Burning your Carhartt Silverado to own the libs?
Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration exceeded its authority and struck down the “vaccine or test” rule for private sector employees.
Despite this ruling, Michigan-based work wear clothing company Carhartt announced to their employees they are keeping a company-wide vaccine mandate regardless of SCOTUS’s ruling. Carhartt’s leadership decided a scientifically proven safe vaccine was necessary protection for their workforce.
Fans of Carhartt, typically conservative, blue collar Americans who generally align with ideals of freedom and liberty, became angry at Carhartt for siding with vaccine mandates, and called for a national boycott of their products.
For many fans of Carhartt angered at their decision to uphold a vaccine mandate, burning their Carhartt gear is a no-brainer.
But, for other radicalized conservatives who decided to finance a Chevrolet Silverado Carhartt edition truck before the pandemic hit, they’re at a crossroads.
If you didn’t already know, at the tail end of 2019, Chevrolet announced they’re again partnering with Carhartt to produce a special edition based on a Silverado 2500 LTX crew cab with Z71 off-road package.
Along with different wheels, roof marker lamps and a Chevytec spray-on bedliner, the Carhartt edition got Carhartt-themed gold pinstripes, Carhartt exterior and interior badges, and Carhartt-themed stitching on seats, headrests, and floor liners.
All those extras pumped up an already pricey Silverado HD another $8,370. Added to a $60,000 Silverado HD and financed over five years, Silverado Carhartt Editions owners are easily paying over $1,000 a month.
On one hand, they have truck payments to make, and they still have to get to work.
But, the other hand, Carhartt…they’re for vaccine mandates. If they’re really all for freedom and liberty, the right thing to do is burn their truck, right?
You think I’m being sarcastic, but it’s a serious question being asked on social media.

Does he know the new Silverado comes in a Carhartt edition? Is he going to burn his truck too? Switch makes?

Since most level-headed Americans on either side of the vaccine mandate know that burning their Carhartt Silverados is not a practical option, a de-badge job and some heat gun work is the happy medium here.
But, as someone pointed out above, “If they’re about that life” you just might have to eat that loan payment every month and set fire to their Carhartt Silverados anyway.
It would behoove you to check on your city’s burn rules, as you might have to drive far past city limits to make burning your Carhartt Silverado legal.
What do you think? If you oppose what Carhartt’s doing but own a Carhartt Silverado, should you burn your truck to own the libs?
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Burning an expensive vehicle because of a vaccine mandate is not intelligent. Trade it or sell it.
