If your goal is to reduce the amount of pickup trucks and SUVs on the road, then you’re going to have to convince people who drive those vehicles to stop. Opening by calling that audience “grade A assholes” is probably not winning anyone over toward your cause. You’d probably have better luck telling them how beneficial it would be for them, those they care about, their community, etc., rather than taking an adversarial tone.

At this point it's pretty clear that they don't actually care about any of those things. You can tell them all about benefits, but the only "benefit" those people are shooting for is "Pwn the Libs!" and if they have to sacrifice their descendants' futures to do it, well... "Sorry, kids... No future for you. Blame the Democrats."

The only way to do this is by:

1. Forcing those cars to stop being made, or made differently

2. Require special requirements, like a new license

3. Have a special tax

It's all money and politics. Mean words mean nothing, you can't convince people to do stuff that way.
