      Rolling coal is this exact mindeset in transportation form.

        Rolling coal is a literal attack on everyone around them she should be treated as such.

          They do it to me all the time, apparently because I drive a Prius. It doesn’t even make sense. It still has an internal combustion engine. I guess they’re mocking me for not having to pay as much per month for gas as they do?

            you’re talking about people who go out and buy a 24 pack of bud light so they can get video of themselves shooting it with a shotgun

            I’ve seen some exceptionally stupid people roll coal while going out the gate at a military base, it’s absurd.

            They don’t think that deeply about it. The Prius was the first mainstream hybrid vehicle. The first got really got attention for being more environmentally friendly. So it got the right-wing media’s attention and they turned their base’s hateboners onto it. Even with EVs, the Prius is still the “eco car” to most.

              Yeah, I drive a hybrid, but (so far) I haven’t had to deal with that crap despite living in a state where it’s common (they’re just not directing it at me, personally).

              Prob cause my hybrid doesn’t look like a hybrid and looks exactly like its ICE counterpart.

                Same here, I have hybrid escape and you’d never know unless you read the tiny tag on the hatch. I just happen to get significantly better gas mileage than the ice lol
