Nobody that voted for Trump owns a Tesla. 100% of their clientele is left wing.

You're allowed to boycott. That was always allowed. Elon won't be bothered.

I don't own a Tesla. My life won't change either way.

Painting a swastika on a person's car or committing arson and burning dealerships isn't a boycott though. That's criminal behavior.

According to Trump, it's an illegal boycott. He's full of shit, of course, but it's alarming the president would say it.

I would imagine he was referring to all the illegal shit they're doing aside from the boycott itself. Like burning down dealerships and vandalizing cars. He would be right about that.

"Radical Left Lunatics [...] are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla"

Nope, boycotting Tesla is illegal according to Trump

He doesn't actually offer an explanation in that post. youre reaching.

What do you want him to explain? He said that it was an illegal boycott. That's it right there in his own words. Are you expecting him to just not really understand the word boycott?

What makes it illegal? You're not even asking that question. It shows how dismissive you are.

He didn't actually say Boycotting Tesla is illegal. But you said he did.

What exactly do you think he said, then? He called a boycott of Tesla illegal. What could the problem be, other than boycotting Tesla?

It doesn't matter what you or I think he meant. It just matters what he meant. Ask him. But since you asked me, I think he meant it's illegal bc of property damage as I've said three times now.

Property damage isn't a boycott, though. Words have meanings regardless of whag he meant to say. A boycott is just not buying stuff. There's no subtle connotations to consider. That's the problem. Either Trump doesn't know what words mean, or he's saying that intentionally avoiding buying Teslas is illegal and doesn't understand the law and constitution. Or he's a wannabe dictator with no respect for laws and the constitution. Those are the three options I can see here. If you've got a fourth, feel free to offer it.

Right hence it being an illegal boycott.

Trump isn't the one that called first it a boycott. He just said it wasn't legal.

Meaning it doesn't fit the definition of a legal boycott. Meaning it isn't a boycott. You're not saying anything different. You're just confused by the words.

It's just more semantic manipulation. The left is calling it a boycott and it's not.

There sure as hell is some semantic manipulation being done in this thread, but that's all you. I'm just interpreting his words as he read them.

Lol k

So just to be clear, you think people are being threatened with 20 yr prison sentences for refusing to buy Teslas?

This is just stretching. You're going out of your way to favorably interpret what he said. He himself called it a boycott. There is zero legal distinction on legality of a boycott. The concept doesn't exist. If it's a boycott, it's legal.

If he wants to talk about the vandalism, there's a whole bunch of different terms for that, and Trump needs to use his big boy words to refer to it directly.

He called it a boycott, though. No aspect of a boycott is criminally or civilly punishable. There is no such THING as an illegal boycott

What? Nothing I said was in agreement with that. Boycotts are not illegal

It's a boycott. All it is is not buying something. There's no reasonable way to justify it as illegal. That's the whole problem. There is no next sentence where he has a valid point.

Why the fuck do retarded people always think they are smart?

Conservatives LOVE cancel culture. Just ask the Dixie Chicks after 9/11. They just absolutely fucking loathe when it gets turned around on them.
