I agree that climate change is a global problem, but letting the one candidate who said "drill baby, drill," got $75mil investments from Big Oil, has indicated he'd be a dictator, and has explicitly called climate change a hoax—we can just let him win, because surely he won't put the boot upon the climate activists and suppress any effort to do anything meaningful about the climate?
Is that your plan? Because I fail to see how electing Donald Trump will give you the status quo you're assuming you'll have to be able to effect any sort of climate agenda.
Do all those activist things, but don't be so gullible or naive to think that the judges the president will pick, the Congresspersons and lobbying interests they choose to listen to, the people they appoint to their cabinet, and countries they do business with are tantamount to nothing.
Unless you sincerely think that stuff is tantamount to nothing compared to protests, in which case, I wish I could be that privileged and divorced from reality.
Climate activists are already being beaten and arrested pretty much all around the world.
So, not going to answer the questions I asked you and just pretend it's going to be exactly the same under both candidates?
Is that your strategy? Are you a troll?
Yes, they are a troll.
you sound like a malicious ignorant
Yep, that's me.
What is exactly your question?
My "strategy" aka the right thing to do is to not endorse or advocate for criminals. Simple as that
Or a non-US psyop agent, or a GOP supporter
I'm pointing out the government is shit. Of course i must be a psyop agent from the "enemy". Our government is the best in the world and never do anything wrong.
You might be.
Nobody is claiming it doesn't have problems. If you haven't been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.
As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.

You're advocating for trump so yeah so no one believes this
I only vote for criminals. fuck the law
If you can't be bothered to read and engage seriously, then you're a troll, whether intentionally or unwittingly. I'm not going to go read for you.
Have a day, and maybe learn some reading comprehension skills.
