The party of limiting personal freedom.
If I want to buy an electric car, why shouldn’t I be able to?
Because it takes profits from the oil industry, and we can’t have that!

Because you are only allowed personal freedoms if you express them like every other white conservative and fit a very narrowly defined picture of American culture, ethnicity and gender identity.
He says a lot of things. None of it is remotely relevant.
Biden can’t do anything because the president isn’t a king, but every stupid idea that Trump has is apparently going to happen.
It’s fundamentally easier to do things when Congress licks your boots, who knew.
Not going to happen, necessarily, but it’s brazen corruption and it shows you that he’ll do what he can to impede EVs.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Trump has told us repeatedly he wants to be a right-wing dictator.
He can want things all he likes. Aren’t we ruled by law? Isn’t that why the Democrats can’t seem to do anything? Why is that law so fragile when conservatives want something and so adamantine when Democrats want something?
Because the law works on precedent and enforcement. You are allowed to do anything if people don’t stop you. We’ll see if NY is ready to stop Trump’s bullshit.
This is the violence inherent in the system.
Because some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses.
Republicans also have a large and growing fan base, fueled by their strides to dismantle and destroy the educational system, thus making people easier to sway/fool, keep busy, and keep under their boots.
Pretty simple.
Ah, because Americans are violent idiots.
A certain segment of them are, yea. Don’t pretend the entire country is though.
If our government represents us then as a whole we are violent idiots. If not per capita then per square foot, which is the only metric that matters.
Total non sequitur - obvious troll. See ya bud
The car companies have already built the infrastructure for EV’s, this isn’t going to happen.
It is hard to believe this moron has a chance of being president again. We are a doomed country.
I don’t know.
I’m perplexed honestly.
I live in italy and here too government took a steep turn to the right since last elections.
It is like the most roborantly bamboozling idiocy someone from a stage can scream the more he gets applauded as the folks’ hero for speaking their unsung voices.
On the other hand if you try to build an organic and critical dialogue you only get yawned away as utterly boring.
I don’t think it is the ones screaming from their stages being the morons, well not the most moron at least, but instead they are those who give their votes, hard conquered from their ancestors who gift them with a life in a democracy, to these unambiguously unmistakable frauds, hiding in the obliviousness of the guilty conscience for their choice for the vote their own incapability of admitting their social self-inadequacy.
Lots of people are incredibly stupid. Many of those stupid people are also selfish and mean. It will always be easy to appeal to those people by blaming all their problems on others. Until science figures out a way to force on the empathy parts of our brains, we’ll go through these cycles of stupid people cheering on fascism.
If he wasn’t running, republicans would put some other gullible fucking idiot in office.
It was hard to believe the last time…
Don’t let the media and talking heads convince you of anything.
There are a great majority of people who want nothing to do with Trump, his Russian bootlicking or any of his other xenophobic hate.
Just vote.
He’s the Republican nominee. What do you mean by letting “the media and talking heads convince you of anything?” Based on the previous two presidential elections, he’s got a 50/50 shot which says a lot about his opponent.
In what world does the number of candidates have anything to do with hundred of millions of peoples independent votes.
This is just bad stats
In this world. He already won one election and came very close to winning the second back in 2020. Combine that with yet another weak-ass Dem candidate being the only other option and you have a recipe where it’s entirely possible for him to win again.
You’re comparing apples to oranges here. The circumstances have changed since 2020 and to ignore 4 years of hearings, charges, additional threats (much less vague now) and libertarian distain for trump is significantly different from what it was when he ran in 2016, and when he had that momentum in 2020 (Covid year, don’t forget)
Donald Trump is going to bite the curb this election and I’ll bet you a bunch of people still vote for RFK.
Yeah this sounds a lot like pollsters claiming that Clinton had a 99% chance of winning in 2016.
Biden seems to be going out of his way to alienate progressive voters and conservative voters will never vote for him. The ‘fence sitters’ who don’t pay attention to politics will simply see inflation and high prices and blame whomever is currently holding office due to all the conditioning and rhetoric they hear regarding it.
Any election should see a guy like Trump defeated in a landslide, but that’s not the reality we live in and the guy running against him is doing such a poor job that Trump might actually win again.
But the system is rigged so that a relatively small minority of morons can fuck shit up for everybody else. So yeah, guys, vote like your life depends on it because it literally does.
It’s not a relatively small minority. Trump has lost the popular vote every time he’s run, but not by huge margins. There are a lot of people that legitimately want Trump as a president, and many more that view him as the lesser of two evils. Don’t underestimate that and definitely don’t let down your guard.
And those of us who are voting and get elected will, and have been, continue to stop vote rigging, jerrymandering, and voter intimidation.
Voting doesn’t end at the end of the presidential election. It involves your local elections too. Especially anything to do with your local educational system.
Exactly, and even if it might seem like your single vote doesn’t matter, you would be surprised. trump won in 2016 because disinformation on social media convinced people that their vote won’t change anything and Hillary will win anyway.
Also vote at least every 2 years, it isn’t just the president that matters, the Congress is important too
Congress is more imortant than the president by the looks from an outsider.
How is the house reps elected in the USA?
By district, which is all the voters in a smaller geographic area. House Reps are up for re election every 2 years. The intent of the House is to give more representatives to states with higher populations, so for example New York has 26 representatives while Kansas only has 4.
However, instead of purely representing population, the number of House reps has been capped at 435, which weighs heavily in favor of less populated (Republican) states. If that cap was removed, Democrats would have a permanent lock on the House.
Thanks!
A man of “freedom of choice” and “free market” I see.
He’s like a new Kaney West
Canada thanks you for the cheap electric cars resulting from the surplus 👍
Unless you live in Alberta.
He can only further with those who already believe in him.
This is just naked corruption, making promises to the oil execs he’s been trying to curry favor with, right? Because apart from that - the thing that might put more money in Trump’s pocket - I can’t fathom what the point would be.
It’s a double win for him. Yes, he’s courting automakers and the oil and gas industry, so this gets him that, but a giant percentage of his base is simply against anything that liberals are for. Think of those idiots rolling coal. They’re literally making their cars as polluting as possible. What do they gain from it? The only thing it does, besides contributing to climate change, is upset liberals, and that’s the goal. Every one of those people will support this.
I think you’re overanalyzing things.
He’s a liar and a con man and he’s just telling his supporters what they want to hear. Tomorrow, he’ll tell his other supporters that he’s going to do the exact opposite because that’s what they want to hear. There is no consistency or underlying ideal other than telling people what they want to hear so that he can get more support.
To “own da libz.”
He’s pandering to the section of his base who all drive lifted coal rollin’ diesel trucks who all know that “everyone knows” electric vehicle owners are all avocado toast eating homosexuals who vote Democrat.
He’s begged the oil industry to come up with a $1b donation for his “campaign”, this is the reach around if they make it happen.
Trump wants to ban all EV sales despite what Americans want.
Biden wants to ban China EV sales despite what Americans want.
About what we can expect from this stupid fucking election.Biden wants to ban China EV sales despite what Americans want.
No. Biden wants to enact protectionist policies that increase the price of Chinese EVs. It’s true that some Dems are suggesting Chinese EVs be banned, notably Sherrod Brown. There are actually some pretty good arguments for doing so.
But I gotta be honest, if paying a bit more for a cheap ass brand new car is the worst of your concerns… well, I suggest you pay closer attention.
No. There is no reason to protect the American auto companies. They sold out 80% of Americans to a policy of profiting off of selling fewer, more expensive cars in a world that they lobbied to make cars mandatory to exist in almost all of the United States.
What about that closer attention ?
No, you’re right. The worst of my concerns is Biden’s insistence on making us complicit in a brutal genocide for a fascist foreign power.
Needlessly doubling the price of electric cars and bikes, collecting the difference as a tax on lower income Americans who would have most benefited from these much cheaper forms of personal transportation, while also posing as the environmentalist candidate, is just one example of the crock of shit we’re expected to participate in this year. Let’s just acknowledge that Biden is only here to defend and uphold billionaires, in this case, the ones who own the US car industry.
Republicans are worse in every aspect you talk about
Totally correct, and that doesn’t make Biden any better.
It doesn’t make Democrats any better than they are, but at least with Democrats you can have confidence that there will be another election in the future.
How very “free market” of him.
Free market, states rights, first amendment… Only when it suits them.
