DO TELL:
I saw a Tesla protest in Sarasota, FL yesterday
All old people
All white
All similar signs
Seemed strange to not see any young people and barely any diversity
This entire operation feels paid https://t.co/1kAvstVVrR

Everybody is asking why it’s all white boomers at these protests.
People. There hasn’t been a Jimmy Buffett concert in two years. TWO YEARS they’ve gone without a Cheeseburger in Paradise.
It was only a matter of time before they started rioting. It’s gonna get worse.

OK, you’re not edgy or cool to say the allies were the bad guys in World War II. You just retarded. It’s literally the stupidest possible thing designed to appeal to the stupid as possible people. Stop being stupid. https://t.co/pqXm8Ttxie

They have no idea what they are protesting. Literally they have no idea what DOGE or Elon Musk is even doing. Thats what happens when you fry your brain on MSNBC all day. pic.twitter.com/lBAfAOycaO

This man holding a Canadian flag at the Asheville NC anti-Trump/Anti-Elon Musk protest could not explain to a reporter why he was protesting.
These people have no idea why they are protesting…

WELL, SOMEBODY SHOULD: 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT Celebrates the Ethos of the Sport Wagon. Long ago, I had a VW Passat wagon. Great car, great sound system, really nice interior, but it had reliability problems. Replaced it with a Toyota Highlander Hybrid at 50,000 miles.

I DUNNO, THAT’S PRETTY EXPENSIVE: Mega Millions ticket price goes up, but bigger jackpots expected. “Those wanting to play Mega Millions now have to pay more for a ticket — the next drawing in the multi-state lottery will cost $5, more than double its long-time cost.”
Five bucks for a lottery ticket? That’s a lot for an impulse purchase with a tiny chance of paying off.
RALLYING THE ELDERLY FAITHFUL:
Notice where today’s protests happened—and where they didn’t. They were in deep-blue cities like Chicago, NYC, D.C., and Boston. But in working-class swing-state communities, turnout was weak. This isn’t a national movement—it’s libs working through the 5 stages of grief.
