Websites hosting major US climate reports taken down

i think what contributes the most to my sense of dread is the feeling that if you were to tell these decision makers in govt right now "but this'll kill people!" they'd respond "good"

They don't care about people. Senator Joni Ernst when told that people would die due from the spending bill responded with, "Well, we are all going to die."

And then doubled down with a later Instagram post making fun of everyone. How are these people our elected officials? It’s unbelievable.

Voters are stupid?

They’re not stupid. These voters see government as a means to enact cruelty on outgroups they don’t like. That’s why they vote for cruel people who don’t care about hurting others. They are not stupid. They know exactly what they are voting for and are overwhelmingly supportive if it.

That sounds so incredibly short sighted I think it could still be reasonably described as stupid.

We shouldn’t excuse these voters as merely stupid, like they’re just innocently ignorant or uninformed. They are deliberately malevolent, and vote specifically for cruel, terrible politicians because they, themselves are cruel and terrible people and desire such representation.

And they are not just supporting cruelty. They are cheering and screaming for it. They want more.
