Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you're against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.

The unemployed auto sector worker believes "woke" means Chinese EVs.

The bigots believe "woke" means allowing gay people to exist.

The wealthy believe "woke" means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.

It's a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that "woke" means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate "woke", then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.

The USA has an incredibly stupid populace very much on purpose. The billionaires that own them have spent the last 40 years killing education because stupid people are so much easier to control. You get a better education at a European high school than most USA colleges.

There's nothing special about EVs in this regard. Internal combustion vehicles do the same thing.

Keep this in mind every time you hear someone say that something is "to protect the children."

You know what is incredibly easy to do to protect the children? Don't fucking pepper spray and tear gas them. It's so easy to do that I've been doing it my entire life without even trying.

Yep, not in the lifetime of any person currently living.

Sowing trust in a violent, repressive, fascist regime is a far worse idea.

Ah, no worries then. We all know that police departments in the USA are absolutely above reproach and are impossible to influence politically.

"Inspired by" = ripped off

A corrupt Duterte? I'm shocked!

Exactly - no USA stats are trustworthy in any context.

The problem with this solution is that your device will only charge at legacy 5V low power charging. The data pins are used to negotiate charging rates between devices and without this capability the charger will only deliver the known-safe basic low power charging rate.
