American conservatives are uniquely stupid I fear. These polls are from 2025:
An interesting hint at the total non-existence of the Israeli "left"
I don't know what's bleaker, the republican voters believing what they do or the democrats' believing what they do and doing fuck all about it
idk if most democrat voters believe that, the Dems as a party tend to ignore the opinion of upwards of 80% of their constituents on almost any subject and i bet refusal to do anything about climate change is no different there than supporting the genocide in Gaza or funding ICE
Same with all the Democrats calling ICE and Trump and the GOP "Fascist" and then going out and dressing up in silly costumes with pun signs and doing a funny dance
I like how 10% of republicans believe Climate Change will lead to the extinction of the human race, yet they keep supporting for the "drill baby drill" petrofascists.
Are they anarcho-primitivist accelerationists? Are they death cultists who worship the sentient oil?
Maybe they just got too excited when they saw extinction and race together in a sentence
Some of them also said it's likely cities will be lost to the sea but there won't be any serious damage to the economy lol
Losing cities to the sea actually will help the economy, funny enough. It's destruction of fixed capital and will cause intense demand for replacement housing and amenities. This will increase the rate of profit and stall its fall, as well as create a short-term stimulus in spending. Hell, if climate change wreaks enough havoc on infrastructure the capitalists won't even need to go into World War every time they have a profit crisis - nature will do the destruction for them.
It's even more funny how 40% of democrats are convinced that their party isn't also drilling and expanding oil usage
I'd say that's a bit less funny because most rank-and-file Democrats either believe the "lesser evil" narrative or are kind of ignorant and credulous and think their representatives are actually fighting for the environment.
Not one rank-and-file Republican is under the delusion that their representatives are helping the environment in any way, nor do any of them think the GOP is the "lesser evil" for the environment. These 10% just straight up believe that Climate Change will eradicate humanity and their response is "pedal to the metal"
