The corporate consultants who continue to control the Democrats’ messaging–even after they engineered the loses of 2024–don’t think that the devastation wrought by the climate crisis is worthy of being addressed by the party–even as the American public watches the country flood and burn.
Biden and his administration completely failed to explain to the American public what were the benefits, economic as well as to public health of his addressing the climate crisis. The public was just supposed to understand, while fossil fueled Republicans continued their high-decibel insistence that the climate crisis is a hoax. (They have now apparently adopted Dear Leader Trump’s belief that most of reality is a hoax.)
Now, evil, greed-sickened fanatics like Russell Vought have succeeded in succeeding in overturning everything Biden had attempted to do. And Democrats continue largely to stay silent.
In The New York Times, Lisa Friedman and Maxine Joselow describe Vought and his Republican acomplices’ relentless attempts to deny America’s children a future.
