And that person happen to be the most prominent figure of the Right.
But of course, many right wing prominent opinion makers objected the insults, lashing out.
And a plethora of religion leaders objected the trashing of christianity's most holy day.
Did they?
I have no idea of what if anything those people had to say about that post. But I doubt everyone, right or left, reacted to it the same way you have. BTW, Easter Sunday is Christianity's most holy day.

Being traditional doesn’t make someone an extremist.
No, but if there are racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) within radical-traditionalist Catholic circles, they are extremists.

They are a tiny minority. Good grief.

Anti Elon sentiment from far left is growing and becoming more violent.
An easy statement to make but I will bet the actual data shows that very few people who oppose Musk are engaging in violent acts. But perhaps you have data to present to back your claim.

Let's start with your first post - while the link shows that there have been acts of vandalism, the data is anecdotal. We do not know if 1 in 10 Teslas are being vandalized or 1 in 10,000.

Anecdotes are notoriously misleading - you yourself, I believe, attributed the actions of the 2 people who tried to kill Trump to "the left". That is not correct reasoning.

Given the anger and ire at Republican town halls (which have mostly stopped due to the angry constituents) it's also clearly only an assumption that 'the left' are the only people mad about Musk and the only people who could be committing these acts.

I have just shown that your first post contains anecdotes - as such it most certainly does not support your ominous claim that "Anti Elon sentiment from far left is growing and becoming more violent"

How about post 42 - you posted a link there.

Again, an anecdote.

Same with post 64 - an anecdote.

And that is it, as far as I can tell - all we have are anecdotes, and we have no basis to assess the true magnitude of the problem; any implications of a widespread or systemic violence on the left are therefore without legitimate evidentiary support.

No one is denying that some violence is being directed at Tesla. But how much really matters, and that cannot be determined by anecdotes.

It would be just as bad to imply that there is "systemic" violence on the left based on some anecdotal cases of violence to Tesla owner as it would be to impute systematic violence to the right based on the handful of January 6th rioters.

Shots fired into Tesla dealership in string of attacks on company since Musk began advising Trump


For the second time this week gunshots were reportedly fired into an Oregon Tesla dealership amid ongoing protests and vandalism against the company for CEO Elon Musk's involvement in the Trump administration.

The shooting occurred around 4:15 a.m. on Thursday in the Portland suburb of Tigard when more than a dozen shots were fired into the dealership, damaging cars as well as the showroom windows, according to Tigard Police Department.

Anti Elon sentiment from far left is growing and becoming more violent.

I guess if you cannot defeat a party at the polls, just burn down their business and harrass the people who buy from them.

It is unfortunate that some individuals consider violence as an option when they cannot defeat the opposition party at the ballot box. These individuals must be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of US law.

However, your condemnation of violence appears biased, favoring criticism of the left while ignoring violence on the right. Your message seems driven by partisan politics.
