It is both sad and ironic how the flimsy values of so-called radical progressives and left-leaning politicians change based on who is in the White House. Their so-called moral compasses spin wildly when it comes to caring for the environment and fighting for us to use electric vehicles.
What good are someone’s core beliefs if they change on a whim depending on who is serving as America’s Commander in Chief?
It was July of 2023 when Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly proudly proclaimed his love for electric vehicles, announcing a $27 million investment in EV vehicles at Grand Canyon National Park.
“Upgrading Grand Canyon National Park’s bus fleet will reduce pollution and enhance visitors’ experience of Arizona’s busiest park,” said Senator Kelly last summer.
Keep in mind, former President Joe Biden occupied the Oval Office as President of the United States, so that moment the former astronaut turned lawmaker loved the idea of promoting electric cars.
Fast forward twenty months later with Donald J. Trump serving as President and electric car producer Elon Musk leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Because of his desire to score cheap political points against both of those private sector leaders, Kelly is now singing the praises of gas-guzzling SUVs and ditching his electric vehicle.
To oppose Musk, the Arizona Senator said he got rid of his Tesla and picked up a massive bus with four wheels, also known as a Chevy Tahoe SUV, which at best gets 15-miles to the gallon when driving in the city.
He boasted of getting rid of an electric car to buy a monster of an SUV that uses a ton of gasoline for power. How is that better for the environment?
Let that sink in: left-leaning liberals only care about the environment and electric vehicles when a fellow Democrat is President of the United States, but quickly flip to the opposition of electric vehicles and support of gasoline-guzzling trucks because a Republican is Commander in Chief.
Got it.
Left wing lunatics are going way farther than Senator Kelly in their “fight” against Elon Musk and his mission to weed out fraud, waste, and abuse within the walls of the federal government.
Some are dropping their drawers on Tesla vehicles, which proves deranged extremists suffer from severe mental illness to go to that length to send a message to Elon Musk.
Trust me, Musk and all of America got your message loud and clear: Trump and Musk Derangement Syndrome is a severe mental illness.
Other Musk and Tesla protestors engage in violence by keying and even burning down Teslas parked on the street.
Some websites are giving the home addresses of Tesla owners and DOGE employees, while late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel justified the tossing of Molotov cocktails at Musk’s car dealerships due to the DOGE leader’s support of reducing the bloated bureaucracy known as the federal government.
“When you pull out a chainsaw to celebrate firing thousands of people, they get mad,” said Kimmel.
Three thugs arrested for torching Tesla dealerships and charging stations now face 20 years in prison and being charged by the feds as domestic terrorists. I call that a good start.
Democrats have fanned the flames of incendiary rhetoric and feigned shock when their followers act on it.
Look no further than Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer who railed against Supreme Court Justices concerning the issue of abortion.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you,” screamed Schumer in March of 2020.
Three months later an armed individual was arrested outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
According to NPR Nicholas John Roske was charged with "attempts to kidnap or murder, or threaten to assault, kidnap or murder" the Justice.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) went so far as to falsely claim President Trump ordered a “terrorist” attack on the Capitol on January 6th. She hasn’t said a word about actual cases of domestic terrorism by bad actors and crazed criminals burning down cars, charging stations, and dealerships because they oppose the politics of a car manufacturer.
I really don’t understand the level of hate and vitriol aimed at politicians and business owners. Even more puzzling is how some psychotic maniacs act on those feelings with violent actions towards an electric vehicle they supported prior to January 20th, 2025 when President Trump assumed office as the 47th President of the United States.
Folks, the world will continue spinning on its axis regardless of who is President. Politicians come and go. Some years Democrats are in charge, some years the GOP has majorities of all branches of government. We will continue to experience ebbs and flows of power in Washington for generations to come.
To those maniacs exhibiting insane behavior towards President Trump and Elon Musk: you’ve exposed yourselves for the frauds that you are.
Stop exposing yourself, literally and figuratively, put the flaming fireball down, stop keying cars, get a job, get off the couch in your mom’s basement, and by all means stop torching the very same electric cars you wanted the government to mandate me to buy just a few months ago.
If you were smart, and you’re not, you’d channel that energy toward electing like-minded madmen and madwomen to change the course of governance in our nation’s capital.
It’s what Republicans did very well following Joe Biden taking the Oath of Office and becoming President. We organized, registered voters, worked hard, and won the Presidency, Senate, and House.
Like it or not, you’re getting exactly what you voted for with the GOP and President Trump. No surprises there. How can you be shocked that he is gutting the federal government when his most treasured private sector catchphrase is “You’re Fired?”
As for Democrats, they are proving with their hypocrisy that you should live your life as they say, most certainly not as they do.
