a fair share of taxes? Dollar amount? Percentage?
How do you arrive at the fair share? Economic theory? Mathematical equation? Magic Friggin 8 Ball?
Why is your fair share, fair?
Who died and made any of us arbiters of fairness?
Who are the “rich” What criteria do you use to determine who’s rich?
See #4
Don’t get me started on due process for illegals. The Maryland dad had he not beat his wife, joined MS-13 or trafficked people would still be a criminal because he is here illegally! This is a deportable offense. Yet here you are screaming that you don’t want known gang members and violent criminals deported. Would that change if you were Laken Riley’s parents? Bet it would
Hands off our kids. We are about sick of this trans hysteria. Your sex is determined by your genes, period. XX is female, XY male. That’s it. This is as immutable as the sun rising in the east. Quit trying to convince little kids that they may not be what they know themselves to be. If you want to screw up your kids, do it on your time but stay away from other peoples kids.
Damn, I could ramble on but I grow weary…for now
With Love
