Please understand that the Trump regime is dehumanizing Democrats the same way the Nazis dehumanized Jews. Trump is laying the groundwork to arrest, imprison and even kill us. History is warning us that is where we are heading.

Look at this promotional Tesla lineup image. The company's only true revenue drivers after Q325 are Model Y & Model 3.
