They get unnecessarily VIOLENTLY angry if you address how other political issues are also important.
They are rabid, and do not have ‘chill’ mode. It’s impossible talking to them at all. They also force their beliefs about using public transportation on everyone when they don’t take into account that not everyone lives in a city.
Also, they fail to acknowledge that public transportation is not safe.
Listen, I get that climate change is a thing. But it’s not THEE ultimate and almighty issue.
Have you ever been on a road trip with the family, and you’ve been stuck in traffic for a while, and you start to get low on gas, but the next station is closed, and you aren’t sure if you’ll make it to the next gas station, so your trying to drive in a way that conserves fuel, but the traffic is barely moving? And then two people in the back start arguing over the song on the radio, and they demand you change the station? This is like that, except if you run out of gas, everyone on earth will die. Everyone you care about will suffer and die. All of the children everywhere, whether they starve or freeze or drown or burn, their lives will all be cut painfully short, all because you ran out of gas.
And you’re in the back whining about the stereo.
