Keep denying global warming, conservative Republican rugged individualists.

Every time a con Rethug denies science, science seems to strike back.

Sad but true.

Will Trump continue to deny science? Of course the orange turd will.

But..

Will so-called rugged individualists rebuild themselves or will they beg for federal govt bailouts and benefits?

WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE. When the shit hits the fan, they rationalize and conceptualize the utilization of socialism as a potential good fucking thing for their future aspirations of once again being a rugged individualist.

DeSantis goes from rugged individualist to big-spending Marxist the moment a hurricane ravages his state.
