- Same as it ever was
  
  Same as it ever was

I'd like to see him "owning the libs" and paying to get his car from the impound lot lol
- He'll do a go fund me and get rich. Once a conservative realiszs you can pretend to be a victim after being an asshole and get rich from it, they don't stop

Proud ignorance is the planets cancer.

100%
Western conservatism is all about creating problems for the other side or preventing the other side from producing results, not solutions for the greater good.
- That's part of it. You forgot where you imagine a problem and then yell about it, claiming to have fixed it when it has "gone away"

Conservatism in 2025: [Big-ass truck parked on a railroad level crossing]
- Hey rightoids, if you blocked rail traffic with your big trucks I'd feel so owned.

Weird, all four tires are aired up and nobody has poured brake fluid on the hood.
- Looks like he needs about four extra grams of tire weights in one of those motherfuckers
  
  Now you've done it. I'm now tempted to get some extra stick on wheel weights to "balance" the wheels of the unbalanced people who ICE Tesla chargers. Much more subtle then letting the air out of their tires.
- With these electric vehicles having waaaay more power than these compenstors douche bags drive around, they'd have no problem moving these pavement princesses out of the way.

The true reason keys were invented

It must be so exhausting being that insecure

Shoulda burned it
- Just steal the battery.
  
  Get some finely powdered aluminum and put it on the hood...

He's trying to conserve electricity

This is an old picture though
- Yet still accurate

everything I dont like is conservative
your meds sugarpie, take them

Asshole in 2023.
The mental energy you guys put in to hating huge groups of people that can't be defined with any one characteristic is nonsensical.
- So long as Conservatives politicians rely on militant ignorance and a desire to shit on the less fortunate, and Conservative voters buy up their dogwhistles and hatred for minorities with a spoon, they can deal with people calling it out as they see it.
  Oh, and the Conservatives that say "But I just voted for the tax cuts" really don't look to good saying "I think that militant bigotry isn't a dealbreaker for me saving money."
  
  Theoretically, a person who aligns with terrible things that are promoted by terrible people in positions of power are terrible. Sure. Why do we believe this truck owning person is conservative? Because they are "protesting" electric vehicles? Because they seem uneducated or proudly ignorant?
  So if we associate a stupid person with "deduct a point from conversatives" without any basis for knowing they are conservative, are we educating ourselves about conservatives or are we making a reality that is comfy and understandable because we ourselves are stupid?

Nah that's actually wild lmfao
- Hah you're triggered, gotcha #winning
  
  what?

While I get that this is for a meme, this picture can be simply explained by the fact that these chargers have very short cables, and this truck wouldn't be able to charge if they had parked normally. It's actually a pretty common sight.
This doesn't make conservatives any better, but it does give this specific picture some context.
- Just look at the truck. It's a dodge ram, they don't make any PHEV models.
  
  Even if you know nothing about cars, you can tell that from both context, and the fact that it clearly isn't plugged in.
- Can you show me where Dodge was making EV pickups in the mid-late 2000's, which is the approximate vintage of this truck?
- You high at?

That's just an asshole. Conservatives are usually polite, kind, warm and emphatic.
- Empathetic? Lmao wtf. Modern conservatism may as well be defined by it's complete lack of empathy for any and all marginalized groups.
- lol wow
  Yeah, I just love how kind polite and "emphatic" people like Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Glenn Beck are.
  
  I dont know about the other two but Alex Jones is a big softie
- You forgot the part where theyre also assholes if you aren't white
  
  Let's give them credit: they're bigger assholes if you aren't white, but they're still assholes even if you are.
  
  Hey they don't hate only non-whites. They also hate LGBT+ folks, cOmMuNiStS (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), and generally anything they don't understand which is a lot
- You forgot to add “\s” for sarcasm
  
  It's tru
- Conservatives are usually polite, kind, warm and emphatic.
  Ahhh hahahaha now that's funny. Pepperidge farm remembers
- That's funny, last time I talked to my mom, she called me a brainwashed communist and said Biden was the antichrist, and last time I was on the ship, the self-professed conservatives were walking by me saying "ching chong" and calling me a "chinaman" and "Chinese spy". Sure didn't feel polite, kind, warm or empathetic.
  
  Yes, Biden is the antichrist, not the orange bag of lard who flashbanged and teargassed crowds of people including the deacon of the church to get a picture of himself holding a Bible upside down. Not the same bloated refuse who had a literal golden idol at CPAC. Nope, not the guy who matches just about every description the evangelists give of the antichrist... it's the other guy. The soft spoken guy who cares about people. Clearly he's the ultimate evil.
  
  :(
  I guess the culture war is hotter than I thought.
- Conservatives are the opposite of the things you just said
- This is a weird joke right?
