https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-elections-pennsylvania-lifestyle-election-2020-fc79679ef54d850c0245f96dac37456c

The two main points here, pithily summarized
  1. "Rural Democrats are afraid to share their beliefs for fear of ostracism, vandalism, and other reprisal; this must mean something is wrong with Democrats."
  2. "If they simply changed their messaging, Democrats can reach the people riled up about fictional police defundings in cities they'd never visit anyways."

Wouldn't a gas stove be better for the environment than an electric one anyway? I was under the impression that natural gas is a cleaner source of energy than most electric generation.
Gas stoves leak methane even when not in use:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/climate/gas-stoves-methane-emissions.html

Gas stoves leak significant amounts of methane when they are being ignited and even while they are turned off, according to a new report, adding to the growing debate over the effects of gas-powered appliances on human health and climate change.
The small study based on measurements from cooktops, ovens and broilers in 53 homes in California estimated that stoves emit between 0.8 and 1.3 percent of the natural gas they consume as unburned methane, a potent greenhouse gas. During the course of a typical year, three-quarters of these emissions occur when the devices are shut off, the study showed, which could suggest leaky fittings and connections with gas service lines.
Over a 20-year period, emissions from stoves across the United States could be having the same effect in heating the planet as half a million gas-powered cars, the study estimated.

But that's just the point I've made. It's not that Star Wars doesn't have politics, it's just that you choose to ignore it and dismiss it as silly.

Let's be honest about what's happening here: Gobstoppers12 liked Star Wars and purposefully puts blinders on regarding its politics (dismissing the obvious parallels that have been pointed out repeatedly ITT) because the dissonance of having his views criticized by a property he likes would be too much to bear.

I mean, they're pretty clear-cut evil, and any comparison made to any modern nation (aside from maybe Nazi Germany, of course)
The Nazis are political, for one thing, but also you don't think there's any politics in making the heroes a small group of rebels taking on a technologically advanced empire in a movie that released in the United States in the 1970s?

It is literally always in the interest of the working class to make their government fear them. An ideal government is one that is scared s***less that at any moment the people could rise up and f***ing kill them.
The people in question are a bunch of owner-operators who have the financial security to fuck off for days at a time, backed by five-figure anonymous donations. The convoyers are not, in any sense, representative of the working class, the majority of which is vaccinated.

For example, one of its leaders previously led an anti-union protest that tried to break a picket line
