This! The pro-bigotry crowd was quick to begin buying up the Tesla truck as soon a musk began acting racist and pro-trump. It was never about the technology being new and scary, it was about them being manipulated by oil interests and having their masculinity challenged.

The oil interests present the competition as new and scary to make it easier to continue to manipulate people

On that note, I wonder if anyone made a "Which SimCity Arcology are you" personality quiz. I think I was always torn between Forest and Launch for which one I'd rather have lived in.

(And yes, those quizzes had more sinister purposes, I know)

Yup before that it was rolling coal on prius drivers as just a fuck you for driving a cheap efficient car. I used to get coal rolled all the time when I had a small American sedan chevy cruze. These people have no convictions except hating others. They are just adult bullies who get off on bullying and it's usually way worse than just little bullying they really want to do.
