Leftists have to control. They do so today primarily under the guise of environmentalism, and safety. Their BS is aimed at those most likely unconcerned with such sense or need to control, thus don’t recognize what the Left is actually doing.
Automobiles are a source of freedom to come, and go at will.
To control the man, to control the woman the Left has to control the attributes of their freedom.
They are making it more, and more difficult for free people to afford the attributes of their freedom.
Here’s a little story about leftists and control:
Years ago, one of my coworkers - a woman - was a leading light in the local socialist party and well connected in the party national leadership. Still active, far as I know.
She was also an anti-gunner.
So one day, I brought her along to a shoot. She got to try a 22 and bump down some tin cans, and seemed to have a lot of fun. I think she tried a few blasts with my 9 too.
On the way back, I asked her if she had any new insight on the gun question. Turns out she had.
Sge was now even MORE adamant that guss had to be banned. The POWER!. If she had a gun, she could MAKE people do her bdding. Surely, I had felt the POWER??
She raved on and on, and it mostly had to do with force, power, owerwhelm, kill, force, submission, kill, and more force.
Stir crazy.
