Republicans have nothing of substance to talk about, so they're pretending that President Biden is going to break down your door and haul away your gas stove. Maybe he's hooking up a trailer to his Corvette?

Look at all of these states that have made sure that individual cities can't pass climate-friendly legislation to prevent gas stoves in new construction. Not taking anything away – if you want to move into an apartment with a gas range, you pick an apartment built before 2019 or 2027.

(The graphic is from 2022. Only the states that are red on this map have passed laws preventing gas bans. Michigan's legislation didn't pass and former Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf vetoed that state's bill.)

I like gas cooking too. I shrugged when I found the right condo and it was electric, not gas. Now that I've learned about the climate and health issues of gas, I'm glad I have electric.

@MariaHill

As a super liberal who is surrounded by super liberals, not one time has anyone ever identified gas stoves as our next hill to do battle.
We’re all still caught up with disenfranchised voters and the right to our bodily privacy etc.

@MJ @MariaHill
Did most of the people replying to you decide to take the weekend off from reading comprehension, MJ?!
Here you are talking about the important things we should be focusing on, and all most of them seem to be replying with is 'but mah gas stove!'

Fuck the gas stoves. I don't care what I'm cooking on until we get equal voting rights for all and bodily autonomy.

*Edited to acknowledge that there were a few replies that stayed on topic.

@AgentCarter_SSR @MariaHill @MJ The “hippy kooks” one is really bad.

The point of Maria’s post and MJ’s reply, as I’ve talked to both, is that NOBODY is coming to take your damn gas stove, not that liberals are overreaching.

@TonyStark @AgentCarter_SSR @MariaHill @MJ no one is coming for anyone’s gas stove, no one is coming to take their guns, no one is coming to take their hamburgers, no one is coming to take their trucks,no one is coming to do any of the things FOX tells their uninformed base to be afraid of constantly. Same pattern, different fear flavor of the month. All they have to sell is fear to keep the base in line.

@AgentCarter_SSR @MariaHill @TheBatman @MJ And, on top of that, they are actually coming for people’s things- like their bodily autonomy, healthcare, Social Security, and right to marry who we want.

@TonyStark @AgentCarter_SSR @MariaHill @TheBatman @MJ Right! And they are so cynical that most of them probably care little if at all all about any of these issues, but promote them simply to solidify their MAGA and christo- nationalist base.
