No more going wobbly in climate fight, Trump supporters vow
Put Trump back in the White House and we’ll see an all out war on the planet led by Republicans and the fossil fuel industry.
In the same interview with Sean Hannity when Trump said he’d be a dictator, he also promised that he would “drill, drill, drill”.
His lust for fossil fuels only continues to grow.
Former President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, staffed his environmental agencies with fossil fuel lobbyists and claimed — against all scientific evidence — that the Earth’s rising temperatures will “ start getting cooler.”
Expect a second Trump presidency to show less restraint.
Trump’s campaign utterances, and the policy proposals being drafted by hundreds of his supporters, point to the likelihood that his return to the White House would bring an all-out war on climate science and policies — eclipsing even his first-term efforts that brought U.S. climate action to a virtual standstill. Those could include steps that aides shrank back from taking last time, such as meddling in the findings of federal climate reports.

But as the GOP front-runner, he’s gone back to alleging that human-caused global warming is fake, is baselessly blaming whale deaths on wind turbines and said last month that if elected he would be a “ dictator for one day” — in part so he could “drill, drill, drill.”
Meanwhile, many of his former staffers are building out a comprehensive plan to decimate both climate policy and regulations on fossil fuels. And Trump allies expect that the former president would fill his next administration with officials who are even more hostile to efforts to address global warming.The people on the fringe who claim that both parties are alike seem like even bigger idiots with each passing day. Putzing around with third parties is like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver.
The only way to avert a disaster for democracy and a planetary catastrophe is to vote and Vote Democratic.
It’s always easier to prevent a dictatorship than it is to end it once it’s in power.
A second Trump Presidency would be a fatal blow to any attempts to avert the looming climate catastrophe. As if you needed yet another reason to make sure he never holds office again!
Ah, the Democrats still have “not being the republicans” as their only real platform people care about.
If only they didn’t actively shift US politics to the right making the republicans job easier.
