Democrats’ Massive Climate Agenda Loses Support With Most Americans
Turns out most people don’t want costly green schemes shoved down their throats.

It is beginning to dawn on some Democrats that many Americans are not particularly interested in their sprawling climate agenda, according to Politico. [emphasis, links added]


As the Trump administration rolls back key Democratic climate policies, officials who worked under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden are admitting that the party’s push for an exorbitantly expensive green agenda has not won over the American people, according to Politico.

The Democrats spent over $1 trillion on climate initiatives in the Biden years, though several polls over the course of his presidency indicated that voters did not consider climate change to be a top priority ahead of the 2024 election.

“We’ve lost the culture war on climate, and we have to figure out a way for it not to be a niche leftist movement,” Jody Freeman, who was the counselor for energy and climate change during the Obama years, told Politico. “There’s no way around it: The Left’s strategy on climate needs to be rethought.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It isn't a problem for them, though.  They now support rioters defending the rights of murderers, rapists, arsonists, and sundry other illegal alien thuggery. :whistle:

People don't want to drive cars that catch on fire, cannot be refueled easily, or that lack power and stall.

They want big, comfortable cars.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Right. Climate, COVID, they need a new panic.
Panic is irrational.
People who are in panic mode do not think, they react to stimuli.
Even a stampede can be directed if you can shift the course of the lead animals.
They are easily controlled, especially when you are the rational leaders of the herd.

Hopefully, people are seeing through the paid protester nonsense, although the investment in having thousands of paid agitators must be huge. Follow that money and shut it down, because only a few 'true believers' will show up if the paid protesters and agitators aren't getting paid.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
