I joined a group of 10 on the highway in front of a Tesla dealership in Paramus, NJ during rush hour yesterday. Maybe eight signs between us. Stuff like (F)Elon, Resist, etc. And four lanes of highway traffic were loaded with cars and trucks.
And we waved at the traffic, smiling.
And I'm reporting that (estimating) 60-70% of the cars honked, gave us a reciprocal wave, thumbs up, big smiles, etc. The best response was from the big rig trucks that blew their horns long and loud.
Oh yeah, there were a nominal number of cars that gave us the finger/the bird or a thumbs-down, and swore at us. Some were MAGAs I would imagine. A lot of them seemed like young punks who have no idea what's going on, but they like to be punks.
And TESLA employees had their camera-phones out, but I don't know why. They could only get the back of our heads.
We WERE going to protest today, but we got a heads-up that a PRO-TESLA group was coming at our usual time today, and we didn't want to distract from our message.
My message to you is there are a LOT OF folks who agree with us, to protest TSF and Musk. They may not be on DU. They may not show up to protest. But trust me, they are with us.

Made me think of the adage that a letter to a Congressperson etc often represents say 10 people who might want to write, but don't.
So you're like repping 10 other people who might think about protesting but don't. 👍
