    It’s the power of propaganda. These people didn’t get to this position naturally, they got there because of the billionaire funded propagandists undermining trust in the experts because they are saying “climate change is a huge problem, we need to regulate these oil companies” and “hey, we need to miss out on profits and quarantine for the public good”.

    Ever wonder why conservatives hate the EPA? A government agency that should be the least controversial around? Yeah, it’s because billionaires can make more money dumping toxic waste into the public water supply than responsible disposal. So attack the agency preventing that as being too liberal.

    The Koch’s, Murdock, she the Mercers have fucked over multiple nations.
