This is not meant to say that cars matter or that they should be protected. It's just meant as an absurd juxtaposition of the hypocritical and bigoted attitudes of the current U.S. admin as they relate to their current actions and statements regarding the Tesla car company.
Having an understanding that the issue is systemic and that all people ultimately deserve compassion, understanding, and justice does not negate the threat posed by someone in that position. Showing compassion to a person like that, who is an active threat, is dangerous. Once their ability to cause harm has been reduced or removed, then we can safely engage with them.
