You’re aware that leftists can also be authoritarian, right?

When the Democrats decided they wanted to be the “Urban Elite Party” and paint the Republican party as the “Rural Uneducated Party”, they basically threw away Iowa. Iowa is as middle class plain-folk as you can get, so they will naturally align in opposition to the Urban Elite. That was a tactical error in how the Democratic Party formed its identity.

It’s wild to me how many people on here refuse to acknowledge this kind of thing.

Yeah, someone from the UK lecturing Americans on how EV infrastructure is just fine is rich. There are EVs capable of getting them pretty much anywhere in their country on a single charge. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t be able to visit my parents two states away without needing to charge halfway through. And the options if you have a family are even fewer and more expensive. There are six of us in our household. Which EV should we drop 6 figures on to get us and our luggage 600 miles away for the holidays?

This is true but misleading. When Musk invested in Tesla and became chairman of the board, they hadn’t even begun development on a vehicle. They just had an idea and had talked with Lotus. There’s plenty to dislike about Musk. You don’t need to mislead.
