The analogy doesn't even work.
The king wanted more tax on dry goods such as tea to the settlements. They felt that if they had to pay more for the same things, they should get a say in how they are governed. "no taxation without representation" When the King said no, that's when they threw it into the harbor.
DOGE is eliminating government spending on things that give little to no benefit to the country. Something Elon Musk himself is not actually doing, but he's the figurehead, so they hate him for it. Conflating dumping tea into the harbor with setting fire to highly toxic electric car batteries is really dumb.
Note that appeals to emotion, specifically hatred really rile these fuckers up.
Tbh, I don't even know where they are going with this either. Maybe a false dilemma?
Britain responded claiming the Boston tea party was an act of terrorism. And so the following America Revolution cut taxes & government influence even further.
So like, I pick option 3. Yeah those Tesla burners are terrorists and yeah let's continue revolutionize over taxation & useless spending.
They're saying "we're good and you're evil and deserve to be murdered for it". The words they pick for any particular sentence don't really matter.
