    Would be cool if they’d just, you know, work on common goals as a nation. Like, I dunno, climate change

      For that, Republicans would need to be a political party. The thing we really need to understand as a nation is that right now, they’re not. They’re a cult of personality.

      I think they’re more interested in ways to retain power despite losing almost every popular vote of this century and a base of predominantly religious voters in steady decline.

      You think addressing climate change is a common goal between Republicans and Democrats?

        Surprisingly, in terms of the voter base, yes! About 70% of citizens polled say they think climate change is an issue that we should take steps to combat.

      Republicans don’t even believe in climate change. Why would Republicans endorse any policy that would help mitigate the issue when they don’t think it’s being influenced by man? You can’t negotiate with bio-terrorists.
