    a mistrust of MSM

    If even in the face of mainstream media’s recent but rapid decline you still implicitly trust it, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

    they both really enjoy ‘trolling the libs’

    The libs kind of deserve to be trolled. Do you really think the Dems have our best interests at heart? Look no further than the Dem’s action on climate change. We need drastic and swift changes enacted. I don’t know if one could even make the argument that they’ve made marginal progress. But any lib could give me a laundry list of reasons why it can’t be done and how I should just accept the extinction of the human race. Sorry, but I refuse to do so.

    stringing up a part of the population would solve their problems

    See the paradox of intolerance.

      Not American, but bidenomics like the IRA is seen from Europe as the biggest and best thing the US has ever done on climate change.

      Fiscal stimulus post GFC was very effective compared to Europe’s austerity. 4T dollars in GDP.

        And yet, Biden’s administration approved more permits for oil and gas drilling in it’s first two years than Trump’s admin. Not to mention Biden has been supporting the Mountain Valley pipeline construction. Meanwhile oil companies reported record profits for 2022 and last month was the hottest July in recorded history.

        Capitalism and the libs that uphold it are completely and utterly incapable of addressing climate change.

          Net zero doesn’t mean zero oil though. Energy security is a necessity during transition away from fossil fuels.

          We’ll still need oil.
