    From the US Department of Justice:

    Hate Crime: At the federal level, a crime motivated by bias against race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.

    So is their argument that owning a Cybertruck is a disability? Because they might have a point there…

    The President doesn’t respect any laws. Why should any of its citizens?

    It’s wrong to harass people and vandalize private property for your need for political vengeance. What does a guy driving his cybertruck to work have to do with your political positions? How did you become such terrible people?

      i think it’s valid expression of opposition to the very real rise in authoritarian and facist-adjacent ideologies. and judging by the pictured replies, these particular tesla fans aren’t exactly the most well adjusted or compassionate people.

      plus, and this is just me being staunchly “eat the rich”, it’s not like they can’t afford to fix it. the net-harm done is much lower when the “private property” in question is best described as a $100,000 toy.

      it’d be a different situation entirely if the primary reasons for owning a swastitruck weren’t either ideological, infantile, or both. but c’est la vie, it’s the world we live in.
