The liberals' hatred of cars has always been a bit mystifying. I guess they hate the fact that someone can get in a car and go wherever they want with no permission from the government.
Lefties driving large SUVs and large trucks tell me that their main goal is to get everyone else off the road , onto a bus or train run by union thugs = taxpayer money all around, so that they get to zoom around empty highways and find easy parking spaces.
The environment, etc. is just a scam / tool to get their goal.
