Now electric cars are political, and MAGAs hate them
DJT came out against them, but I think he's actually reflecting from his base on this one.
For months social media has been bombarded by big burly men who would never own an EV. In any posting about EVs they pop up to spout well worn talking points about how impractical they are, how they catch fire, and we don't have the infrastructure to maintain them anyway. If I didn't know better, I'd say the majority are AI bots scanning for key words and phrases to deliver their anti-EV rhetoric.
And it's caught on politically. Now most posts are from MAGAs blaming Joe Biden for "shoving them down our throats", as if he's in charge of what global auto manufacturers build. These Boomer MAGA knucleheads are demanding Detroit go back to building 1970 GTOs. "Because that's what people want".
And it seems to be working. After an enthusiastic start, EV sales have bottomed out recently with dealers refusing them, lest they grow old on the lot.
But who's washing those already bleached out brains of motorheads who'd rather die than give up the pump? Who would employ bots to ravage social media with lies and innuendo about clean emission automobiles? Who could it be? We'll probably never know.
There's a commercial that runs here during the late shows. It spews all the anti-EV points seen on Facebook and other sites, that there's no infrastructure and they are too dangerous to carry loved ones, and that Biden is forcing YOU to give up your car for an electric emasculating machine.

The RAPIST. 
...cold open. Americans--the MAGA chud variety of them, at least--must be the most gullible people in the world. There it is on the damn TV screen, and they still fall for it!
