I guess I was over generalizing because the republicans in my area seem to be so easily duped by the politics of the environment and the unions. It’s so frustrating.
Believe me I feel your frustration. One of the men I worked with Rick Sieman, the long-time editor for Dirt Bike magazine and a strong fighter in the war against Earth First and the Sierra Club hung up his hat and moved to Mexico at one point after a pathetic court case. He recognized that we all were no longer in the America we loved.
But his frustration also came from a public that by and large refuses to give a tinkers damn. They say ‘oh well’ find a new activity/job/whatever and go on with their life.
But the greenies follow. Always. and now they are so pervasive that they have power in all aspects of our lives. And it’s that power, given to them primarily be their communistic joining with the Left that will be unceremoniously stripped when they, like all other useful idiots, become a hindrance to the ever-shifting surface agenda of the left.
Surface agenda meaning the agenda of the moment, not the overall quest for power and control.
