For the record, the previous “major” flameout and embittered defense played off in a spun-off thread in the Pit: > [@Bob\_Blaylock hates Electric Vehicles and was happy to highjack a thread about it](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bob-blaylock-hates-electric-vehicles-and-was-happy-to-highjack-a-thread-about-it/998798): > >   I’m a construction worker, and can expect to be sent to projects as far as eighty miles away from home.  I live in an apartment, with no EV charger available to me, and no realistic possibility of having one installed for my use.   I usually work at places that are still being built.  There may be chargers there, when those places are finished, but by that time, I’ll be done with that project, and hopefully moved on to another.   So, if I had an EV, I would have no choice but to stop somewhe… (which I linked too upthread #8270 by my count) Which ended up being a de-facto pit thread, because it brought up his general jerkishness on Trans and Covid Issues. I fully expect (and suspect the mods expect) Bob to flameout sometime not too long after their return. I also think @LSLGuy is likely correct on the causation - it’s _terrifying_ how much latent hate has been empowered (or flat out created) by the propaganda and outrage machine that is Fox/Qanon and the like.
