Boaters don't really get much respect from Democrats either. That is

I've never heard that, can you show me where this has been said?

Look at any dredging project that was stopped "for environmental
reasons" or to save the manatee. Maybe that doesn't happen some places
but it is very common.

What you suggest is like saying there is a movement to stop paving
roads because people with large SUVs use them. I've never heard
anybody propose that, either.

They take money from road (gasoline) taxes to fund public
transportation all the time.

Apples and oranges.
