Do liberals drive pickups?

If a liberal is driving a pickup, it is usually because their job requires it, not as a form of social signaling.

Yes, this. I know lots of liberals who own pickups. They are not driving giant, never-been-dirty pickups to their office jobs. If they have a second car, they will drive it instead of the pickup if the pickup isn't needed (because gas mileage) but not all of them have a second car.

Have you always been an ass, or is this a recent transformation?

I had NO IDEA PG County was red.

In Baltimore City, Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 10 to 1. In Prince George’s County, it’s 11-1.

Oh - And I live in Frederick, and it's pretty much split, with Ind at a little under 8%.


sorry you can't find your brain, OP

Haha, you just described me. Alexandria, liberal, own two cars (large pickup and a Corolla). The Corolla goes to work.

PP here. The pickup gets used because I have a hobby that requires it and my family lives out in the country on several acres and I help them out a lot.

I have a cheap second or n-th hand pickup I use to haul mulch and gardening supplies. Does that qualify?

This. They are crunchy tradesmen/women, not driving "lifestyle" pickups compensating for something.

My conservative neighbor has one of those 70,000 dollar flashy ford pickups to a white collar job and has never hauled anything more than golf clubs, I bet he has never used AWD or the hitch.

A liberal in my neighborhood uses his silverado for projects a lot (he’s really into diy) and hauls stuff. But he also has a small Subaru for other things.

No liberals ever drive pickups.

I’m contemplating the Gladiator. Does that count?

Yep. Lifelong liberal who has a pickup to tow my horse trailer.

Certainly less often than conservatives!

"If there are more sedans, [a neighborhood] probably voted Democrat (88% chance), and if there are more pickup trucks, it probably voted Republican (82% chance)," the study found, using voting data from the most recent presidential election.
