Bravo, Andy. The people who are trying to attack Tesla cars and destroy Tesla are probably getting paid. The people who aren't throwing the Molotov Cocktails but still think Musk and Trump are destroying Democracy and should be stopped by any means are both narcissistic and masochistic - which is a psychological Molotov Cocktail.

It's easy to be a narcissist in California because of the emphasis here on feeling good about yourself at all cost to any reality. And it's also easy for people here to be masochists because deep down these people know feel unworthy of what they have. I've never known a narcissist who wasn't full of self hatred that they projected onto other people.

In addition to everything you list, one of the most disturbing recent examples of this is the fires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. I spent the first fifteen years of my life in Altadena before my parents moved to Santa Barbara. The beautiful house and neighborhood I lived in has been destroyed, as though a bomb was dropped on it. And I want answers from the Green, go electric people of the Democratic Party - why they have destroyed forest management in the name of saving the planet. And I want to know why the people suffered from the fires are talking about saving Democracy from Trump. One Altadena woman told me how upset she is by Trump's tariff policy, how evil it is. She's upset by this over her beloved town being destroyed?

Narcissism and masochism. It's a lethal combination.
