    My takeaway is that half of our country is dumb as shit if they are considering voting for any of them. The denial of climate change should be game over considering the entire world is on fire around us.

        Another way to say it is that they are dumb as shit. They make absolutely no effort to investigate issues themselves and instead rely on Fox to tell them what to think. It should be embarrassing to be that willingly ignorant but they have no shame.

        I’ve seen discount Kermit Peterson try to pivot to the idea that climate change actually saves lives because more people die during winter. I wonder if he’d be willing to say that to the face of people who have lost everything because of the recent Hilary storm.

        Did we watch the same debate? Ramaswamy said “climate change is a hoax” and the crowd erupted in boos and jeers.

        I think the climate change reality is a shared belief now. The disagreement between parties is in how we handle it. Ramaswamy is nutty and is clinging to the hardest right talking points.
