The Left is doing it wrong.

We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.

We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!

—BRANDING!!

    Online, there’s always this division and blame on either the left or right. In my real life experience amongst friends, people are more willing to have a normal conversation about different opinions without all the outrage like I see online.

        Outside the U.S. borders, probably.

        It’s not that there’s no political divide in other countries too, but the U.S. takes it to a whole new level, and in that sense, it’s a uniquely American problem. The stuff I read people saying about the opposing party seems absolutely insane to me as an outside observer. People basically seem to think the other side is wrong about everything, and their side is correct about everything. What are the odds of things actually being that way?

      Definitely not my experience. I live in a “blue” area but …. A friend up north gets worked up about vaccines, and his wife runs a daycare! He’s educated and intelligent but has entirely off-base assumptions. My brother in the Midwest works for a car manufacturer …. still thinks electric vehicles are a fad that don’t work and never will. “Look around you” does not compute because it’s “just Tesla” and everyone knows they have poor uplift and loosing tons of money and only survisipve on government handouts
