Wonder if it's just that, or whether there is a more sinister mindset in place that would gladly see the country slide in reverse towards a backward theocracy that would be easier to control.
- dalyons 1y agoHonestly I think it’s neither, it’s just stupidity, incompetence and spite.
- danaris 1y agoI mean, it's not exactly hard to see what the cause is of the resistance to electric cars and renewable energy: it's a combination of the vastly wealthy fossil fuel industry throwing its weight around, and specifically behind the Republican Party, and said party taking that and turning it into an ideological issue almost akin to a religion. There are certainly some with power who are keen to "see the country slide in reverse towards a backward theocracy that would be easier to control", but by and large they're just riding an existing wave that's largely an emergent property of the system, while maybe making some nudges here and there to reduce the resistance to said wave.
