Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with President Joe Biden’s policies.
The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.
Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.
It’s not like they’d be openly Russian. Did you miss the last 8 years of American politics? It’s all astroturfed subterfuge.
oh, absolutely. but, as you have pointed out, we have had 8 years of covert/overt interference. anyone who cares is going to be looking out for it more intently now.
I may be overly optimistic, but surely the easily manipulated crazies have mostly migrated to the right, leaving the slightly less insane of us to figure out what to do next.
like the recent UFO / UAP crap… who the hell is watching this circus side show distraction? no one I know. the distractions are wearing thin, especially as the world bakes.
The whole COVID shitshow has made it very clear to me that crazies exist everywhere, on every side. Thinking one side is “too smart” to be manipulated is a great way to overlook that very manipulation.
“similar priorities” instead of “smart”?
the self sorting has been hard and fast over the last 10 years. my point is that hopefully the alligned groups who prioritize things as I do, are less likely to be peeled off and rendered ineffective. I really do think the bulk of self sorting has already defined hard lines in global society.
