In a recent post, I tried to answer the question: just who are all these Trump supporters?
The submission from a reader (at left) provides a pretty solid answer.
If your capacity to think allows you to draw ridiculous conclusions about Democrats (killing babies?!), then you have what it takes to stand behind the president.
There are two basic answers to the question:
1) Anyone who understands that the scientists who study a certain subject know more about that subject than pastry chefs or baseball coaches.
2) People with real assets at risk. Yes, this includes insurance companies, but also organizations like the U.S. military who need to protect our country when large parts of the world become uninhabitable and hundreds of millions of desperate “climate refugees” come looking for a safe place to live.
If you think the recent Battle of Aleppo wasn’t at least partially caused by the scarcity of resources due to climate change, you’re mistaken.
Re: Trump’s post at left, is it possible that he simply ignores you because you’re criminally insane?
When I was a little boy, my maternal grandfather told me never to argue with a crazy person, which made a great deal of sense to me, and it’s advice I’ve followed all my life.
Worth 60 seconds of your life? I think so.
Here’s a short video in which a local news meteorologist from Florida apologizes to viewers for his inability to predict weather, including as an example, the point and time at which a certain hurricane is going to make landfall. As the culprit, he points to government cuts in spending on things like weather balloons and other technologies that save lives, as if there is a higher purpose, implying that Floridians’ lives are expendable.
Part of me wonders what he’s doing now. Selling cars? Landscaping? Serving time in El Salvador? He couldn’t possibly be excused for implying that the Trump/Musk team is sentencing uncountable numbers of Florida’s citizens to violent deaths.
Wow, that’s a tough question.
Btw, have you ever heard of the U.S. Constitution?
To the reader who sent me this meme:
There are really only two types of Americans. Those who see this and say:
a) “Yeah! Trump kicks ass for all his rich white supporters. He’s not woke, and nothing else matters.”
or
b) “This is the type of criminality that we see in dictatorships on Earth, and the fact that it’s risen to the top echelon of the United States is a catastrophe for every American citizen, and all other people around the globe.”
At left is an invitation to a webinar on the false narratives put forth by the fossil fuel industry:
Carbon capture and sequestration, challenges with lithium, controversy surrounding climate change, lack of reliability of solar and wind, dangers of nuclear, America’s need for energy independence/our nation’s need to start drilling for our own oil, no need to protect the arctic, etc.
Then, of course, there are the BS claims made over the last half century that Big Oil is earnestly working on biofuels and/or hydrogen.
