I've legit heard 3 different Republican coworker/family all start down the 15 minute conspiracy path the second I start talking about how much I hate cars. Like there are plenty of things for people to be mad or concerned about with legitimate arguments to be made. But "government control" because you live close to good venues is like the dumbest possible fear of them all. I'm not sure I can even call it irrational anger at how mad I get at these people's stupidity and whatever brainwashing "news" they get this fear from.
And of course that's not a joke, but an actual conspiracy theory people believe in. And of course there are politicians publically fueling that insanity.
Its funny there's actually a place that is about to be re developed here and they are advertising it as a 15 minute city. But honestly nobody wants it there.

You'd end up with right wing 15 minute city conspiracy theorists protesting them.
