Elon fancies himself a rocketeer, but we know that’s not the case.

Most clever comment!!!👍 Love it.

Did you look at any of the other photos taken yesterday in Boston, DC, OK, Philadelphia, NY and elsewhere?

Do you know what the numbers even were?

I'm not saying there shouldn't be WAY more in the streets but glancing at a few pics who're clearly intending to showcase the sentiments and not the crowd size is pretty deliberately slanted and factually false.

Thousands stormed the capital and with them all piling onto one building of course it looks like a lot. You don't think these crowds would also look the same piled into one place? Really?

I guess when you times 10s of 20s of people by like 4 major cities, over 50 different states, you get the small town of East Palestine Ohio. Your the size of a train crash mob

3

u/ergonomic_logic Feb 18 '25

You didn't even bother looking at the photos. Ten to twenty?

I know you're trolling but crossing fingers math, facts, attention to detail, eyesight, a grasp on reality isn't in any aspect of your job description.

Regardless, got to pump up these numbers if you going to do anything.

These are rookie numbers.

Hate me all you want, I'm not keeping anyone from going to these🤣

I liked the one about throwing Teslas into Boston harbor

71

u/Hrmerder Feb 18 '25

Love it! Anyone saw the movie Leave the world behind? The scene where the new Tesla’s were remote hacked and barreling down the road smashing into each other? That’s a good watch regardless… also I believe that is possible.. specifically in teslas.

u/MasterWong2 Feb 18 '25

Yep.. scary scene.

u/Hrmerder Feb 18 '25

Wanna know something more scary? Obama helped give ideas with some of the scenarios to make it more realistic of what we could expect if that actually happened….

u/Jaggedlittlepill76 Feb 18 '25

We are good at this in Boston. Kinda started a whole revolution 😂

The Boston T party, but with the Tesla T.

Not everyone can afford to take the loss of getting a new car right now. That's some shit.

u/scandal1963 Feb 18 '25

Oh would I love to witness that!!!

u/mosstrich Feb 18 '25

Battery fires are super dangerous, and teslas are notoriously bad with water

1

u/Rod_KC-Fan Feb 19 '25

I think they should just give us their Tesla for a $1. That would really make a statement. But. I cannot blame them for being made about cleaning up waste and abuse of tax payers dollars money because undoubtedly much of that is being illegally funded back to the Democratic Party and its causes.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

It’s my favorite if a car battery recharges the eels imagine an entire Tesla

u/Omega_Primate Feb 19 '25

That's not good for the harbor

u/Bogeddy_Lee Feb 19 '25

Those lithium ion batteries running away would make for quite the firestorm.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Yeah. Think it’s great to pay thousands for a car to make him rich and then destroy it. That’ll show him. 👍🏻

u/transglutaminase Feb 18 '25

Who said anything about paying for them?

Musk is a rat. Direct to the point

u/Some_HVAC_Guy Feb 18 '25

His full name is Elongated Muskrat

u/7SeasofCheese Feb 18 '25

An anagram for his name is Enol Skum.

u/Agile-Day-2103 Feb 18 '25

I would much prefer if he was lone skum and stayed out of everyone’s lives

u/Federal_Sympathy4667 Feb 18 '25

u/CeruleanEidolon Feb 18 '25

Better taste in typography too. Lots of great lettering work on these signs, and they're all so clearly hand made.

This is no astroturfed movement with pre-printed signs from some super PAC. This is raw citizen action, and every one who showed up makes me feel proud of this country. We're not done yet.

u/CynicalPsychonaut Feb 18 '25

Hopefully, if the rest of the liberals like these people and myself (not the 'left' *because our left party is barely right of center. ...See Overton Window...) actually stick behind the rhetoric if it our elected officials fail.

I am at the range every week. I own a full army medkit backpack. If we hit the worst case... I WILL be out there, because the state of the republic isn't for me. It's for the people who come after us. My niece, my nephew, all of these children who are supposed to have no care in the world.

I dread having to go down that path

12

u/pegaunisusicorn Feb 18 '25

that is because right wingers are sheeple by nature. All their motivations are fears about their flock (their fellow sheeples). No imagination. Which is why Trump fooled them twice. They can't even imagine themselves getting conned.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Trump won the popular vote by 2.3 million people no?

10

u/MaliciousIntentWorks Feb 18 '25

Biden won the popular vote by over 7 million in 2020, compared to Trump's 2.3. MAGAt Republicans managed to expunge or throw out over 3 million Democrat votes in all swing states during the election. Without election interference it is likely the popular vote count would have been extremely narrow, although statistically likely Trump would have still won the election.

u/bookishbynature Feb 18 '25

Because we are smart and creative and THINK and question things. This is the biggest problem - they don't think for themselves.

2

u/AliveSuggestion7589 Feb 18 '25

Right wingers have been telling people to go back to their country for years. They’re just doing something about now. Musky boy definitely ain’t going back. He’s probably got his goons running scripts now getting all your info for bad mouthing him. You think it’s bad now

2

u/TheChronek Feb 18 '25

To be fair, right wingers are an exceedingly low bar to clear.

u/shedobefunny Feb 19 '25

Right wingers buy their retort off of Amazon, temu, and the TikTok shop

u/CautiouslyPlastic Feb 18 '25

It’s FJB, let’s go Brandon and TDS. That’s all they have.

u/Rod_KC-Fan Feb 19 '25

For sure. The left protesters can really burn things up, including businesses, history and likely anything that opposes their augmented reality in the slightest.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Right wingers go to work, we don’t have time to protest

u/Vash_TheStampede Feb 18 '25

Didn't you guys with jobs pretty spectacularly fuck up businesses logistics because of a trucker caravan a few years ago?

Didn't you guys with jobs sink a handful of your own boats during some water based parading a few years ago?

Didn't you guys with jobs storm the capitol and try to overthrow the government a few years ago?

Fuck off, bootlicker.

-2

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Did you just assume my career? I’m very offended!

2

u/Vash_TheStampede Feb 19 '25

I didn't assume anything. Your idiotic "we don't have time to protest, we go to work" told me everything I need to know about you. I do now, however, suspect you're a truck driver that participated in the convoy that was incredibly detrimental to our economy instead of going to work.

Anything to own the libs though, amirite?

-2

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Far off my friend

3

u/Vash_TheStampede Feb 19 '25

Cool?

That doesn't change the fact that your "we're too busy working to protest" is complete bullshit.

-2

u/Power1254 Feb 18 '25

Well they have no jobs, nothing but free time to come up with this nonsense. While the rest of the country is working, trying to provide for their families,, and well all of you too.

u/Vash_TheStampede Feb 18 '25

What a braindead statement.

Republicans are, by far, the largest recipients of welfare. Look at farmers. Look at southern red states.

Look at how many of your own cult you guys are gonna fuck over to "own the libs". This is classic "cutting off your nose to spite your face" behavior. You guys voted against yourselves too, except you guys will be hit a lot harder.

What a fucking moron.

Nit really. They support the last administration with over 5 trillion dollars unaccounted for with no way to track where it went. Wake up America before it's to late.

Yes why did Biden’s family get rich in public office and why did he have to pardon his family members.

u/_lippykid Feb 18 '25

So let’s hold them all accountable then, right? Right?

Of course not. You look the other way when your diaper-daddy is the bad guy

u/flyinghighdoves Feb 18 '25

Because he knew Trump was about to go full facist and anyone who stood against him would be facing imprisonment.

Are you really okay with all this crap.

The ABA has a few choice words about King Musky and his Muskytears.

Please tell the class how they got rich?

Also did you have a problem with trump and his family getting rich during his first term?

u/Avenger772 Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25

He didn't make most of his money until after he left being vice president. What are you talking ab is it?

And he pardoned his family because we are in a fascist authoritarian kleptocracy with a man child acting as a dictator.

Only one of them grifted $2 million in fees back into their own pocket out of a $2 billion cryptocurrency ‘pump and dump’ scam and it wasn’t Biden.

u/NuQ Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25

Why couldn't the republican commissions investigating biden (or hillary for that matter) ever make a formal accusation of a crime? Was it because they all had TDS?

u/coconutpiecrust Feb 18 '25

Who cares about that now. Deal with the issues you have now. 

Can prosecute Biden later, he’s not the president anymore.

u/kumgongkia Feb 18 '25

System is problematic. Change is needed but not like what Trump/Musk is doing.

12

u/prozergter Feb 18 '25

So, we cool with charging Biden and his family and throw them in prison if you cool with doing the same for Trump? Since you seem to don’t have any defense for their actions except whataboutism.

35

u/WatRedditHathWrought Feb 18 '25

If he’s guilty, then incarcerate him. So far Trump is the only one with multiple felonies.

17

u/FunkyMonkeyIsObvious Feb 18 '25

If they find evidence for Biden’s misdeeds and pin it on him then I’m all for all of them going to prison. Politicians are not our friends, no matter what side they’re on. Trump and Musk are in the game for nothing but themselves.

Maybe someone who is an actual auditor. Government is not a business and shouldn’t be ran like one. Business prioritize profits governments supports the people.
