You’re doing all the stuff you suggested too, right?

Protesting a dealership when no one wants to buy one is performative.
Where protests should be happening is factories because even if Musk has to shut down one day, that is expensive, and it’s expensive to start it back up again.
So what’s really effective is protesting factories and not letting workers in.
For a day or two.
Then leaving till it’s started back up for a couple days, and just repeating that. Make them open and close production constantly. Make Tesla workers tires of the bullshit, better yet make Musk fire them so they get severance and unemployment.
So:
Look at the risk/reward of what you want to do/say at a dealership. Nothing you put on a sign is going to change anyone’s minds.
To quote a saying that’s been around for way to long:
You can beat the charges, but you can’t beat the ride
Meaning it doesn’t matter if what you’re doing is illegal, cops can still beat you, take you to jail, and just drop charges 10 minutes before you get to see a judge.

If I lived within driving distance of DC or a Tesla factory I would be…

So, given that you don’t live near DC, what are you doing?

Spending a shitload of time on here bitching that other people aren’t resisting the way they want apparently.

I do protest in DC. Often. I was at one last weekend. I am unable to go into the city this weekend. I have about 2 free hours while my kids will be in a class, so I’m trying to use that time to participate where I can.
I don’t need a lecture. I know what I’m doing and when and where I’m able to participate. I am solely looking for advice on whether this one sign might lead to problems or not.
