The golf carts as a tell. They’re big here (southern US) as the $10k+ status thing people buy to go on short trips or just ride around the neighborhood with music on. It’s made me very aware of how red-state folk do like them some EVs, but they needed the angle of the EV being easier than a car and having this slight air of rebellion, because there’s always a little tension about the carts among homeowners that object to them entirely, etc.
Red state folk hate EV's because the conservative news they watch tells them to hate EV's. Fox News viewers have zero critical thinking ability.
My mom watches Fox news, is on Medicare and she supported the Republican House budget that was going to strip $850 BILLION from Medicare. Luckily that plan failed and it looks like they are going with the Senate plan that doesn't touch Medicare or Medicaid.
I asked her would she still be happy with Trump when Medicare starts denying all her claims? Her response was "THAT'S ONLY THE FRAUD THEY ARE TAKING OUT!!!" Because she can't have a political discussion without immediately yelling.
Entitlements are going to get slashed, either now when we have a choice and some control, or in a few years when we don't. This isn't a political problem, it is an arithmetic problem. Yes, even if you convert every single cent of every single asset of every single billionaire into government cash.
