    I keep saying this about politicians in general.

    For example, do we really think that Republicans don’t believe in climate change? Their uneducated electorate, maybe, but a bunch of ivy league educated lawyers sitting in DC? They know. They just prioritize profitability over truth, and we’re all left to pick up the pieces.

    We in the US have the illusion of democracy, a non-representative government that purports itself to be ‘for the people’. It keeps up the illusion just enough to maintain its own existence.
