        To defend the redditors slightly (eww), J.D. Vance first made his name as a resistance lib who seemed like their perfect idea of a “moderate” republican. He was shitting on poor people in kentucky with his Hillbilly Elegy book / movie and I sort of remember him being on American TV and talking about how the people of appalachia had failed to adapt to the post-industrial world and instead turned to drugs, which was fucking catnip to liberals back in 2017. His turn came when he ran for senate in Ohio and had to beg and plead with Trump for an endorsement, before he ultimately won the republican primary and then the senatorial election.

        I do feel a smidgeon of sympathy for people who bought a Tesla when they were one of the only electric cars around. If I had one I would rebadge it and tell people it’s an Audi or something.

      As i lay dying, at the hands of a methhead klanner, I think about how the libs could have prevented this if they hadn’t supported EV tax credits in 2019
