Alternative energy goes beyond electric cars.

But prioritize fossil fuels. That's a big difference between the two camps.

Most in US say alternative energy takes priority over fossil fuels | Pew Research Center

I bring this up because I have friends who drive tesla cars. They keep getting ICEd (internal combustion engine cars parking at charging stations). Why don't conservatives understand that electric cars need electricity just as much as gasoline cars need gasoline? Whenever this is brought up, almost always the conservatives who drive huge SUVs would come and say they hate liberals so they purposefully park at these charging stations. Why don't they understand that electric car people are just trying to get home just as much as everyone else? True story. I was driving my company Tahoe yesterday trying to get home when the low gas light turned on and I had to stop at a gas station to fill up. Had all the gas stations been filled up with electric cars, I would have been super annoyed. Worse, I could have been stuck on the highway while just simply trying to get home.

It's not just the charging stations. All over this forum, if you go through the threads, the disdain from conservatives for liberals is definitely noticeable. Why?

I have never met another liberals like myself that hate conservatives. I have met plenty of conservatives, though, that are self-described haters of liberals .

Am I the only one picking up a pattern here?
Because Liberals hate everyone not like them that's why. Who would like someone who thinks they are the gifts to the world and know everything about everything and are ALWAYS right? I hate those people myself and would walk right over their dead bodies.

Why do conservatives hate liberals?

They embrace what is harmful and evil and try to normalize it.

I don't know who hates them. I don't. I do know they need to be stopped.

Evil being described in a general context, is the absence or opposite of that which is described as being good.

Mild "hate" or disliking a particular group is perfectly normal IMO. It's likely reflective of our own insecurities as humans, and those insecurities are completely rational insofar as politics are concerned. If one group threatens to change your way of life, you have every reason to feel threatened and insecure about your future.

Republicans and democrats have come and gone, and basically my way have life has remained the same.

I know a lot of people THINK if "X" just gets into office, my life will change!!!! Yeah, probably not much. But that's the game they sell you, and some go all in buying the message.

Tell us what their message and platform is and there position on any issue. There you have it.

Anything that comes out of their mouth is game even when they disagree.
