They say a picture can be worth a thousand words and here in one hilarious and brutal cartoon is exactly what supporters of the current President look like to the rest of us:

Nails it!
What do you think, spot on or too harsh?
Speaking of incompetence and contempt for the average person in this country:
Biden’s Energy Secretary Creates a Stir: Police Called by Irate Family During Road Trip Meant to Highlight Benefits of EVs by Elizabeth Allen
Biden’s Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, embarked on a recent electric vehicle tour that encountered a few bumps along the way, including an incident involving a family who resorted to calling the police over a charging station dispute.
This episode sheds light on the challenges facing electric car owners, particularly those outside the Tesla bubble, and thrusts the complete lack of adequate infrastructure for electric vehicle use beyond the immediate area of your home into the limelight.
The purpose of Granholm’s four-day journey from North Carolina to Tennessee was to draw attention to the substantial investments the White House is making in green energy and clean cars. However, even meticulous planning couldn’t shield the trip from encountering the inherent limitations of the current electric vehicle situation.
The incident in question unfolded during a stop near Augusta, Georgia, where Granholm’s team discovered a shortage of available charging spots for electric vehicles. In an attempt to secure a space for the Secretary of Energy’s vehicle, one of her staff members parked a traditional gas-powered car at a charging station.
This decision predictably created immediate problems on a sweltering day. Another family was eager to charge their electric car as they had a child in their car and without the charge, there would be no air conditioning. Tensions ran high, prompting the aggrieved family to involve law enforcement as Georgia has a law preventing gas powered automobiles from pulling into charging stations.

Ultimately, a compromise was reached, with the Granholm team arranging for the family to charge their vehicle alongside the Secretary.
The situation exemplified a recurring challenge faced by electric vehicle drivers on road trips, shedding light on a broader issue that there simply are not enough charging stations to accommodate the existing electric vehicles, let alone the current push by the Biden administration for all vehicles to be electric.
NPR’s Camila Domonoske, who joined Granholm on the trip and drives an electric car herself, reiterated the significance of this confrontation.
“I drive an electric vehicle myself, and I’ve test-driven many more as NPR’s auto reporter. I know how easy it can be to charge when everything goes well and how annoying it can be when things go poorly,” she wrote. “Riding along with Granholm, I came away with a major takeaway: EVs that aren’t Teslas have a road trip problem, and the White House knows it’s urgent to solve this issue.”
For many electric car owners, having a charging station at home negates the need for relying on public charging infrastructure. However, affordability remains a stumbling block.
Even a so-called “affordable” all-electric Chevy Bolt, as noted in the NPR report, comes with a starting price tag of over $27,000, putting it out of reach for many American families.
Secretary Granholm acknowledged the need to make long-distance travel more accessible for electric car owners, emphasizing the urgency of addressing these challenges.
However, as NPR pointed out, her recent road trip highlighted glaring issues, including malfunctioning charging stations and vehicles not charging at their optimal rates.
These are problems that electric car manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers must address to facilitate the transition to a an all electric vehicle landscape. Of course there was no mention of how exactly the power grid would handle all of these electric vehicles.
