I don’t think it’s even a split, their lizard brains just see an EV and immediately think “woke” even if it’s one from Melon himself

I made this post in response to someone posting a video in my work groupchat implying that people who buy Teslas are woke liberals brainwashed by big climate change, yet the one person in the company who everyone here knows has a Tesla is an outspoken conservative like the rest of them (even when it comes to climate change)

Tesla might market their vehicles as a solution for climate change, and maybe some of their customers are liberals who think EVs are a realistic solution to stop it, but the reality is their customers are mostly chuds who buy it as a status symbol or to support based Elon, and even with lots of evidence online and in real life, they just don’t get it. They’ll see right in front of their eyes a contradiction between what’s in their heads and what real (and it’s not even a large scale societal one like the contradiction between class interests, but one that revolves around culture signifiers which is the only thing anyone in America thinks about anymore), but instead of putting even a little effort towards resolving it, they just stick with the narrative they already know.
