You've stumbled into 3 very powerful headwinds buddy:

1-Lemmy hates Republicans so they will support whatever Republicans are trying to get rid of

2-Its an EV and EVs are cool

3- Lemmy (especially c/FuckCars) HATES the new trend of trucks with very high grilles that block your view in front of you. The new mail trucks swing cartoonishly in the other direction, so it's pretty much their ideal truck.

Ohhhh thank you for clearing some of this up! I'm still kinda new to this.

That's wild how many people seem to fit all 3 dimensions — and so strongly that they're seemingly offended by some light criticism of any EV? Am I reading the situation right? (Edit: er, maybe it offended people that fit in one or two of those groups... Unions vs. intersections)

Hot take (apparently): Some vehicles — including but not limited to EVs — are ugly. I stand by that.

The old USPS delivery vehicle wasn't pretty either, but somehow I think nobody would be offended by that.

I swear social media people make me feel like an alien sometimes lol
