A big thank you to those of you can go out every weekend as the crowds get larger to protest Trump and Elon. If I didn’t have to stay 24/7 with a special needs daughter, I would be out there with you. That said, it would be really nice when I drive into U-Village off of 45th in the Tesla that I bought several years ago to try and help the planet, and that has anti-Elon stickers on the back, if you didn’t look at me and my daughter and hold up one-finger salute signs or “shame” signs. I’m actually on your side, and I imagine most people in Seattle driving Teslas bought them before the fascists took over the White House, and in this area are likely to be left-leaning voters. Hate Elon all you want, I am with you. But be smart enough to know that not everyone who drives a Tesla, especially an old scratched one like mine, somehow supports that idiot or deserves having you wrongfully shaming them and their family in public. And if your response is I should have to take a huge loss and take on payments to buy a different car, maybe when everyone else who is out protesting and still drives a fossil fuel car switches to some zero emission car we can talk. Not all of us can afford to take the huge loss from the “Elon effect” and have to buy a new car when they’ve paid their old one off. Maybe the solution is just being decent to people who drive by when you don’t really know their situation or point of view.
