During an August 2026 speech at a Las Vegas rally, President Donald Trump mocked electric vehicle owners' range anxiety, characterizing the habit of constantly monitoring battery depletion on long journeys as a "disease". While discussing his administration's rollback of federal EV policies, he joked that motorists who worry about finding a charging station when their batteries are still three-quarters full are "crazy". These rhetorical attacks underscore his ongoing political opposition to the transition toward electric transport and federal emissions mandates.

Obviously car bad train good, but you ever notice how everyone is constantly allowed and encouraged to regularly hurl insults at anyone to the left of Hitler, but you ever do it back and the world stops to lecture you on how horrible it is to insult a chud, the world’s sacred cow?

Imagine the outrage if this was Mamdani calling coal rollers idiots.

I dunno, antivaxxers, coal rollers, whatever the fuck you call people who drink raw milk, aren't really held in high esteem. I haven't met anyone who didn't think they were complete idiots.

I mean moving right (the dismantling of more and more working rights) is baked into the system. It only "makes sense" that the nation with the most advanced capitalism would feel it is an offense to insult Hitlerites while being fine with the abduction and murder of "unwanted" people.
