I have a handful of tankie capitalism and "democracy" loving, American "traditional" leaning and religious Republican coworkers who absolutely still believe that he's a genius. They feel that way about other billionaires too.

Edit: TIL that "tankie" doesn't mean "capitalism and 'democracy' loving, American 'traditional' leaning and religious Republicans." I guess the shorthand for that is just "stereotypical conservative."

tankie

I think you were looking for the word "ancap" instead.

Are your tankie friends buying tesla vehicles?

Edit - real question. I have doubts his neo nazi/ libertarian followers are buying EVs because they seem to actively want to harm the environment as much as possible.

I'm genuinely curious what the tankie demographic is like. I could see them as off the grid solar/battery doomsday prepper types.

That’s lovely, but conservatives aren’t the market for solar panels and electric cars.
