Why your stove and showerhead got roped into Trump's culture wars
Briefly

Home appliance efficiency standards, once a bipartisan issue, have become contentious amidst political polarization. With Republicans now controlling the White House and Congress, there is a renewed focus on repealing such standards, framed by the Trump administration as an attack on personal freedom and choice. Notably, President Trump has targeted low-flow showerheads and other conservation measures, rejecting them as burdens. This shift highlights a broader political strategy that positions home efficiency standards as symbolic of governmental overreach, igniting a culture war around everyday household choices.
"This isn't about appliance performance; it's about a war on freedom over basic home goods that many Americans depend on."
