    That’s a very stupid generalization and dead wrong. MAGA is your neighbour. MAGA is the grocery store clerk. If you truly think MAGA is exclusively meal team 6 then you might have some or many screws loose.

      I agree here. There is stupid everywhere and im sure there are some maga in my town. Not very vocal but that is not surprising given their lack of popularity in the region.

      Maga might be my neighbor, but it doesn’t mean they’re good people, sensible, or of good morals, so I don’t see how that matters at all.

      I’ve not heard a progressive person shriek about SoCiaLiZM because someone suggested outlawing gas stoves in favor of electric to save the environment, or who rolls coal, or distastes electrical power versus fossil fuels.

      So I think Maga not liking ebikes or other EV things is actually pretty factual. There are many a post of shit heads blocking ev chargers with their lifted trucks. I wonder who those people might be on the political spectrum, not including my own personal experience.

        Then you’ve chosen ignorance and wrote three whole paragraphs congratulating yourself on that stance.

        I live in rural Canada. There are MAGA and trump flags and fuck Trudeau flags everywhere. Tons of lifted trucks. Tons of e-bikes. Easy pedalling isn’t just for left leaning people. One day you may understand that and move on from your extremism.

          I don’t negotiate or cooperate with insurrectionists. Fuck em 👍

          Maybe when it happens to your country you’ll see things the way I do. Good luck with that.

          Accepting MAGA means accepting bigotry against: gay, trans, black, Jewish, and other immigrant people. It also supports white nationalism, replacement theory, “anti-woke”, religious teaching in public schools, unfounded conspiracy, anti-green initiatives, removal of women’s reproductive rights, and many others.

          I’m well aware that someone who supports MAGA doesn’t necessarily support all these things. But they also knew what Maga stands for and aid their objectives anyway.
