Yeah, rich memelords.

It's insane to me that people think the far right are the primary owners of electric cyberpunk trucks. Hell, back when the preorders for Cybertrucks started, Elon hadn't even bought twitter. Most of the right back then wouldn't touch those electric vehicles with a 10 foot pole.

I am reminded of comedian Demetri Martin’s pie chart of Hummer owners

There's an oldish guy with a cybertruck that eats at the southern food buffet on the regular in the shopping center where I work. I've never met the guy, but his demeanor is off-putting in a particular type of way. His cybertruck also has a hitch.

I’ll grant you that. Cybertruck owners are a special kind of douche.

Not worse than judgmental people like you. I’ve never voted for Trump. However, I’m done voting in America since both sides have become completely insane.

If you think both sides are equally problematic you are not a serious person.

One person steals a candy bar, and the other murders a bunch of people - "bUt tHeY'rE BoTh CriMinAls GuYs"

Complacency is just as threatening as action.

Nobody is getting murdered. Congrats on being massively hyperbolic. Politics have become a zero sum game. I’m done playing the game. I’m fortunate enough that it really doesn’t affect me who is in power. I’m a multiple small business owner. Neither party does anything for me. Enjoy your dysfunction.

Well I'm glad to introduce to you what is known as an "analogy". I was obviously illustrating the point that there is a serious matter of degree here - one party is substantially worse than the other. Even if both of them partake in the same conduct (which they really don't), the Republicans are far more dangerous than the Democrats are.

Feel free to take your ball and go home, which is about as effective of a strategy now as it was for making friends as a child. Otherwise, maybe actually try engaging in the reality of what is happening? Your businesses are going to be hurt too by the chaos wrought by this administration. Just because there isn't a bill specifically for whiny small business owners doesn't mean you won't be impacted.

Enjoy the tariffs then, when they fuck you over don’t complain. And unless you’re a MAGA sycophant or a billionaire, Krasnov’s policies will fuck you over.

Bro youre trying to have a serious conversation with a redditor. There's literally nothing you could ever say that would make him change his narrow world view

u/SadPanthersFan 24d ago

Fuck off with that both sides bullshit

u/Ok_Light_6950 24d ago

Yeah, there’s only one side going around burning cars and painting swastikas

u/SadPanthersFan 24d ago

Which side is on stage actually throwing up Nazi salutes and speaking at AfD rallies? You idiots might not like it but it’s ok to hate Nazis.

u/Ok_Light_6950 24d ago

‘Nazi salutes’ 🤣

You don't own a cybertruck. If the shoe doesn't fit, then why did you put it on?

u/JesterXL7 24d ago

Congrats. This sentiment is exactly why Trump won, and to act like things would be just as bad right now if the Democrats had won is a wild take. Republicans are literally dismantling and destroying our government while stripping away civil rights.

u/Chitownhustla23 24d ago

Nice try. I didn’t vote for Trump. If the democrats got rid of their need to use identity politics he would have never won. Wake up or you’ll continue to blame others for your own problems

u/xxtoejamfootballxx 24d ago

Did you vote for Kamala?

u/RoboChrist 24d ago

Democrats' "Identity Politics" is just fighting for the right for LGBT+ people to exist in public with equal rights.

Republicans' version of Identity Politics is fighting against civil rights.

Both sides are absolutely not the same. Democrats can't stop fighting for LGBT+ people without abandoning their humanity, like Republicans have.

u/Ok_Light_6950 24d ago

Yep all my civil rights just gone. Oh wait, they’re all still the same.

People who buy cybertrucks are generally a certain type of person in a way that other Tesla owners aren't.

Are they? Or are you just projecting your idea of what a Cybertruck owner would be onto them?

u/triplesalmon 24d ago

I'm being openly judgmental you don't have to enlighten me

Glad you can recognize how much of a snot you're being. That's usually tough for most people. Good for you buddy!
