Why do we believe this truck owning person is conservative? Because they are “protesting” electric vehicles? Because they seem uneducated or proudly ignorant?

That's about it, yes.

So if we associate a stupid person with “deduct a point from conversatives” without any basis for knowing they are conservative

Seeing them use a giant pickup truck to ruin the day of electric car owners simply for the sake of pissing them off and asserting their dominance is a pretty good basis for knowing they're conservative. The first time I encounter an asshole pickup driver who hates electric cars and loves to spoil the day of anyone who drives one, yet who embraces left-wing politics, I will change my mind about the "right wing" stereotype. Until then, it has a pretty solid hit rate.
