Tesla is such a clear symptom of this. I love cars. I’m on the left. Both groups hate Tesla by majority. The left hates Musk and fascism. Car enthusiasts lean right and hate EVs for being boring/what they consider fascism (EV mandates that they don’t understand). The left reports they’ve left tesla for other EVs. The gearheads keep showing “proof” EV (Tesla) sales are down and the truck segment keeps showing how bad the cyber truck is. And yet, I continue to see brand new Teslas driving around. There’s a ~2023 model refresh on the 3/Y that makes them stand out. I see a different cyber truck almost daily (most I see are vinyl wrapped a different color to be unique).
They don’t give a shit about the big picture. It’s a personal-gain-today decision.
