"Following the ban on Tesla direct sale in New Jersey, Elon Musk wrote a message to the people of New Jersey on the Tesla Motor's blog, explaining why they don't want to go through dealers and what will happen next with the stores in New Jersey. To put a context around the issue: Tesla soared in consumer satisfaction, while Ford dropped and it's likely to continue dropping.

That's not why they're called blue laws. They date back to the 17th century. Use Wikipedia.

I never said that was why they were called blue laws. Use some reading comprehension. The term "blue laws" obviously dates back much farther than when national TV news started showing state maps in blue and red during Presidential races; that only started in the last 10-20 years as I recall. It's just a handy coincidence that blue states seem to be rife with blue laws, despite Democrats claiming they want separation of church and state, which is obviously a lie.

You said:

If that isn't what you meant, you should have said something like:
> It's called "Blue Laws." You only find them in Democrat-leaning states like NJ, because apparently Democrats are really big on religious-based laws for some reason.
Please don't accuse me of being unable to read when your writing is ambiguous.
Anyway, I don't think that's necessarily true about them being mainly in Democratic states. And as the Democrats lean more and more toward atheism, it will become still less true.
