She probably drives a Subaru, so $5 gas isn't as big a deal for her.
They aren't that good on gas tbh
My daughter’s Crosstrek gets good mileage at about 34 mpg on the highway.
Seems high to me, but not too far off. Most of these lefties driving them are living in urban areas (see Minneapolis).
Lefties? What makes you think it's for lefties? It's perfect for her since it's all wheel drive and drives great in the snow, which she needs in Northern Arizona, and she loves to do camping and other stuff outdoors. We can't even talk cars these days without bringing politics into it.
My car is a gus guzzler that can do nearly 180 mph. Is that a lefty or righty car? Well, I guess it's probably not a car for the far left . . . but do you really think of vehicles as left or right cars? Why would you waste any time at all thinking that way? Maybe you're joking.
Maybe it's a false impression, but I feel that the average "outdoorsy person" leans a little more to the left, due at least in part to environmental protection issues. I am not talking about the RV campers, but more about the backpackers, hard core hikers, climbers, etc. So if you choose a car that facilitates that, then I can understand the mental connection. When I lived in Massachusetts a LOT of people were Subaru drivers. Some just because it was great in the snow, but others maybe because it does connect to their tree hugger mindset. They tended to be "bumper sticker people" LOL, so you could tell.

Subarus earned their outdoorsy, tree hugger reputation back in the 70s/80s when they were first introduced to the US market in the northeast -- i.e. Vermont, NH, Maine, Massachusetts, etc. It took them a number of years to gain a foothold, but when they did it came with an L.L. Bean vibe.
They also sold a bunch of RHD cars that went to rural postal carriers. The AWD and reputation for reliability in that sector were major factors in their initial success.

There is no thread on Facebook that doesn't get a bunch of idiots trying to make it political.
Someone could post a pic of a dog and someone will say "that dog is smarter than Biden/trump" etc
I'm curious @dbmhoosier .... Where is the MAGA base going with this?

I mean the Elon breakup made sense to me.... They really weren't aligned other than marriage of convenience....
But a Tucker split seems like it'll hit bone.
It's done. Trump chose Israel and the donors over his voters. Sad.

So you're done with him? He's no longer the answer to all our problems? No longer the Chosen One? Are you going to seek professional help?

Your problem was thinking Trump is some overly online isolationist, Tucker bro. Trump doesn’t go online. He tweets and then lets everyone tear themselves to pieces.
So many talking heads wanted to impute their own beliefs to MAGA. Had they actually paid attention to Trump and what he was saying everything he is doing wrt Iran and Israel was foreseeable.

Yea, the problem is always thinking trump was being honest. Insulted past presidents for getting the country into wars and claimed he wouldn't do the same. Add it to the long list of lies. So yea, anyone that trusts what trump says is being a fool
The US might drop the biggest bomb ever. They are loading up planes with DVDs of the Melania documentary.

Hot dog! I can’t wait to tell my MAGA buddy with a large Suburu SUV that he’s driving a libturd vehicle. I’ll just make sure he’s not carrying when I do.

I think it’s nonsense. What’s not nonsense is if the back of a vehicle is covered in stickers it’s almost certainly being driven by a lefty - that’s even before you’re close enough to read them. They love to display their virtuous causes and beliefs.
Cmon Aloha. It's joking about stereotypes. But there is data to back it up:She probably drives a Subaru, so $5 gas isn't as big a deal for her.

Gemini:
- Popular Models: The Subaru Outback is often identified as one of the most popular vehicles among Democrats. Other popular Subaru models for this demographic include the Forester and Crosstrek.
- Political Demographics: Data from studies (such as those by Strategic Vision) has shown that consumers who identify as liberal or progressive often favor, in addition to Subarus, vehicles that are perceived as environmentally friendly, practical, and "cool".
- Target Market: Subaru has historically engaged in marketing targeting specific, often left-leaning, demographics, including the LGBTQ+ community and environmentally conscious outdoor enthusiasts.
- Regional Factors: While Subaru is popular in blue-leaning areas (like New England), its high-practicality and all-wheel-drive capabilities also make it popular in regions with specific terrain or weather needs, regardless of political affiliation, such as in Colorado or Alaska.
- Stereotype vs. Reality: While the stereotype of a "liberal Subaru driver" is backed by data, it is not exclusive; the brand also appeals to individuals who prioritize reliability, safety, and high resale value.
The bumper sticker divide narrowed greatly with MAGA. Lots of proud Trumpers out there. Particularly in pickup trucks.

Another curious factoid, the car with the biggest gap in ownership, female to male, in the history of the automotive industry is the recent reprise of the VW Beetle, now discontinued, I think.
