As a software engineer and a Tesla owner, I have to say that pretty much all the Republicans/MAGA supporters I know are from outside of work. Most people I work with are definitely left of center.
My crazy theory is that Musk’s sudden political shift is because the above demographic was getting saturated with Teslas, and he needed to broaden his market. He learned from the blind loyalty Trump gets from his cult of personality, and is looking to duplicate that success.
You’re not entirely wrong, they get stereotyped as being rural poorer types but they tend to be closer to the people mentioned above, though perhaps not the exact demographic.
Can we avoid turning Lemmy.world into a political car fight and stick to the particulars of the issues instead of name calling. Whether right or wrong saying “that’s the same demographic as trump supporters” doesn’t add to the conversation, it’s just inflammatory
