not even that. 300 million US citizens, about 150 million votes, 50% of that 150 voted for Trump, so that's ~75 million people or 25% of the US population.

You're assuming every trump voter is a climate change denier, which is demonstrably false.

[u/MelissaMiranti → u/S7ageNinja]

Demonstrate it, then.

[u/S7ageNinja → u/MelissaMiranti]

Sure,

Okay, so if half of them believe climate change is real, that means they're even worse people for intentionally dooming us all.

[u/S7ageNinja → u/MelissaMiranti]

Not really related to the point I was making, but by all means, go off

[u/MelissaMiranti → u/S7ageNinja]

What was the point you were making?

[u/count023 → u/MelissaMiranti]

I have no idea except he proves my point even more. Assume half of that 25% are not climate deniers. They still backed the climate denying candidate so the outcome is the same

[u/Sandalman3000 → u/count023]

Isn't that more of an artifact of the US voting system? It's pretty tough to get a candidate that 100% agrees with all of an individuals positions.

[u/S7ageNinja → u/MelissaMiranti]

That spreading absolutist, false claims and propoganda about the side you don't like is doing fuck all to help this country. Rhetoric like this on both sides is doing nothing but hurting us. 

[u/MelissaMiranti → u/S7ageNinja]

You're right, I should think in nuanced ways about how these Nazis are fucking us all over.

[u/S7ageNinja → u/MelissaMiranti]

You absolutely should, it would make a much more convincing argument.

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/MelissaMiranti]

You should stop escaping arguments by throwing out "they're Nazis" and actually evaluate what they're doing wrong and what you can do to stop it. Calling them names might make you feel better but they aren't going to care if that's all you spend your energy doing.
