Ok. Why?
What's this stupid crusade against electric vehicles really about?
Don't like them, don't buy them, free market, right?
I get that little D. Trump wants donations from the fossil fuel industry and ice car manufacturers for his campaign, but why is it that all the stubborn conservatives are all over Facebook hell-bent on shitting on every post about EVs when nobody is forcing them to drive them? What's so scary about it? Progression? It's going to happen and they're going to like it.
The funny thing is that when they eventually need to buy a car, they'll buy an EV anyway, because that makes sense when they sober up and look at what is best for themselves financially. It's soo fucking stupid...
I have this aquintance who is into politics on the right wing who's posting this shit all the time. However, both he and his wife drive electric cars. It's like they just want to be hypocritical stooges hoping to outsmart everyone else, just using any excuse to shit all over the place thinking their friends will admire them or think it's funny or something. But it's actually sad. Who hurt them?
