    it’s centrists and progressives who arguably have more money who are buying these cars

    What are they to buy alternatively? The basically non-existent sanely sized cars?

      This is a bit dramatic. There are plenty of sanely sized cars available, and its not like everyone yearns for them but is forced into a suburban. Last time I checked you could still buy a corolla, an H-RV, a leaf, crosstrek, civic, Prius, several minis, a Mazda 3, BMW 1, etc. If people literally just bought rav4s instead of giant SUVs the average vehicle size would be significantly smaller, even though the rest of world thinks those are huge too.

      Exactly, which is why I reject the premise of the comic. People are just buying what’s available/affordable, not out of some ideological creed
