You know what’s horrific and evil? Cutting Medicaid and social security for millions of people because your billions of dollars isn’t enough money to make up for the fact that you’re a giant man baby.

“It’s only a civil war when we do it. Otherwise it’s nonsensical violence against innocents!”

“Defending freedom” when we bomb <anyone>! Terrorism when they bomb us!

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can’t even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being’s life.

That would require empathy, which he considers a weakness. So he probably is genuinely baffled by this.

I don’t know if he consider that a weakness.

He’s a narcissist and it’s how they work, they just miss empathy and they can’t recognize their errors.

I was looking for someone saying this. He was envisioning a bunch of us poors fighting each other when he called for civil war. He never thought it would be all of us against him.

It really does show that violence might be the only way to get through to these people. Not that I would ever advocate for such a thing directly myself of course of course. But if this is the only thing that gets their attention, it seems like he’s inviting more of it.

It continues to amaze me just how many grown-ass adults have seemingly never moved beyond schoolyard-levels of maturity. This is like typical childhood bully stuff. And that’s before we even get into these immature manbabies actually have real power over people…

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

I’m not even joking.

So, I had to look it up, and first grade in the US is children that are 6 to 7 year olds. Which means that oddly enough, Donald seems to have told something true in his biography.

Yeah, that is actually, legitimately, terrifying. It also shows how insulated from reality these people are. They haven’t developed beyond being nasty schoolchildren becuase there was no impetus for them to.

Burning lithium batteries are explosive, toxic and released heavy metals.

There’s a limited supply of the materials for EVs and e-bikes but a huge value in replacing gas cars with these vehicles.

Burning these huge batteries harms people breathing the air in the area.

Yeah I absolutely love the video made by some guy, I forget his name, but it basically lambasted the “Tesla tunnel” in Vegas because for the same amount of money or even less they could have built an actual Subway train.

Yeah, it’d be better just to cease their purchase and let them sit, completely useless. A burnt car gets an insurance payout. What about throwing those giant stickers on the windshield that don’t peel off without ripping and leave a ridiculous mess? There was a Russian YouTube channel where people would do that to people driving on sidewalks.

Bonus money and business for car detailers? Lol

I would agree normally, but at a larger scale, it would cost insurance more to replace everything leading to higher rates and possibly refusal of insurance due to the risk associated.

I read that in snowcrash, didn’t know it was a real thing.

I thought Teslas (or maybe just the Cyber truck?) wasn’t insurable. I thought that was the whole reason Tesla has to offer car insurance, because regular insurers won’t cover them.
