"These are the same people who — like Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, who is running for president — believe drag shows and trans kids are more dangerous than fossil fuels and our rapidly warming planet."

@wdlindsy
You talk like they believe in climate change.
They don't.

@clintruin Oh, I suspect Renée Graham would agree with you that they don't believe in climate change — or pretend not to believe.
"pretend not to believe"
Good point. Equally incredible though--this is the "politically expedient" position for them.
The very concept that any of this is up for debate at all is also worthy of note.
@clintruin Yes, I agree.
And why shouldn't they? Both are more profitable to them than the alternatives.
@Frances_Larina Sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking — of Renée Graham. Why shouldn't they do what? And who are "they"? Sorry that I just don't understand your question.
It was rhetorical, an attempt to point out that to people who choose a very selfish value system, it really is more profitable either monetarily or to their egos to believe that gender nonconformity is more dangerous than the climate crisis.
@Frances_Larina Thanks for explaining. Yes, I myself think, too, there's not much chance of getting through to those folks about these issues.
