This is always the excuse for upper crust liberals to sneer down at working class culture. Always. It's always how everyone is in danger. Against mtf in female sports? You're causing violence to trans people. Use a gas powered blower to blow the leaves from the 400 trees on your property? You're killing the planet and everyone on it. Vote republican? You want fascism and the fall of democracy. Everything is always exaggerated to excuse a total lack of civility and then the lack of civility makes solving the problem impossible. bc no one can be the bigger person, the culture divide grows bigger and problems become harder to solve bc the solution requires consensus in our democracy.

Never doubt an american's ability to turn a neutral topic like road safety into some kind of twisted partisan issue. Just a reminder - even though you're probably right, in some sense, every time you do this, reasonable public debate gets another nail in the coffin.

Ah yes, the "poor working class" and their raised trucks with improperly angled headlights that cost at least 3x my vehicle...

  Yes bc poor people of all ethnic and racial persuasions don't spend irresponsible amounts of money on sweet rides.... Anyone can sign a dotted line and struggle to make payments.

You're mixing up so many random issues? First off, I'm not a liberal. Cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds. Second off, hot take but it's fine to have different policies for different parts of the country. Third, literally these are not problems anywhere else in the world. The "working class culture", which I suspect is your heavily American-bastardized version of it works fine in plenty of the rest of the world without cars the sizes of a building. Now, maybe focus on these issues one at a time and lead a proper discussion. Finally, as a believer in anarchism, I don't care about consensus. Don't fuck with my life and I won't fuck with yours. Ask me for help, and I will do literally anything I can to help. But don't try to legislate or regulate your way through controlling the behavior of others. This is something the "American both sides" do.
