    The conservatives where I live shit blood absolutely any time any changes are made to roads to make them even slightly more pedestrian and bus/bike friendly. Preventing accidents/deaths and generally having a more usable, inviting environment for anyone that isn’t a car is unacceptable if it adds even a second to their commute. Go live on the fucking highway if you like it so much.

      They have been brainwashed by car and oil companies.

      That doesn’t excuse their ignorance, but it does highlight that the public information component will be very expensive to fix.

      It’s funny because adding more non-car options tends to make using a car more pleasant. But conservatives aren’t known for being smart, correct, or good at long term thinking.

        Every car commerical shows the fantasy of being the only car on the road.

        It’s so ludicrous. and consistent that when you know to look for it, it’s actually hilarious.

        People do not like traffic. They already hate most cars, cause they’re only driving one.

        Not where these people live. Most conservatives don’t live in cities.

          80% of the population lives in urban areas, and about half the population is conservative. Even if we assumed that every rural person was conservative (which isn’t true), that still leaves more conservatives living urban than rural.

            Cite your 80%.

            Since we both know you won’t be able to so

                That is only in the US. Not “the population”
