At least burgers do something useful, namely feeding you. Do the vast majority of these truck owners actually get any more use out of their trucks than they would out of a smaller, more efficient, electrically powered vehicle?
A lot of the us is extremely hilly and dirt or gravel road. Id say only like 50% really need a truck though.
Unless they regularly haul, like, furniture, even people who have to drive on steep inclines or off-road would probably be better off with a Jeep or SUV (and electrical vehicles are actually really good for driving on inclines)
They are all the same. A f150 has same gas image as jeep and if you need to haul you have a bed. No one drives a jeep or suv because they get better gas mileage than a truck.
That’s not true.
Ford F150: ~17 MPG (https://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/f-150)
Jeep Cherokee: ~22 MPG (https://www.fuelly.com/car/jeep/cherokee)
Audi Q5: ~25 MPG (https://www.fuelly.com/car/audi/q5)
Those are pretty big differences, and on top of that most SUVs are also safer than an F150 (both for the driver+passengers, because they aren’t as rigid, and the people you might collide with). If you do need to haul furniture like twice a year, you can still rent a pickup truck.
Burgers feed you, they just do it badly (unhealthy).
Trucks get you to where you want, they just do it badly (bad gas mileage)
“We love guns, trucks, and big 'ol plastic tiddies!”
They do stupid shit like that because eating burgers and driving trucks is part of their subculture and they feel attacked, so their natural response is to lash out and be defiant, which is understandable. I don’t really eat burgers like that or beef in general, but if someone was openly criticizing my food preferences, I’d eat that exact same food in front of them to spite them.
Actually the left needs to be more openly spiteful to y the right in a lot of facets in life. It would improve things, even if it just scored moral victories. Like why don’t we openly complain about circumstances to their faces after they try to shame us into stopping, or openly wear pride shirts around them while open carrying or something?
Will you crowdfund me a plane ticket, please?
