I have been a frequent poster on a particular EV related thread on AK where there are a more than handful of doom and gloom predictors who are mostly ill informed. One of their alleged scare mongering line is that EV's will be mandated and when I pointed out that our constitution will not permit it and heck "we cannot even mandate vaccines and masks to fight a pandemic" the response was, "Thank God for the US constitution". I call them the Freedumb folks.

Certain people look at The Constitution like certain people look at the Bible, à la carte

One of my oldest friends implied that I was a child abuser for making my
kid wear a mask after Tucker Carlson told him to.

I haven't spoken with him since.

This whole issue drives home the "we" verse the "me".

Not surprising it is the party (cult) of the selfish self centered who are acting this way.

The Nazification of the country has been more than a bitter personal disappointment with friends I had thought better.

Live history, is this how the Nazi Party rose to power in Germany?
