“Your God Given Rights are toxic and selfish!”

I bet she’s a peach of a date.

NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC are all part of the "MSM" and we know exactly how they lean.

“toxic individualism.”

She’s inflicting us with “toxic Marxism”. I called it “toxic”, so now everyone has to hate it, or they’re a hater. That’s how it works, right?

China now sells TWICE as many cars in their country as are sold in the US. What does NBC plan to do about that? If nothing, then they can shut the —— up.

Putting the onus on U.S. drivers —three-quarters of whom anyway consider themselves to be safer than average— to lower fatalities and accidents by simply driving better seems like an effort in futility.

The original propaganda piece featured this incorrect quotation. The AAA study does not state that three-quarters of U.S. drivers consider themselves safer than average. They consider themselves BETTER than average. The young man who weaves at high speed on the interstate and has not yet had an accident may consider himself more skilled. The old lady who stays in whatever lane she finds herself in sticks at 45 mph regardless may also consider herself superior. "Better" without a definition is utterly subjective, and of course many of us will favor our own style of driving.

So, it is entirely possible that 3/4's of drivers think themselves better than average without deluding themselves. The author of the original anti-car piece should not have changed a key word to misrepresent the survey.

her broom must’ve broken down...

Erin Sagen, the writer of the original anti-car piece, had an abortion at 25 because of “fear and self-doubt”. Why should I take advice from her?

Oh, but hey, converting all cars to electric, will make all vehicles safer and we’ll have less carnage on the roads.

Liberals are a confusing bunch.

Like, GM is supposed to go all-electric by 2030 and no later than 2035. Bad deal for GM and democrats who have been selling us all on the benefits to the environment with all-electric all the time. I’m staying away from GM products, since, all-electric means that most people will be staying away from GM vehicles.

Any other maker that goes all-electric will be giving most of their business to those that continue selling ICE vehicles

BTW, I’m looking for a new SUV, and GM just made my car-hunting a bit easier.

[Pollard]

And I thought this was going to be about climate change and I have a suspicion that deep down it is. She’s just trying a different angle.

Tyrants have never liked cars. They give people too much freedom.

[Paal Gulli]

Gasoline is the fuel of democracy.

Freedom of association is one of the core principles of a democratic society (even when it's a democratic republic). Having an automobile essentially gives us freedom of movement limited only by geography. Freedom to meet with whomever we want, freedom to peaceably assemble wherever we want.

This principle was never clearer than during the Suffragette movement of the early 20th Century, only their vehicle of choice was the (then relatively recently developed) safety bicycle. Most women had neither an automobile or horse so the bicycle gave them the ability to travel over substantial distances so they could meet and discuss issues and strategy.

The Role of the Bicycle in the Suffragette Movement

The automobile also gives us the ability to "vote with our feet," to leave the demoncrat hellholes and flee to freer, safer, environs, using nothing but our privately-owned means.
