If a load of MAGAs sell their huge pickups to buy Teslas then I'll laugh. The whole thing of them 'running on coal' seems outdated if you check the fuel mix as it seems to be a minority source. Wind, solar, hydro and nuclear are bigger and those are all potentially lower carbon. Yes, building dams and other infrastructure is energy intensive, but it may pay off the carbon dept eventually. The UK has zero coal generation now and you can see the mix. I know some are not interested in facts and there seem to be efforts to suppress them.

If you live your life to 'own' some other group then that seems a route to unhappiness. Who wants to be seething all the time?

I saw that Ms Musk was crying that attacks on Tesla are not justified, but he is the one who decided to get political and changed sides. People don't want to be associated with his nastiness.

So weird. The Left also flipped from "Big Pharma is corrupt" to "Big Pharma is our savior" (and vice-versa on the right to an extent) in 2020.

"Tell me what to think"

Painfully true. People listen to the State of the Union, but wait for commentators to tell them its significance. We're so used to commentators translating/interpreting news, that we might as well just skip the news and wait until we're told what to think about it.

This is so true Meno. People don’t follow ideas, they follow teams. It’s like sports, but with more yelling lol. The speed at which opinions change when the right person says it is funny. Politics is just influencer marketing with I'll say extra drama
