Conservatives seem to really hate electric cars for some reason. You’d think that for all the removed 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.
True survivalist/libertarian types have always loved solar power.
I don’t know how solar lost its space age coolness, though, aside from active lobbying from the fossil fuel industry to try to kill it. For awhile solar was undoubtedly the power source of the future, the same thing that was on our space probes and satellites.
I have old oil-crisis era books and magazines on my shelf which absolutely loved solar power and billed it as the cheap energy solution for the common man. Somewhere we went wrong, and I think it was Reagan (in many ways…)
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

Because there aren’t any “real” libertarians. Here’s what happens when people actually try that stupid shit…

Guy made the story into a book, you may have heard of it. “A Libertarian Walks into a Bear”

on the flip side, the further left you go the more you get people who hate cars in general
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.
