As a former liberal…

I think the Right is fundamentally misunderstanding what is behind the current attacks on Elon.

I’ve seen a lot of rhetoric around how liberals just want to see everything burn.

This incorrect. It’s actually worse.

They believe they are doing true good in the world and that torching a Tesla creates an overall net-positive.

To get to this point, you have to fully believe a left-wing narrative about anyone successful and that is this:

If you’re successful, the only way you could have gotten there, is by taking advantage of someone else.

Being successful is akin to being a tyrant.

And tyrants must be punished.

Some successful people get out of the Left’s line of sight by saying all the right woke things, giving money to the right causes, sufficiently apologizing for their personhood… it’s strikingly similar to a religious ritual.

But there is nothing, absolutely nothing you can do, for supporting President Trump.

It is the great sin in the Left’s religion.

President Trump is so hated on the left, it’s nearly impossible to convey how high this level of hatred rises.

He is their literal devil, and if you dance with him… you are no different.

It’s upside down world of morality where anything goes if you believe you are fighting true evil, which the left FUNDAMENTALLY believes they are.

This is what the Right seems to be misunderstanding today.

The current crisis for liberals is watching an existential battle between good and evil, where they believe evil is about to win forever.

If you are good, and the other side is evil… then nearly every action to fight evil is justified.

Once you understand this, everything you’re seeing will start to make sense.
