Muskrat says Act Blue is behind Tesla protests

He says (without any proof whatsoever, of course) that the protests and destruction against Tesla autos and Tesla dealerships are being funded by ActBlue and "left wing organizations in America funded by left-wing billionaires."



And now they have access to our donation records through the IRS, so this is pretty scary. I'm sure they will start an "investigation" into any Democratic leaning organizations soon.

no protestors would have gone anywhere near your dealerships.

3. I'm a left wing Democrat but I decided to skip the billionaire part.

If I was a billionaire (or not) I still wouldn't buy an ugly car that looks like a squared off tin can designed by a fascist.

We are ALL behind the Tesla protests.

I don't think there is an ACT BLUE group in Germany, but there are protests there.

I don't think there is an ACT BLUE organization in France, but there have been some excellent Tesla Flambe on their menu.

So guess again, Eboy.

Meanwhile, he busies himself designing his own pretty iron cross to hang from in a melodramatic display of self-oppression in front of a worldwide audience

7. The Tesla demonstrations are very organic and have nothing to do with Act Blue.

And no billionaire is funding it. I went to one on Saturday at a Tesla dealership in Irvine, California. It was a very diverse group who were there to oppose Trump and Elon. I heard about it on Facebook in a progressive group I'm in. When I got there I realized the protest has been going on every Saturday noon to 2 pm for weeks. There will be another this Saturday.

And nobody gave me a check.

These fucking Republicans like Elon are always projecting.

And that everybody who attends any Tesla protests are terrorists and need to be locked up. They will do anything to scare us into submission. We cannot let them intimidate us into silence.

Notice the opposition always has to be put up to something. We have no agency of our own.

11. Ignore the bullshit. The intent is to scare people away from resisting.

And yes, if the situation deteriorates, as it very likely may, we are going to have to choose to accept those risks or surrender to the fascist regime.

There is no free lunch. There are always consequences.
