80 Tesla vehicles parked outdoors were damaged at the Tesla dealership at Limeridge Mall in Hamilton. Canadians are mad.

Reason enough to invade.

If you were one of the vandals I agree it makes you look foolish to admit it here.

Be careful when you label "us." These vandals are probably Canadian, not Democrats.

The entire right (which is bigger than anyone gives it credit for) and many centrists identify this sort of behavior with "the left" aka Democrats, in part thanks to the likes of some of the recent riots etc. Its the reality. It may not be "democrats" per se, but many, MANY people will assume that it is, right or wrong. And that hurts us in the long run. We all know how fascist the right can be, but "see? the left is the violent one" tropes abound.

I don't know any vandals. I doubt anyone on DU (median age here appears to be +/- 72) has attacked a Tesla dealership.

Shushing people for giggling about it makes "us" look like scolds who won't let people say what they think - a far deadlier kind of bad reputation.

And you are helping to perpetuate it.

Imagine blaming Democrats for vandalism in Canada, where even most rightwingers up there hate Trump/MAGA.

As for your overriding point about anti-Musk vandals, it's not right, but...

Elon's company needs to go down the crapper. Come to think of it, Elon needs to go down the crapper. Or up into the sky in one of his 'splodin' rockets.

Also, I didn't deface a Tesla, so why do I look like a criminal?
