In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of “Electric Car Lunacy” would “ROT IN HELL.”
Trump’s Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him.
The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against “THUGS,” which he said were more “evil” and “sick” than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.
Disliking electric car users that argue/vote against regular cars but also argue/vote against public transportation 👍
Disliking electric car users because ‘machismo’ tells them that they’re somehow weaker than the regular car drivers 👎
Or we could avoid lumping issues together.
Issues around public transportation shouldn’t induce you to dislike ev car users, presuming their stance.
Generally speaking in politics, stopgaps become mostly permanent solutions, and especially in the US change happens so extremely slowly that we adopted lead bans 70 years after all comparable countries
Hoping for a better stopgap when we have even better solutions is unhelpful at best
You seem to suggest that if we keep people from getting their EVs, magically you get your mass transit.
However, the reality is you still don’t get the mass transit you want and still contend with loud and obnoxious emissions straight into places you don’t want.
Mass transit and EVs are separate solutions and mass transit will never cover all the use cases in transportation. Individual transport will remain an important piece of transportation, even if we get good mass transit going.
