In mother America, car IDE’s you!
Joking aside — how the fuck are they getting away with this shit?! A company with zero armored car experience (fuck you, Cybertruck) gets a 400M government contract out of the blue? While the CEO of said company is employed by the same government, and a personal “friend” of the president?!
Seriously, if corporations are people, when the fuck are they going to start screaming their heads off?! Are none of the American car manufacturers enraged by this?!
America is so completely fucked.
I understand that propaganda went unobstructed for decades in this country before finally transitioning to social media where it amped up. The death of local reporting and trusted newspapers also helped aid this nonsense.
That said it is hard for me to comprehend how one can look at the richest man in the world being appointed in a position where he without transparency tears down government agencies(illegally I might add), and does not divest from his gigantic companies that are now being rewarded with a 400million dollar gift contract. Like how is buying 400million dollars in tesla trucks to do something that more conventional vehicles can do efficient? How is that not see immediately as blatantly corrupt?
Honestly, at this point idk if we’re hearing the full side on the right. Not making excuses for them but the majority of right wing rhetoric on commercial socials are bots. The actual voters themselves are awfully quiet. At least on my feeds.
Unfortunately Ive got family who’s voted for him who at least buy into some of the BS. Ive heard the buyout as a good deal considering theyre going to fire you anyway and stuff like that.
The right wing propoganda chain is strong. From the moment reagan deregulated the airwaves to now. Christian radio feeding into am talk, am talk stroking egos while painting narratives of victimhood and then social media and the death of local newspapers absolutely drove it all up to 11. It doesnt help that while this was happening the neolibs were disinvesting in the working class, and didnt have a proper counter to it. There were virtue signalling but still very wealthy hollywood elites kinda giving some crumbs of representation in films I guess and of course smarmy personalities like bill mahr. Which of course only helped serve to reinforce enough right wing talking points to help begin the radicalization process.
It sucks because I think a lot of conservatives when you talk to them about what they actually believe you do get fairly leftest beliefs. Like I know when I talk to my dad he’ll say things sometimes that are practically radically leftist, but then he’ll twist his logic into knots to explain why thats why he voted the way he did.
I feel like if the dems didnt abandon the working class the republicans would have less fuel to burn.
Oh 100% on the selling the working class out. Dems are for wealthy soft republicans. Repubs are for hard line broke republicans.
Instead of feeding poor kids, government will now spend that money on worthless cars
I saw a meme about this a month ago so I was REALLY confused when I saw the headline
Lmao armored teslas that are going to fall apart. Unless they decided to pump more money into quality control.
The past while has been one hell of a trip and I have no clue where we’re gona end up next
This story has been updated.
The State Department said Thursday it is abandoning plans of purchasing $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles
What happened, did they break apart by hand? 🤣
