Because there are more gas cars on the road, moron. OFC there is going to be more gas car fire deaths. |
Hey moron look at the fires per number of vehicles. This is typical of maga and republicans. Have no understanding of the what they are blathering on about but feel confident to make sh#t up and be embarrassingly wrong. Electric Vehicles: 0.25 fires per 1,000 vehicles sold (25 per 100,000). Gasoline Vehicles: 15.3 fires per 1,000 vehicles sold (1,530 per 100,000). Then add in all the deaths all the way through the gasoline supply line starting at the drilling. Do you remember Texas City Refinery explosion 2005 killed 15 People and Injured 180 others? There has been a huge upsurge of refinery incidents from 2008-2022. Look up the deaths and injuries around gas and oil pipelines(18 in 2024), tanker car, tanker trucks, gas stations fires(about a 1,000 a year), etc. Now add in gasoline fires from cars. Don’t have this problem with EVs or their supply lines. EVs are 95% efficient. The average gas powered cars are 20-25% efficient. This means only 20-25% of the energy that enters an ICE motor is used to turn the wheels. The rest is lost as heat. You have to carry 2/3 more energy to do the same work. Each gallon of gas equals 22 sticks of dynamite you are driving around with in your car. With 1/2 a tank of gas you are sitting on 220 sticks of dynamite. |
Not sure who you are responding to but we do not disagree. |

MAGA farmers in California whining that their Congressional representative will turn Democratic after redistricting. I’m sure they didn’t squawk about the gerrymandering approved in Texas.

Trump Invited White South Africans to America. One Ended Up in Detention.
An Afrikaner flew to the United States expecting protection. Instead, he has spent months locked up in Georgia alongside hundreds of other immigrants. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/us/trump-afrikaner-ice.html Benjamin Schoonwinkel took President Trump at his word. The United States would welcome South Africans like Mr. Schoonwinkel, white Afrikaners who Mr. Trump said had become victims of government discrimination in the decades since apartheid ended and the country’s Black majority gained political power. Afrikaners who claimed past persecution or fear of future harm could come to the United States as refugees, Mr. Trump declared, even as his administration was closing that door to the rest of the world. In September, Mr. Schoonwinkel boarded a flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta, and on arrival told U.S. border agents that he was seeking asylum. But he hadn’t come through the refugee program, as the Trump administration had intended. Rather, Mr. Schoonwinkel, 59, had chosen to travel on a tourist visa and to seek asylum. Instead of being allowed to enter the country, he found himself in handcuffs. Within two days, he was in a federal detention center in rural Georgia, where about 2,000 people who have been swept up in Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown are being held. He has been there for almost 100 days. |

| The Afrikaner sounds dumb and entitled. He couldn’t be bothered to apply through the correct program and somehow thought he was special to skirt the asylum rules. |
I'm not saying Trump has been directed by someone to eviscerate the US from within, but if this were an actual ongoing directive, I cannot imagine what he'd be doing differently. Pretty much everything that makes the US culturally unique and dominant in the world, he has attacked them all like clockwork. Our professional sports, entertainment, diversity, governmental structure, the arts, using our military against civilians, perverting our legal system, making healthcare worse, stealing from the poor to reward the wealthy, depriving the citizenry of traditional social safety nets, eliminating goals of due process and rights to privacy, pitting the people of the US against one another along lines of race, culture and national identity, killing off tourism, gutting responsible journalism, reversing social progress, suffocating the educational system and intentionally creating a nation of ignorants, defunding science and medical research, eliminating vaccines and women's right to choose, disenfranchising voters, destroying clean energy, alienating all our traditional allies. He is remaking the US into an authoritarian police state where more of democracy dies every day he stays in office. He's literally tearing down the white house right in front of everyone's eyes. He thinks he is Caesar. And we have 3 more years of this. I have accepted that it will not recover in my lifetime, and probably not even in the lifetimes of my children. I don't even know if they want to have children themselves at this point. Like I said, if he'd been hired and propped up to win the presidency twice specifically to destroy the USA and wipe out all 20th century progress in this country, I don't know what he'd be doing differently. |
The bolded cannot be repeated enough. If you are China, Saudi Arabia and Russia and you wanted to buy a dupe to destroy the country from within, Trump 45 and trump 47 are what you would get. There is literally nothing Trump is doing that actually makes America great or makes the people better off. |
China is so far a head of the the US now they really do not care. Trump is has gutted this country and the Chinese are just getting out of the way. |
Thank you. It's so damn frustrating to see the constant stream of falsehoods and nonsense coming from the right wing trying to undermine EVs, PHEVs, solar, wind, et cetera. ("Stupid libruls can't handle that EVs catch on fire" comment above) |
