    Still plenty of rubes that support trump. The backlash against tesla actually probably has whole swaths of them looking to buy one to own the libs.

      I think that’s a big stretch. The venn diagram of people that buy electric vehicles and those that support Trump barely intersect.

        We’re talking gold medalists at mental gymnastics though. My right wing relatives are now retiring their own narratives. They used to say “drill baby drill, EVs are for libs.” now they are saying that Tesla is the only brand for a patriot because the company and factories are in America.

          I’ve always taken the WSB/Cryptobros Diamond Hands cartoon as a caricature of Trump. AFAIK, cryptobros have been infatuated with Trump since the beginning.
