I know that rational people find it hard to believe, but there are still a ton of Americans that are willing to let the GOP still keep power because they think that #BothSidesAreBad in our two-party political system that we've allowed to keep control over our political landscape here.
Well, if you care about our #ClimateCrisis and you're willing to do something about it than you #Vote and you #VoteBlue
This is just a plain undeniable truth.
A solid majority (56%) overall called climate change a major threat, including almost 9 in 10 Democrats and a slim majority of independents. But 70% of Republicans said it's either just a minor threat or no threat at all.

@GreenFire A combination of rationalizing, denial, and ignorance. A common problem for lay people is who they chose to vest their trust in, and commonly that trust goes to the source that resonates with their wishful thinking, prejudices, and perceived self interest.
@GreenFire The much larger question is how do you as a patriotic citizen of the USA come to vest yourself in a mentally ill CROOK? If patriotic is defined as believing in the Constitution and the ideals upon the country was founded, there definitely is a disconnect. We have several million people who give it contorted lip service, but they are not patriotic at all. More like sad racists or Fool’d Ya scam artists and traitors trying to get one over on their neighbors. 😞
@Huntn00
The last more than a few years have been a real wake up call towards alerting us to what some Americans think about our democratic republic form of government for sure.
I don't think that there's anything ethical or good for democracy that we can do about the anti-democratic Americans themselves. Hopefully, enough of them on the left side of the aisle are now going to get more involved in government and elections so that we can get and keep them out of power otherwise idk.
@GreenFire It was said today on the radio that every new inditement could solidify Trump’s nomination as the GOzP Beelzebub * candidate for POTUS. *I added. 🫣 This certainly is not my Grandfathers or Father’s GOP. Some hard core breaking bad action going here. It’s not just his politics but his bankrupt moral nature would have sent chills down traditional Republican’s backs, if there any of those left.
@Huntn00 @GreenFire This is so true! Many people also don't really pay attention to what's happening in politics—either at the national level, or at the local level.
