over the edge. Dems will control what you drive (electric cars), what you eat (no meat allowed), what job you have (? no Keystone pipeline?) and on and on. Thirty-five years of this totally fabricated fear-mongering, divisiveness and just plain bullshit has left us where we are. Totally fractured over lies and propaganda. It's non-stop and the hate silo has lots of new "personalities" who copied his model. Faux News made it into a network. Banned in parts of Europe as it is not legitimate news, but this crap dominates the airwaves in U.S. Look no further as to how we got here. Cult 45 is the culmination and they are far from done. We are at war, and they brought it. Let us hope sanity prevails.

And throw in a little "God put the earth here for us to rape and pillage".

(2,871 posts)I completely agree with addressing climate change. I question whether Day One priority is that however. My worry is that we will dilute our thin mandate and risk delivering on little by spreading our legislative initiatives and energy too broadly.

(5,267 posts)Rush and rightwing echo machine are purposely fearmongering over economic fallout from climate action because Rush & Co. don't want their audience to understand that Joe wants to fight Covid as his top priority to help our health and financial well-being and get Schools and economy running because maybe they will approve of Biden and Dems agenda.

(2,871 posts)Who will you vote for next time...the people that got you fed, killed a dread disease, got your kid back to school and propped up the economy or the Do Nothings But Talk and Fearmonger? And the Repubs know that if they lose serious ground in 2022 in the Senate and the House and hopefully in down ballot state level elections too, they are truly on the ropes. It still amazes me that Trump alone didn't put them on the ropes this time, but here we are.
