It’s also ignoring everything their fellow republicans are doing. Nevermind the secretary of transportations bullshit, local politics is where most of this kind of shit starts. My town put in protected bike lanes (protected only by collapsible plastic rods), and all the Republican f-550 Sherman tank edition truck owners bitched they couldn’t fit their tanks on the roads until they literally ripped them out a few years later.
But the Sherman is relatively small as far as tanks go, both in modern context and even back in its day.
The Sherman was the smaller, lighter, cheaper tank that wasn’t as good as most of its rivals on the battlefield, but made up for it by being cheaper and easier to produce, so they were able to field more of them and win through numbers.

That is a good point and shows how little I know about tanks
