    Conservatives seem to really hate electric cars for some reason. You’d think that for all the bitching they do regarding how Dark Brandon is personally hiking gas prices as part of his pinko commie agenda they’d like to stick it to him and stop paying for gas, but no, they take personal offense as if an electric car is somehow emasculating.

      Honestly I don’t understand how the right hasn’t co-opted solar energy as a libertarian sort of grid independence thing. Seems like an easy win considering how much opportunity there is for politicians to throw subsidies at manufacturing in their states.

      They are paid to “take personal offense” by lobbyists. They actually don’t give two shits one way or the other about electric cars.

        Idk I see a lot of stupid memes on conservative mocking groups on Facebook that they post. Perhaps they don’t care.

          The people in charge don’t give a shit, but again, they’re paid to care so they spew the hate to their followers who eat that shit up like a fat guy at an all you can eat buffet. They’re really good at doing what they’re told
