In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.
The Biden administration has pushed to boost electric car sales, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicting that two-thirds of new car sales could be electric by 2032 under a new proposal released by the administration earlier this year. Last week, the Energy Department announced plans to invest $12 billion into converting auto manufacturing facilities into plants for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Trump also took aim at Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, for supporting the Biden administration’s latest investment into electric vehicles.
sometimes I wonder how hot it has to get before anyone changes their mind on climate change. We’ll check back in at the next record breaking heatwaves.
If conservatives’ response to covid is any indication, they are willing to literally die first.
There are people out there that I am convinced will take their mental gymnastics with them to the grave. Maybe they’d start to think they might have been a teensy tiny bit off, but only after they’ve already drowned in a massive flood, or collapsed to heat stroke under a broiling sun in a formerly very temperate region.
Just the same, there’s probably plenty of unvaccinated people who died to covid some time during the peak years of the pandemic, who, were it possible, would have wanted to argue with the mortician that their autopsy was wrong and they had obviously died to something else.
Edit: Wait, morticians are the funeral people. I meant whoever does the autopsy.
