Summary

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.

Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.

Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.

    It’s not that. The law will be written vaguely enough to apply to people keying cars or slapping a sticker on them. You should probably start paying more attention. Fascism loves to creep like this.

    This coupled with the Laken Reilly act will be used to disappear people. They’ll continue writing even more vague laws to classify people as terrorists. And the whole time half this country will just nod their heads and say “yea, makes sense to me. Those guys are bad guys”. At least until they come for them or someone they know personally.

    If they revoke your greencard then they’ll use the same logic to revoke citizenship for immigrants. Then they’ll start revoking citizenship for children of immigrants born here. Then anyone that is a “terrorist threat”.

    Your history is correct. But this is not the same. Don’t fall for the reasoning given by fascist for why they want to implement new laws. Ask yourself: if the laws are already on the books to allow these acts of violence to be classified as domestic terrorism then why do they need a new law?

    It’s because that new law is gonna give them much more power while needing far less (or no) evidence.
