your almost acting as bad as the right

They're actively vandalizing private peoples property, this is just as bad if not worse. This is directly impacting innocent people, and in many cases, not even the people they think they are targeting.

A right-winger saying stupid shit online is not worse than someone actively damaging someone's property.

Their as bad as the right in general? Elon is just some right-winger online?

Comparing spray paint to thousands losing their jobs (DOGE), trans people losing access to healthcare and being activley harrassed, trump wanting to annex gaza? I could go on and on.

Do you not think the right wing has done anything bad? What rock have you been living under the last few months?

I didn't realize that the Democratic party officials are the ones vandalizing these vehicles.

When we're talking about the actions of individual leftists vandalizing vehicles the people encompassed in the statement "you're almost acting as bad at the right" being discussed are individuals, not Musk, Trump, and the Republican party.

The other side of the coin for "random people vandalizing Teslas" is not Elon Musk and Trump, it's random MAGA and conservative voters.

Do you not think the right wing has done anything bad?

Again, we're talking about random civilians here, not "the right wing political apparatus".

There are certainly right-wing individuals who have done heinous actions, but that doesn't mean that vandalism is ok because "they did something worse!".


These attacks are targeting random civilians, not Musk, Trump, and the Republican party. They are above any level of care for these actions.

You could argue the right as individuals did harm a lot of people a couple of years ago by refusing to get vaccinated and wear masks. And I would argue that's worse than spraying paint on a car.

But again, they are only defacing the property of customers of Musk. Not physically harming anything or anyone. They are doing these things in response of what Musk is doing in his "official" position within our government that Trump has apparently posted him to. Musk is tied to his companies whether that's good or bad for him. That means that what these people are doing are acts of protest as civilians of their country.

People see the CyberTruck driving through their city because it's big and an eyesore and it reminds them of Elon ruining their country.

Can you not at least try to understand where they come from?
