Liberal Commentator Rages Over Cost of California's Electric Car Shift

Far-left pundit Ana Kasparian has a complete meltdown over the cost of climate change policies: 'I am freaking the f*** out!'

Far-left YouTube pundit Ana Kasparian went into an expletive-filled meltdown over the cost of liberal policies to combat climate change.

Kasparian made the comments on a member video feed for the progressive "Young Turks" YouTube channel with co-host Cenk Uygur.

The progressives were discussing California's plans to phase out gas-powered cars and gas stoves when Kasparian launched into a rant about the cost to build charging stations at the housing association where she lives.

"They just ban the sale of any new gas-powered cars or gas stoves," she said. "And so the technology that you have at your home, the gas stove that you have at your home, if it breaks, not only are you not able to buy a new one, but it gets increasingly more difficult, you get what I'm saying?"

"I get it, but that's the normal bumps in the road as you transition to things," Uygur replied.

Mmm, not quite. The Young Turks have had an audience/presence in the crazy world of internet "news" shows for about 20 years now. What our resident sheet wearer and his willfully ignorant ilk delude themselves with is the notion that the MAGA/teabagger/neocon folk are in sync with Kasparian on this.

Far from it. The aforementioned right wing wonks always screamed about gov't spending on alternative energy and such (i.e., electric cars). They were dead set against any gov't interference in private industry, or private industry hefting the burden of cost for change and therefore left little alternatives.

But in true dubious fashion, the right wing wonks will falsely claim camaraderie so as to mock the "libs".

I generally have completely opposite politics of her, but I’ve followed her for years. You are correct though, she and Cenk are pretty big with the Bernie and progressive crowd.

Is that all you ever do? How about you discuss the topic instead of your usual tactic of attacking the source? I can only assume that there will be many more on the Left that will wake up as she has done.

The Young Turks Ana Kasparian flipped out over “bullshit” climate initiatives during a recent members only episode of the show

The Young Turks Ana Kasparian flipped out over “bullshit” climate initiatives during a recent members only episode of the show.

A clip from the meltdown began circulating on Twitter via Sean Fitzgerald. Kasparian discussed the desire to help the climate but was frustrated about the burden placed on the middle class to make that happen.

“The way that it happens is, I know that in California, at least with the phasing out of gas powered cars, and they’ll probably do the same thing with gas stoves, is they just ban the sale of any new gas powered cars or any new gas stoves,” Kasparian said. “So the technology that you have in your home, the gas stove that you have in your home, if it breaks, not only are you not able to buy a new one, but it gets increasingly more difficult to just repair it. You get what I’m saying?”

“That’s the normal bumps in the road as you transition to things,” co-host Cenk Uygur noted.

“Don’t minimize the financial burdens associated with these things. Okay. Because like I am literally freaking the fuck out about the charging station thing… We’re gonna take out a massive fucking loan to pay for it. We’re not getting any help from the fucking government on that,” Kasparian pushed back, citing a personal issue with her home owners association.

Uygur tried to steer the conversation in a more positive direction, asking if there were any tax credits Kasparian could possibly receive for the purchase.

“I don’t give a fuck about tax credits. No, there’s been no talk of tax credits. I haven’t seen anything about tax credits. I should look into it. Maybe there are tax credits, but I don’t give a fuck about tax credits because you have to shell out cash. Okay. I wanna do something in response to climate change. That is not my issue here. My issue is how, like we’re forced to make all these changes that are a financial burden, a giant inconvenience with like little to no help,” Kasparian ranted.

She noted that instead of tax credits, she would rather get her money back.

“Give me the money,” Kasparian said angrily, staring down the camera lens. “You give me the money. Don’t tell me this bullshit about how I have to buy like some new fucking thing cause the government’s forcing me to do it. And then like after I file my taxes, there’s a certain portion of that purchase that might be tax deductible. Like, fuck off! I’m so sick of it. It’s just like endless pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure.”

Uygur noted that there is too much pressure put on those in the middle class.

“The middle class is the most fucked group of people in this country,” Kasparian said.

“No, I hear you on all that,” Uygur said. “But at some point we gotta go to electric cars. We don’t have a choice — like the planet’s burning, so we gotta go to electric cars. So when California says, ‘Hey, let’s go to electric cars, by 2025,’ — It’s gonna be tough.”

“But Cenk, Let’s not minimize the cost of like actually charging those cars, right?” Kasparian said.

The clip quickly went viral with reactions of support, with some welcoming the liberal Kasparian to the Republican party, and others just dunking on the general idea of someone on the left supposedly finding out the “consequences” of their policies.

She has woken up finally, I can only imagine that many others will as well.

Thanks for representing EXACTLY what I stated, Dippy. Hope this satisfies your consistent want for my attention when you get all those "ignore" notices. You may now go back on the list for another month. Have fun!

So you've got a little list, somehow I doubt you're a fan of Gilbert and Sullivan though!

 
Tesla builds charging stations. General Motors has stations planned across the country and is building them. It is also a for-profit industry.

Who is going to pay for the new power grid infrastructure? You're talking several trillion dollars at least.

And then along came DeSantis and his war on Disney. Suddenly, it's cool to use the power of govt. against a private company that disagrees with your political POV!

I've run into the Young Turks' stuff before, but not Ms. Kasparian. I tend to avoid those on the far edges of both L and R, but do confess to a liking for Wonkette. lol

Nordy, you do understand the time and cost to recharge can exceed the cost of gasoline do you not?
We can talk about the inconvenience at a later date.
