The above link is to a new story about a battery plant that’s going to open up in central Kentucky, and create about 1500 jobs . Kentucky as we all know is a dumpster fire of a state, with hardly any jobs that pay a livable wage and has some of the worst quality of life indicators in the country. You would think that getting 1500 jobs along with another battery factory in a city called Elizabethtown would be exciting news as Kentucky is becoming a hub of manufacturing in the EV market .
And yet, the people in the comments are doing nothing but bytching, complaining, wishing failure on the electric car industry, criticizing any and all investment in the electric car industry because the Democrat governor of Kentucky is spearheading these projects, implying that because Governor Beshear supported Kamala that the idea of EVS is a bad one, etc. etc.
I want you all to read the comments of this news story and understand that this is how most conservatives think.
They are petty, stupid, misinformed, miserable people who would rather see the world burn than a idea or flourish that goes against their own worldview. They’re so fragile dumb and intellectually dishonest they can’t bear any notion that challenges their own.
Yes the trans issue has always been controversial and pretty dumb because you’re asking Americans and the rest of the world to challenge the first and most prominent social construct that we learn as humans. It is a severely uphill battle and I’ve never liked how much social and credibility capital that it consumes.
but on some level it doesn’t matter what the Democrats did or didn’t do, Americans are so fukking dumb nowadays and have the ability to live in complete idea echo chambers.
