Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, better known as the guy who couldn’t manage a lemonade stand, was blabbering on about how the car industry is supposedly shifting towards electric vehicles even though their sales are tanking faster than a lead balloon. It’s like he’s living in a fantasy world where everyone is driving around in electric cars and singing Kumbaya. News flash, Pete! The American people still love the sound of a good old-fashioned V8 engine.

Buttigieg tried to downplay the recent slump in Tesla’s sales, blaming it on increased competition from other car makers like Stellantis and General Motors. Yeah, right! As if people would choose anything over a sleek Tesla. He also had the audacity to compare the transition to electric vehicles to the switch from landline phones to cell phones. Classic Pete, always trying to make a silly comparison to distract from the real issues.
The guy even had the nerve to insist that the majority of Americans are ditching their gas guzzlers for electric vehicles. Well, newsflash, Pete, that’s just not true. Americans love their trucks and SUVs, and no amount of government intervention is going to change that. It’s like he thinks we all want to drive around in glorified golf carts.
And to top it all off, Buttigieg had the gall to claim that the U.S. needs to compete with China in the electric vehicle market. Why should we care what China is doing? We should be focused on making America great again, not playing catch-up with the communists.
The Biden administration’s push for more electric vehicles is just another example of their out-of-touch agenda. They’re even imposing lower emissions requirements and scaling back on the number of electric vehicles required to be sold. It’s like they want to turn all our cars into glorified toasters on wheels.
It’s not all bad news, though. Even with all the electric vehicle hoopla, at least Apple came to their senses and scrapped their electric car project. “Project Titan” can go join the rest of the liberal pipe dreams in the trash where it belongs. Maybe now Buttigieg can focus on something more important, like fixing potholes or figuring out how to make trains run on time.
