But here's the list:

Shouts rang out last Saturday at the Tesla dealership on Tyco Road in Tysons, as they have across the country since late February when fiery #TeslaTakedown protests started targeting Tesla founder Elon Musk for his work in the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
“Recall Elon!”
“People over profits!”
A man shouted into a bullhorn: “Tell me what democracy looks like.”
The crowd responded, “This is what democracy looks like.”
But as the man juggled an anti-Elon sign, his bullhorn and a script with pre-written chants, the Tyco Road protest, its organizers, and its participants revealed a broader story about the #TeslaTakedown events popping up nationwide: the AstroTurf nature of the multimillion-dollar professional protest industry, with the footprints of two behemoth enterprises, a $12.6 million political nonprofit, the Indivisible Project, and the Democratic Party. While local chapters of the Democratic Party have put their names to only a small percentage of the protests, their direct involvement is important because it underscores the partisan motivation behind some of the protests.
While the local #TeslaTakedown protest may appear spontaneous and community-driven, it is the product of a well-funded, tightly coordinated campaign led by national political organizations like the Indivisible Project, MoveOn.org, and professional protest firms. These groups use digital platforms, pre-scripted chants, pre-printed signs, and nationwide toolkits to manufacture the appearance of grassroots activism, and the messages on Tyco Road mirror the language of protests nationwide. This kind of organizing is known as “AstroTurfing”—a term used to describe top-down efforts that mimic authentic, bottom-up civic engagement.
Critics say these operations mislead the public, distort the media narrative, and erode trust in genuine democratic movements by masking partisan objectives behind a veneer of local outrage.

We won a battle in November, 2024, but we’re in for a rude awakening if we think we won the war.
Everybody knows the battle has just begun.
street interviews show the actual stupidity of these fools. The same old rat playbook. Nice signs and shirts highly well funded by soros. When do we nail this F’ers a## to the wall
Just shoot the arsonists who throw Molotov cocktails......
Move on is under investigation, as well as Actblue.
I am in an open carry state and if someone throws a molotov cocktail at me they better hit mm e with the first toss, because they will he dead before the cocktail hits.
I saw on X yesterday that someone had a pamphlet telling them EXACTLY what to say..now tell me, if you are that upset about something but need a paper telling you why you are upset, guess what, you are NOT that upset..and exactly at 12 noon nationwide the protests ended, they worked their shift and it was over LOL now go home and wait for the check to arrive
Democrat Party goons.
I watched some video podcasts by Trump supporters. The Tesla takedown radicals are completely unhinged and crazy.
One woman was ranting that Trump stole the election and isn't the president. So the calm MAGA supporter said "So you're an election denier, right?". Oh, she went postal!
The rants, screaming, and obscene facial gestures were pure evil and senseless. This won't easily go away, these people are out to do more damage for years.
Project, and the Democratic Party
It is NOT the “Democratic” party. It is the DEMOCRAT party. There is nothing democratic about it. It is the party of national socialism and tyranny.
But here's the list:
Goons=Nazi Brown Shirts=ActBlue employees
Yes, “Democratic” the term, infers that they are practicing Democracy.
They are not, and only use the term to sway the uneducated masses.
They lie, even when they identify themselves.
“The USAID money should run out soon. “
Not if the leftist judges can stop DOGE. There are literally hundreds of other ways the left is stealing our money.

The fascist Democrats have forced me to do something I’ve never done. As a career soldier, three years of which I was a drill sergeant, I’ve never allowed loaded weapons in my house. EVER! Those days are gone now because of the America-hating lefties.
