If you can get people to disengage from basic politics (voting), then you can sway dozens to hundreds of seats.

I never understood this idea that someone feels sleighted for something out of their price range that they perceive should be valued lower for their benefit while complaining that the company is setting up prices for their benefit too. Is it grounded on facts or mostly an emotional response?

What is your definition of broken windows policing? When I google it, it says:

"The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes."

Now when you look at a riot such as the one in Minneapolis and in in prior cases such as California 92, how do you not see a further increase in crime and disorder once a subset of the population realizes that something seems to have gone unpunished? Even in smaller cases such as graffiti, an area tends to have a higher rate of graffiti the more graffiti there is in the area. The reason is simple, others came before and managed to do, opportunistic individuals with broken morals will abuse it.

Based on your timeline, it seems that Tesla was already, at least partially engaged since SolarCity's acquisition of Silevo.
