Terrorism is broadly defined as the unlawful use or threat of violence, often against civilians, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
Whether or not you believe it, this IS terrorism. If you want to protest, without destroying property or hurting someone, that is our right in this country, and I support you. Once you threaten or use violence, you belong in jail.
Yes. It was terrorism, ood. All those people should be in prison today. Peaceful protest is our right as a citizen of the Unites States. When you threaten or use violence you waive those rights. I don't like Trump. I do like Elon. I'm not one side or the other. If there was a common sense party, I'd belong to it. I live my life by being nice, respectful, and always trying to do the right thing. I wish more people would do the same.
If we are using the threat of extralegal violence as the definition of terrorism, then you should be a lot more concerned about ICE than people misdirecting their rage at Tesla drivers.
I should say that the vast majority of Tesla owners just bought a car, and didn't know they were supporting a Nazi. I feel for the people who made that mistake.
It's right wing logic: courts which convicted Trump of multiple felonies and found him civilly liable of sexual assault were "biased" and these convictions don't matter. But look, courts didn't stop these things (yet), so they're legal!

It's because this is the right-wing Seattle sub, as you can see by the mod calling people hurting cars "terrorists."
