Meanwhile the toxic planet they're making

(59,614 posts)The six-toothed, cousin-fucking, small-engine repair-shop owners;
The smug, neo-Babbitts of the Wakeeney, KS Rotary Club;
The drunk uncles with the "Hillary For Prison" tees, the "I Don't Believe The Liberal Media" bumperstickers and the email forwards entitled "Proof Of The Cilatem Change HOXA!!"
The AG preachers who rail against uppity women and disobedient children, citing Old Testament death penalties as part of the "Good News" - the ones who endorse GOP candidates from the pulpit while keeping a watchful eye on their kiddie porn stash;
The coal-rolling rednecks, mid-five figures in debt for their testosterone shitwagons, the guys who like to spend their spare time keying any stray Prius that might pause in town;
Those voters?

(38,477 posts)Some Republican voters will give a damn... Hard to know who or how many..but polls will show they do give a damn. Sure, some won't.,,but many will. I do believe some in Congress will show the same disgust with Trump. That will come in the next few days.

And that will be the end of it.

So, 20 GOP House members who very publicly "care" about the environment.
Of that total, 3 said Trump screwed up, three said Trump screwed up but it was really Obama's fault, one said it was all Obama's fault, one whined about the agreement, and 12 said nothing. Nothing at all. They couldn't even find 140 characters within themselves.
Oh, and these are the "green" Republicans, remember that.

(10,500 posts)Why shouldn't we pull out of the Paris agreement? It is based on a supposed lie.
We can't blame Donald Trump for the ignorance of all Republicans.
