Across the U.S, a multitude of protests denouncing the Trump administration and Elon Musk have taken place over the course of the last few weeks. From hecklers in Ohio to Olympia veterans to activists at the New York stock exchange, there’s a growing sense of trepidation amongst many citizens as Trump and DOGE continue to strip away federal funding for the likes of Medicare, Medicaid, and VA benefits in the name of “cutting waste.” One peaceful anti-Tesla protest in The Woodlands in Texas, however, was crashed by a confused and unhinged man who angrily confronted the protestors sparking a peculiar exchange.
At almost three minutes long, the video footage centers on an exchange with a random shirtless passerby who seems irate with the protestors who’re holding up anti-Tesla and anti-Nazi signs in The Woodlands. “I don’t give a f*** about your sh*t! I don’t give a f***ing sh*t! I want y’all to shut the f*** up about your stupid, dumb sh*t!” the irate man yells at the demonstrators. One protestor tries to reason with the unhinged man, “Sounds like you’re just angry and you don’t know how to communicate? So, relax.”
“You want me to communicate or no? Get out of my f***ing face! Get out of my f***ing face!” screams the man. “We’re exercising free speech, man.” responds one of the protestors calmly. Confusingly, the man then starts to get angry, thinking that the protestors are pro-Nazis. “Me too! Me too! I’m exercising my free speech! Unless you’re holding up traffic and holding up Nazi signs! You dunno what the f** you’re doing. This guy’s got your back. You’ve got these Nazis’ back. You’re holding up a Nazi sign!”
Continuing to attempt to reason with the man, a protestor clarifies, “These aren’t Nazi signs.” The irate guy responds, “Then why are you holding it up?” before reading the sign, which says, “F*** fascism.” Another protestor spells it out clearly for the man: “We’re against Nazis.” For a while, the man doesn’t really know what to say as he starts to realize that the protestors are actually anti-Nazis.
However, in a strange twist, he starts to accuse the protestors of being Nazis. “You’re the Nazis.” he says pointing at the man filming the altercation. “We’re not the f***ing Nazis! Come on, man!” the demonstrator declares. After further back and forth with the angry individual, he starts to take aim at the Democrats. “F*ck you and Biden. Fuck the Democrats! You just ruined my country.”
The final words from the angry man begin to devolve into thinly veiled threats. “I’m not unhinged because all you guys would’ve been hurt.” he utters intimidatingly. “That’s a threat, bro. You’re on tape, man.” replies the cameraman. “If I was gonna do it, I would’ve done it already.” the unhinged man fires back.
Most reactions from the internet couldn’t believe how confused the angry man was. “He might be the most ideologically confused person I’ve seen on here yet.” wrote one commenter on Reddit, with another expressing, “He’s mad about some sh*t just can’t figure out what it is“. Elsewhere, another chimed in, “Homeboy even confused ME what a f*cking roller coaster of a video“. Over on Instagram, however, one comment summed up the video perfectly, “This is the world we live in. People that haven’t been to school know it all!“
