RE: When Hate Goes Mainstream. What It Feels Like Driving a Tesla Today.

Yes, very sad @ericvancewalton:
"... massively amplifying the cultural tendency to politicize everything."
We can legitimately be concerned about when this will end. And how it will end. The trend has been in the wrong direction, at least IMO, for years.
Even sadder, as this is the desired effect:
"... not because of the Model 3 itself, which remains flawless, but because of the growing hostility from the public."
Fear.
"... something feels deeply unsettling about the direction this country—and the world at large—is heading."
We can only hope that those of us who would prefer to focus more on what should unite us, rather than divide us, will ultimately prevail.

It's very frustrating to watch it all unravel. Anyone who is a student of history can pretty much see how this ends if we stay on the current course. We definitely need unity.
Very good, @ericvancewalton:
I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, the word 'student' raises another sad topic, given how seemingly poorly educated so many people are about so much ...
Thank you for writing this post. And at least supporting our freedom of expression to discuss this issue. The people who you reference in it have no discernible intention of entering into an open, honest conversation. Rather they are focused on shutting it down. Using intimidation, force, i.e. whatever it takes to prevail.
We'll see what consequences follow these actions. Life lessons are (or at least should be) clear enough. If they are no consequences to this type of behavior, then it will likely get worse.
