The raping of the environment begins...

Yeah, I just posted that I am stepping away from RF for at least a while.

But this headline just caught my eye and because the protection of the natural world is my priority - and standing up for your average working folk (there should be no tension between the two - I wanted to highlight this foreboding development.

This is one of the consequences of voting for Trump:

Sure, secure the border - but rape Mother Earth too?

God help us.

'As a congressman from New York, Zeldin received the League of Conservation Voters’ worst score on environmental issues out of the entire New York delegation in 2020.'

Can you believe this guy seems to think environmental issues are left wing issues as opposed to a pressing threat to the entire human race? As usual Trump and co are a sick joke of a presidency in my view.

Excellent choice.

At least I don't see him murdering beloved squirrels and raccoons by millions of people and absolutely destroy an animal rescue sanctuary and you even call that the EPA?

This agency needs to be abolished in my view, but I'm sure things will change real soon here in the people's Republic of New York and wish him the best in the new soon to be improved Administration. It's about freaking time citizens in the People's Republic of New York gets a break for once from the Democrat police state here.

Republicans deny climate science because they're heavily in the pockets of Big Fossil Fuel. (Oil, Coal, etc)
Republican policy is to remove safety regulations, increase corporate welfare (subsidies) and lower corporate taxes.
You've probably heard the saying "Shrink government to where it can be drowned in a bathtub." (No regulations, no taxes, etc for corporations)

Conservative media does the bidding of these corporate elitists by tricking their audience into supporting climate denialism.

Yes it will in my view, the climate is shared by us all FYI.

Exactly. The decisions made by the new president will have global consequences.
