I'm completely lost. Is this a joke that went over my head?

The latest right wing culture war is apparently that the government is coming for your gas stoves. Which is utter bullshit. The closest thing in reality to that that I can find is that, to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels, the government is encouraging (it's not a law) new construction to have electric stoves and tankless, electric water heaters, with no gas lines, but you can still buy a gas burner for cooking and use propane - this just reduces overall gas use and waste, reduces the cost of new construction, and in no way, shape, or form affects existing structures.

But this isn't stopping the loonies from posting pics of their stoves and pretending they're "owning the libs" by having fire, I guess. Some are even claiming they just turn their stove on full and let it burn all day now, which is like the stupid self-own version of rolling coal, I guess?

Anyway, the poster that OP posted is making a joke about it, because liberals really don't give a shit whether or not you own a stove. 

Any phase out of gas is going to be more than a decade away at best, and will never be total because - as many people rightly point out - gas fires are superior for cooking and people gotta eat. Even the most strict legislation I've seen proposed (it didn't pass) still allowed restaurants to use gas for cooking. Of note: That legislation was several years ago and it wasn't close to passing.
