    Because too many people are frothing at the mouth for violence and don’t have enough sense to realize that very obvious/important point.

    Edit: In before “well they should just sell it then!!!1!”

    1. I’d imagine trade-in values for those right now are going to be pretty low.
    2. Not everyone can afford to do that, especially with car prices likely to rise due to tariffs.
    3. Interest rates aren’t great if they have to finance the replacement car
    4. Everyone’s life situation is different. An oversimplified “just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you’re a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized” isn’t practical.
    5. Don’t fuck with people’s property.

      I think we have a lot of external state actors trying to stir the pot even more than it already is.

        Guarantee it. Thought my block/ban button would get a break after the election was over, but looks like election season was just getting it warmed up.

      This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.

      Also, who the fuck is going to buy a car that has a much higher than average chance of being vandalised or burnt out?
