The same demographic as MAGA supporters.
Can we avoid turning Lemmy.world into a political car fight and stick to the particulars of the issues instead of name calling. Whether right or wrong saying “that’s the same demographic as trump supporters” doesn’t add to the conversation, it’s just inflammatory
This is what happens when you let redditors in
My crazy theory is that Musk’s sudden political shift is because the above demographic was getting saturated with Teslas, and he needed to broaden his market. He learned from the blind loyalty Trump gets from his cult of personality, and is looking to duplicate that success.
All the right-leaning people I know don't like EV's and don't own them. Most, can't afford them. Most of the Tesla owners I've noticed in my country are Chinese. You've got plenty of Tesla ownership in Europe and China where sales dominate. Far from MAGA battlegrounds.
As a software engineer and a Tesla owner, I have to say that pretty much all the Republicans/MAGA supporters I know are from outside of work. Most people I work with are definitely left of center.
Engineering, software engineering and management generally require intelligence and critical thinking.
MAGA entirely lack that
Nah, smart people can be idiots. Ted Cruz graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law. Ben Carson used to be a world class neurosurgeon. Rand Paul is technically still a doctor. All three colossal morons as well.
I know software engineers who are Republicans, and even some who voted for Trump.
I know Trump isn't popular, but there's no need to be so condescending.
Calling your political opponents so unintelligent that they can't even hold certain occupations is incredibly snobby and rude. It makes you look very immature.
So they still support trump to this day?
There's a few engineers at my work that voted for and still support Trump
I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences
I'm sorry that you're so blinded by political hatred.
Sometimes people think differently than you do, and that's okay: it's a part of life. Most people understand and accept this, but some don't.
I'm able to get along with people I disagree with politically because I respect their right to make choices, and I don't center my entire identity and life around political ideology. There's much more to a person than that.
I guess world history is irrelevant to you
You're not entirely wrong, they get stereotyped as being rural poorer types but they tend to be closer to the people mentioned above, though perhaps not the exact demographic.
