" “The [climate] science is going to be key,” Crowfoot told Trump. “Because if we ignore that science and kind of put our head in the sand and say that it’s all about vegetation management, we’re not going to succeed together protecting Californians.”
Crowfoot is suffering from denial, too. He’s in denial that Trump is either seriously mentally ill and simply can’t comprehend the idea that there is truth outside of what he wants for himself, or that he’s so indescribably evil he does comprehend that the results of his actions and inactions will be hundreds of thousands dead from the pandemic and billions dead and a ruined world from climate catastrophe, and he doesn’t care.
Crowfoot is talking to Trump like Trump is just a dumb child who needs things explained to him so he’ll change his mind about whether climate change exists. After more than 5 years of Trump being the most (potentially) informed human on the planet, is it more effective to try to gently coax him into seeing he’s wrong or to explain to others that he’s unfit for any office and then to work to remove him and his almost equally insane corporate duopoly party from power?
