    I find it really baffling that climate change denial is so strong in America given the ectreme effects the country is already seeing.

      Unfortunately, Republicans have spent decades systematically destroying public education in this country, and this is the end result. When Trump said “I love the poorly educated” back in 2016 he wasn’t really saying anything new or breaking from the mainstream GOP stance… He was just honest about it, unlike the rest of the GOP who have always described their supporters with cynical euphemisms like “salt of the earth” and “regular folk” when they really mean ignorant rubes.
