The chickens are coming home to roost for Joe Biden's disastrous electric vehicle mandates, and Ford Motor Company just paid a staggering $19.5 billion price for buying into the Democrats' green energy fantasy.

The American automaker has officially abandoned its plans for a next-generation all-electric F-150, delivering a crushing blow to the outgoing Biden administration's war on gas-powered vehicles. Ford's leadership is now openly admitting what every red-blooded American truck owner already knew: customers aren't drinking the EV Kool-Aid that Washington bureaucrats have been force-feeding them.

This isn't just about one company's bad investment - it's a referendum on four years of radical environmental policies that ignored economic reality and consumer demand. While Biden and his climate czars pushed their unrealistic regulatory timelines, real Americans kept choosing reliable, affordable gas-powered vehicles.

"Because of another failed Democrat policy push. Trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist and creating a product that's not viable or wanted," posted @rawfacts101 on social media, perfectly capturing the frustration of millions of Americans who watched this train wreck unfold.

Ford's massive writeoff comes at the perfect time for President Trump's second term agenda. The Trump-Vance administration has already signaled its intention to roll back the previous administration's punishing EV mandates and restore America's energy independence with an "America First" approach.

The market has spoken, and it's chosen freedom over force, practicality over progressive virtue signaling. Ford's $20 billion loss is Biden's legacy written in red ink - a monument to what happens when government tries to pick winners and losers instead of letting the free market decide.

Patriots across social media are celebrating this vindication of common sense, with many pointing out that this disaster was entirely predictable. The only surprise is that it took this long for corporate America to admit what Main Street America knew all along.

With Trump back in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress, expect to see more companies quietly abandoning the green energy boondoggles that never made economic sense in the first place. The era of government-mandated environmental extremism is over, and American innovation is about to be unleashed once again.

I called this disaster from day one! You can't force Americans to buy vehicles they don't want. The free market always wins in the end.

Exactly right Mike. Government picking winners and losers never works out.

20 BILLION down the drain! How many American jobs could that money have created instead of wasting it on Biden's climate cult agenda?

My brother works at a Ford dealership and he says the Lightning trucks just sit on the lot for months. Meanwhile, the gas F-150s fly off the lot. Real working Americans know what they need.

Same story here in Ohio. The dealers can't move these electric trucks. Too expensive and not practical for real work.

This is what happens when politicians who've never run a business try to control the economy. Ford should have stuck to what works instead of chasing government subsidies.
