@JeremytheJedi what does that have to do with “right to repair”?
@clmerle it’s pointing out the stupidity of that conservative talking point—everywhere in the right wing media sphere is the explicitly stated premise that Democrats are the party of the coastal elite & Big Tech who hate salt of the earth, god fearing, rural “real Americans”. There’s 22 current GOP trifectas…and yet it’s *the Democratic trifecta in Colorado* actually looking out for the interests of farmers/heavy equipment operators by passing this bill.
@JeremytheJedi ah, okay. We could use a Dem trifecta here in Arizona. At least we have a D gov. She’s mostly vetoing shitty bills Republicans have been passing. Thankfully, they do not have a supermajority.
