The Party Line is:

* all protesters are paid actors
* dissent does not exist
* all disappeared persons were enemies of the state

And remember, only Bad People ask questions.

And got in trouble for disrupting traffic.

It was very well attended for this small city, a few hundred showed up - and I ran into seven people I knew. A women who I spoke with had spoken to the MAGAs and she told me that they were saying that we were all bused in from New York City by George Soros.

I would pay good money to go to a Tesla protest if I had to. Thankfully they are free, every Saturday at a Tesla showroom near you. Keep the pressure up, he is feeling it in the money-sack!

Thought it would be a great move to throw himself in with the Russian Asset. The Russian Asset that constantly told his cult that EV batteries are bad. The cult who would never in this life or the next would buy an EV. And the brilliant business man turned against the "liberal/woke" consumers who would purchase those vehicles. Yeah sure, it's the (not) paid protesters that have damaged the company and not the Space Nazi.
