Supersized trucks are portrayed as bigger, bulkier and more dangerous
Ford pickup trucks have been an all-American classic for almost 50 years, but some liberal critics say the love affair should end because they are getting bigger, bulkier and more dangerous.
A new Axios report found small pickup trucks have all but disappeared from the market to accommodate changing lifestyles and Americans' obsession with bigger and better.
Yet, some experts say the push for supersized trucks is creating a greater risk to pedestrians and other drivers - who aren't often seen in blind spots -because of how high the trucks sit. The gas-guzzlers are also a growing concern as companies attempt to move away from fossil fuels to electric-powered vehicles.
Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway said "it's not surprising" that the left wants to take trucks away.
"America was built on trucks. I mean, it was the trucks [that] helped build everything that matters in this country," Hemingway explained Tuesday on "Outnumbered."
"[The left] doesn't like people having control over their own lives. And there's this growing authoritarian impulse on the left that has to be stopped. But you pray that … people care enough about it that they'll resist it."

If that's how they want it then they need to lead by example.
Moving forward, ALL Congressmen, Senators, their personnel, Mayors, Governors etc need to be required to ONLY use Prius for their transportation.
The Presidents "Beast" shall be replaced with a Secret Service Driver in a Smart Car.
