Republicans help save planet, put out Tesla on fire

We have found out in the last few weeks that you can use gas on Tesla cars. Who knew?

There are many differences between the left and the right. If we on the right do not like Bud Light shoving trans influencers down our throats, we stop buying Bud Light. When the left doesn’t like what you are doing, they key your car and set it on fire.

The lefties committing this hateful vandalism have one thing in common: a “Co-Exist” bumper sticker on their car(s) leaving the scene. 



The right acts on reason and logic, the left on emotion and virtue signaling. The left is downright mean, willing to personally destroy, set on fire, Dox, and Swat political foes.

So until these whiny cowards get over themselves and stop burning cars, or if you cannot convince the local libs that your Tesla identifies as a Subaru, then park it near a fire hydrant.

The simple-minded appeal of extremism is not just about weaponized beliefs. It is about feeling self-righteous. The left is good about picking their enemies and vilifying them in their media and by their politicians. If they cannot get their pliable DAs and judges to indict whom they want, then they relentlessly attack them.

Proper decisions do not spring from anger and hate; workable solutions come from understanding issues. 

Libs bought Tesla cars five years ago as a performative act. Now they burn them as one. I guess their long-held belief on “climate change” was a lie.

Minnesota Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz, dangerously close to becoming Kamala Harris’ vice president, actively roots for Tesla stock to go down, even though he is the governor of a state that owns Tesla stock for its pension fund. Let’s agree, he is a dolt. 

By burning Tesla cars and dealerships, they are only hurting pension funds and investors’ 401Ks. Musk only owns 12% of Tesla; we own the other 88% in pension funds, individual portfolios and the like. There have not been so many scary public fires set by Democrats since they held Klan rallies, all mad about Lincoln freeing their slaves.

Further, if the left really thought climate change was a thing, why would they burn Teslas? 

Musk burst on the scene 20 years ago. Now his green cars burst into flames. He was the toast of the left. Yet, if you run away from the Democrat plantation, they send the bloodhounds after ya.

Politics today seems unclear; if a swastika is painted on a Tesla, you cannot tell if it was put there by a Musk hater or lover. Either way, the confusion is good news for Kanye. 

Musk is a modern-day Thomas Edison. With the courage of his convictions, he takes risks and creates businesses, something Americans have been weaned away from by our new bubble-wrapped norms inculcated in us by the educrats (aka, “Self-made billionaires bad, weasels who burn Teslas good”). 

Yes, Musk has had setbacks. When he launched his first Space X rocket, it exploded in only two minutes. To be fair, that happens to a lot of guys. It might also go a long way to explain why he has so many kids. 

The familiar left talking point, issued them by their overlords, is that Elon has government contracts which should end. Yet he delivers a product to the government it needs, like trucks and his valuable Starlink internet constellation. And he rescues our NASA-stranded astronauts, unlike the $2 billion the EPA gave Stacey Abrams’ NGO to buy appliances for a Georgia town of 200 people. I wonder what she is going to do with the $1.99 billion left over.

It seems the only voice of reason in the Democrat party now is Senator John Fetterman. You know things are bad when the most cognitive speaker for the Democrat Party is a stroke victim who dresses in clothes that look like he stole them from a Goodwill drop-off box. 

Absent any workable ideas, Dems will still just cry and “resist.” It makes them feel good about themselves. They are back bench, armchair second guessers. They are now demanding that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth resign over a no-harm, no-foul text thread. This is hypocritical of “celebrate diversity” Dems; Hegseth is Trump’s only DUI hire.

Democrats are starting to get it: They do not have a message. Dem leadership met in Leesburg, Virginia this past week to change some losing strategies, find some courage, and try to understand the South. A nice retreat in a town named after Robert E. Lee might be a good start.
