One of the hardest things to do, especially when you’ve got a million other things going on in your life, is to think about the political tactics of people you don’t agree with. If you’re a conservative with a full-time job for example, it’s hard enough to keep track of what Republican politicians are saying, and what policies they’re implementing. It’s even harder to track what’s going on with the other side — especially since, if we’re being honest, we usually don’t want to think about it.
But there’s a significant change in tactics that’s taken place recently on the Left in this country that, at this point, cannot be ignored. We’ve known for a while that the Left is now, once again, openly celebrating political violence. That’s been obvious since the BLM era. What’s changing, more recently, is that the Left is becoming far more targeted in its attacks. Instead of torching random car lots in Kenosha and shooting security guards in St. Louis to demonstrate their solidarity with George Floyd, Leftists are now becoming more specific, if not necessarily discerning. Like all terrorists, they’re carefully choosing their victims, to maximize political impact. They tried to assassinate Trump twice, as we all remember. And now that Trump, as president, has the full protection of the Secret Service, they’re unleashing targeted violent attacks on people they perceive to be supporters of Trump, or enemies of their ideology. That started with the murder of the UnitedHealthCare CEO, but as we predicted, it’s not stopping there. We’re entering a potentially long-lasting phase of deliberate, targeted Left-wing terrorism in this country — like the Weather Underground, on steroids.
This is a change that is not happening by accident. In some cases, it’s coordinated and deliberate — and it’s very well-funded. But I want to start by highlighting exactly what’s happening, because for the most part, the national news media isn’t doing so. All across the country, Kamala Harris voters have made the conscious decision to attack anyone who owns a Tesla, or who works at Tesla. I’m not talking about one or two people here. I’m talking about mobs of Democrats who are assaulting other people, in public, because of their perceived political views.
WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show
You may have seen the footage of shootings, firebombings and riots that have taken place at Tesla stores all over the country. And I’ll get to that in a second. But some of the most remarkable footage in this respect comes from New Orleans, this past Mardi Gras weekend. As part of the “Orpheus” parade, five Tesla Cybertrucks were carrying passengers through Uptown New Orleans. As the vehicles passed, for several miles, onlookers pelted the trucks with objects they found on the street — everything from beads to road barriers. At one point, a man charged the trucks and began punching the glass, which he ultimately shattered. He also threw an object at one of the passengers, after he gained access to the back of the vehicle. The footage from this convoy of Cybertrucks is truly incredible to watch. It’s like something out of a foreign country. Here’s some of it, as recorded by the camera on one of the trucks:
Police were stationed all along the parade route. They saw everything that happened. But they made no arrests. They sat by, doing absolutely nothing, as the mob inflicted thousands of dollars’ worth of property damage, solely because of the politics of the CEO of the company that made those trucks. As you might have seen, at one point in that footage, a mother encouraged her young child to join in with the mob and pummel the truck.
Here’s what one of those vehicles looked like afterwards:
Check out this footage from this parade, this time from the mob’s perspective. And as you watch, listen to the glee in their voices as they throw objects at people inside the CyberTrucks. And then ask yourself: When was the last time a mob of Right-wing protesters decided to team up and attack someone, solely because that person had purchased a product they don’t like? Has it ever happened in the entire history of this country? As critical as we were about Bud Light, did any mob of conservatives ever chase someone down and pummel them for ordering a Bud Light at a bar? I don’t think so. But that’s basically what happened in New Orleans just a few days ago. Watch:
This footage is not the most extreme example of violence I could find, but it does illustrates how widespread this mob-like mentality has become on the Left. It’s not just a handful of Left-wing NGO’s who are pushing this (although that’s certainly happening, too). In reality, we’re talking about hundreds, if not thousands of people who are willing to make an American city feel like Fallujah for people who happen to be inside a truck they don’t like. And of course, this footage received thousands of positive “upvotes” on Reddit, which has become a central breeding ground for organizing and promoting Left-wing terrorism.
You’ll also find a lot of support on Reddit for the 41-year-old man who allegedly just threw Molotov cocktails at a Tesla location in Oregon, before returning shortly afterwards to open fire on the business with an assault rifle. Watch:
Andy Ngo has reported that Adam Lansky, the man accused of committing these attacks, is a Portland trans activist who uses the alias “Allison Tesla” in his activism (and his pornography career). Meanwhile, another trans activist — Justin Thomas Nelson aka “Lucy Grace Nelson” — is accused of repeatedly attacking another Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado. Justin Nelson allegedly spray-painted the words “Nazi cars” on some of the vehicles, and then returned days later with Molotov cocktails before he was arrested. So he was booked, then let out on bond, then attacked the same Tesla location again. Of course, local news reports refer to “Justin” as a woman, because even when trans-identifying males are allegedly committing acts of arson, we have to respect their false identities.
Odds are, if you get your news from the mainstream press, you weren’t aware of any of this. You didn’t know that two trans-identifying Antifa activists are accused of attempting to firebomb Tesla dealerships in just the past month. And for that matter, you certainly weren’t aware that a trans-identifying suspect named Ryan Michael English — otherwise known as “Riley English — was arrested just a month ago, after arriving in D.C. with Molotov cocktails with the intention of assassinating members of Trump’s Cabinet. That’s according to court documents, which state. that Ryan has confessed.
This is an awful lot of violence that’s coming from a small subset of the population, in a very short period of time. It’s enough to make you wonder if men who pretend to be women might not be the most mentally stable individuals. And these are just the suspects we know about. Just a day after the FBI identified the suspect in the first attack on the Tesla store in Oregon, there was another shooting at a different Tesla location near Portland. Watch:
These attacks aren’t just happening on the West Coast, of course. In Massachusetts, someone set fire to several Tesla “supercharger” locations, which Tesla owners use to charge their vehicles away from home. They’re like gas stations for electric vehicles. Watch:
Within about 48 hours, Tesla had this location up-and-running again. So they were able to recover quickly from this particular act of vandalism, which every sane person would object to. But if you go on the Boston sub-reddit, you’ll find that they don’t object to this arson attack at all. Here’s one post on the Boston sub-reddit, for example:

As you can see, they’re sarcastically saying that weather probably caused the blaze, and that it’s no big deal. Thousands of people are up-voting posts like this. There’s similar enthusiasm in New York, where protesters were just removed after attempting to shut down a Tesla store there. Those are protests, according to Elon Musk, that involved — at least in part — organizations that have received substantial funding from George Soros’ nonprofit over the years.
But regardless of George Soros’ culpability, there’s really no other way to interpret what’s happening here: We are witnessing a campaign of terrorism by the Left, which is openly being celebrated (if not coordinated) by thousands of Leftists using platforms like Reddit. And it’s leading everyday people to physically assault Tesla owners at every opportunity. This is footage from New York for example:
We don’t have sound for this one, so in case you can’t see it, it’s some guy running alongside a Cybertruck, punching it repeatedly and giving the middle-finger to the occupants. And then at the end of the footage, a police car appears in frame. And of course the officer does nothing.
These kinds of attacks are becoming so common now that it’s impossible to keep up with them.
Late Sunday, the reporter Jonathan Choe uploaded this footage of Cybertrucks on fire in Seattle, in yet another suspected arson attack:
No matter how hard you look, you will not find a single Democrat Party politician who is willing to condemn any of this violence. The “party of Democracy” is completely silent as Left-wing terrorists commit acts of political violence, all over the country, for the express purpose of intimidating Elon Musk and anyone who dared to vote for Donald Trump. And we all know why that is. They endorse all of it. The Democrat Party, and the media outlets they effectively control, have no problem with destroying the property of anyone they believe is a conservative. They also don’t mind destroying Tesla — one of the most important companies in the United States, which employs more than a hundred thousand people — in the process.
These are people who are not interested in progress, or the advancement of human civilization. They are the enemies of both. And, as if to prove that point, MSNBC anchors recently celebrated the explosion of SpaceX’s starship during a recent test launch. This is a test launch that, in case you missed it, included the “catch” of the booster rocket, which is one of the most remarkable technological achievements imaginable. But over at MSNBC, they didn’t even mention the booster catch. Instead, they burst out into song because the starship itself had exploded. Watch:
We’ve done a lot of segments recently about how utterly dumb and inane Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is. But really, all we had to do is play that clip. “If only Musk had more DEI hires, maybe Starship wouldn’t have exploded.” That’s the logic they’re going with at MSNBC. That is how utterly shameless these people are. Because as we all know, when you need to achieve something that’s never been achieved before in human history, you call in the DEI hires. After all, DEI hires are how NASA landed on the moon.
Of course, none of these people — even Jasmine Crockett — believe any of this. For all their demonization of billionaires and corporations, the truth is that the Left has this intense hatred for Elon because they see him as a class traitor. They know that the wealthy are supposed to be on their side. Elon is not only an Uber-wealthy man, but also a man of great scientific achievement, and he should be a devotee to their cause. That’s why they reserve for him the special kind of hatred that you have not for enemies, but for traitors.
Just think for a moment about the absurdity of the clip you just saw. The man is building reusable rockets, for the purpose of making space travel affordable enough that we can colonize Mars in the near future. The whole point of these test launches is to gather data so that the next launch — in just a few weeks — can be a success. That’s why no one was or is onboard the Starship. It’s a test flight. And these test flights clearly work, as anyone familiar with SpaceX’s history — and its progress in just the past decade — understands very well.
But increasingly few people on the Left actually care about SpaceX, or Tesla, or Elon Musk, or any of that. Instead, they care about political control, which they’re obviously losing. So, in some cases, they’re resorting to terrorism instead. And on television, they’re turning to juvenile, barely-literate criticism of a space program they can’t begin to comprehend. It’s difficult not to be reminded of Roosevelt’s famous speech on insufferable people like this, from all the way back in 1910. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.” I won’t recite the whole thing for you. But if you don’t know it, google it. There is no better way to describe cable news hosts who laugh while a man builds rockets to Mars.
Shut out of political relevance, Leftists are turning to violence and terrorism. They will only intensify their efforts in the coming weeks. But with every arson attack, and every insufferable segment on MSNBC, they’re only highlighting two things. First of all, they are irrelevant. And secondly, the men in the arena — the people who are actually committed to moving this country forward — aren’t going anywhere.
