Keep in mind that, in 2020, more than 70 million voters cast their ballots for Trump, who, though he is a pathological liar, is 100% trusted by his supporters. When Trump said the election was rigged, the vast majority of these folks believed him. Even today, more than five years later, there are still millions of people who believe there was rampant voter fraud in the election.
Now, is storming the Capitol and beating up/killing law enforcement personnel an acceptable solution? It wouldn’t be for you or me, or most people, but imagine you’re an uneducated white-supremacist MAGA guy, and your president is telling you to do whatever’s necessary to prevent the election from being certified.
These are people who were so desperate to hang Mike Pence that the vice president had to be escorted out of the Capitol building to a secret and secure location, so he didn’t end up at the end of a rope.
When asked about this, Trump replied, “Maybe he deserved it.” To anyone trying to make sense of this, remember that you’re dealing with a deeply disturbed individual, and many millions of truly pathetic people who believe his is an honest and effective servant of the American people. In congress, we have a couple of hundred of the most terrible butt-kissers imaginable, all clamoring to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, there are tens of millions of morons who believe hateful garage like this.
The average 10-year-old can understand that we can BOTH protect our citizens while obeying the U.S. Constitution and international law when it comes to treating the undocumented legally and humanely.
Again, this is what is called the logical fallacy of the “false dichotomy.” Only idiots believe we have to choose one over the other.
I would say that the regulations on energy (and transportation) companies should be sufficient to put pressure on them to phase out fossil fuels and decarbonize in favor of renewables and nuclear.

One might think that being surrounded by experts would be eutopia, but it’s not everything it’s cracked up to be.
At left is an expression of what life in the United States has become over the last decade, which differs greatly from the experiences of those in the rest of the world.
Trump supporters have, at various times, been experts in macroeconomics, epidemiology, and above all, climate science.
