At the expense of the earth and all life on it.

I can't wait to eat the rich with a side of whatever food hasn't been recalled or infected.

Would eating them be a health risk?

Being parasites.

Let's just use them as fuel. As proposed by their holy prophet Curtis Yarvin.

I've gotten looks for saying this, but I don't think I will ever forgive Trump voters for what they've done. I guess that first they would need to sincerely apologize, which I don't think will ever happen either.

Even if democrats win. It's going to take them at least 4 years to try and reverse the damage if they attempt to at all. Just so the next Republican can come in and undo it again

You mean US domestic damage? International damage will either take decades to rebuild the trust and even than it be more than tentative.

And with so many things timed to hit after midterms, they’ll be blamed for ‘great’ legislation from this term.

Lol. The assumption that Democrats aren't also bought and paid for by billionaires is laughable.

I didn't assume anything. Which is why I said if they even try to fix it

They're too ignorant to ever realize what they've done, other than what they see in front of their faces like gas prices.

I mean that what they've done is unforgivable. I'll live with them, work with them to fix this mess, but I will never forgive them. I've spoken to countless others that feel the same way.

I see. Yeah it's difficult to do so and only getting harder as time goes on.

Canadian wildfire smoke went south of the border and Trump responds with tariffs (instead of help with the fires). So I guess we know how Canada should respond to the increase in American coal pollution that will inevitably enter Canadian airspace.

Forget merely betraying your country, these people have betrayed their entire species.

Judas and Brutus at least can take comfort, at last we have much worse traitors to make an archetype in their place.

Hell yeah! Call us China and slap our ass. China has a huge lead though, they opening 50 new coal plants last year alone. The US hasn't opened a new one since 2013, fucking rookie numbers for destroying the planet.

Calling you China would downplay what you guys historcally emitted, the per capita emissions you basically always had (even when you... "tried"), and would whitewash the shit out of the co2-intensity of newly installed capacity.

So stop comparing yourself to china, which not only buffered the production capacity decline of the west and much of the rest of the world, but also elictrified their hinderland with breakneck speed while you guys guzzled on oil and wasted energy domestically and in useless wars like your live depended on destroying the planet.
