Are Daily Arson Attacks on Tesla Just More “New Normal”?

During the alleged pandemic, people began using the term “new normal” as if that phrase was itself normal and unremarkable.

Millions of us watched as the people we thought we knew—our spouses, parents, children—immediately buckled under to a world none of us signed up for. Governor issues an illegal order telling state residents they can’t walk outside on the street with someone who doesn’t live with them? No protest, just a shrug and “new normal.”

The president gets on television and vocally yells at people who refuse experimental vaccines, saying his patience is wearing out with Americans? Shrug and “new normal.”

The phrase “new normal” struck fear in those of us who were paying attention to what was going on. We knew that this signaled docility and compliance among our countrymen. We correctly predicted that the majority of Americans would forgo their constitutional rights, and they’d tattle on their own family members who broke any “new normal” decree. 

We’re still living in new normal, and the definition is expanding. New normal now includes leftist violence and property destruction any time the hard left doesn’t like a person or policy. Violent “activists” learned during the BLM riots of 2020 that they could, in fact, get away with burning buildings, assaulting police, and taking over entire sections of a city. No one was going to do a damned thing.

It’s no surprise, then, that deranged leftists have been targeting Tesla car dealerships around the country for vandalism and arson. Our soft-on-crime-when-it’s-lefties policies under Joe Biden have emboldened radicals. On March 18 as-yet-unapprehended vandals set fire to multiple models at a Tesla dealership in Las Vegas. Police say they threw molotov cocktails in what law enforcement described as a “targeted attack.” This is just the latest in a series of arson and vandalism attacks at Tesla dealerships. Why? Because leftist radicals hate the owner of Tesla, Elon Musk. 

And in new normal times, if you hate someone enough, you’re allowed to hurt them or destroy their property. Seriously, readers: It’s not normal to see “another attack on a car dealership” in the news every single day. 

Collin Rugg broke the news on X/Twitter, including video of the burning cars:

Social media users are wise to what’s going on:

Isn’t it weird how leftists say they love “clean, green” energy, and yet they target the biggest maker of electric cars? 

Some offered ideas for a just response to the vandalism:

WATCH: Chicago Businesses Prepare for Fiery But Peaceful DNC

Chicago businesses are battening down the hatches as the Democratic National Convention rolls into town, bracing for a potential storm of liberal chaos that was conspicuously absent during the Republican National Convention.

Liberals Bring Chaos, Conservatives Bring Calm

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) descends upon Chicago, business owners are taking no chances. The Windy City’s Loop is transforming into a fortress, with storefronts disappearing behind plywood barriers. It’s a stark contrast to the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded the Republican National Convention, where such extensive precautions were deemed unnecessary.

Scott Shapiro, owner of Syd Jerome menswear store, isn’t mincing words about why he’s fortifying his business. “As we know, this city has a poor track record when it comes to protecting businesses,” Shapiro told ABC7, pulling no punches about Chicago’s Democrat-run administration’s failures.

Democrats’ History of Destruction

Shapiro’s caution isn’t unfounded. His store has been looted or vandalized four times since 2019. It’s a damning indictment of the city’s inability to maintain law and order under Democrat leadership. “We felt it was more prudent to board up, since our customers and their employers have told them to stay home throughout the convention for their own safety,” Shapiro explained, highlighting the fear gripping Chicago’s business community.

“We know from past experiences something could ensue so we want to be proactive and get ahead of it,” Shapiro told WGN TV. It’s a sad state of affairs when American business owners have to fortify their stores against their own countrymen – but that’s the reality of Democrat-run cities.

Lefty Protesters Descend on Chicago

While conservatives gather peacefully, the left seems intent on causing havoc. Anti-Israel groups are gearing up for a “March on the DNC” after strong-arming the city with a First Amendment lawsuit. It’s a recipe for disaster that has Chicago on edge.

“We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” declared Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair of the US Palestinian Community Network advocacy group, seemingly oblivious to the concerns of local businesses and residents.

As if the threat of property damage wasn’t enough, the convention will also feature a rogues’ gallery of liberal elites. President Biden, along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, are all expected to endorse Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. It’s a who’s who of left-wing politicians responsible for America’s current state of affairs.

A Tale of Two Conventions

The contrast between the DNC and the recent Republican National Convention couldn’t be starker. While Chicago businesses board up and brace for impact, the GOP gathering was marked by calm and orderly proceedings. It’s a telling difference that speaks volumes about the values and conduct of each party’s supporters.

As Chicago hunkers down for what promises to be a turbulent week, one thing is clear: the party of “tolerance” and “peace” seems to bring anything but to the cities it visits. Perhaps it’s time for voters to take note and consider which party truly stands for law, order, and the American way of life.
