thank you!

My unscientific theory is, and has been for some time, that this is a visceral reaction to the climate crisis. That is, we know at the cellular level that the jig is up.

Clearly, different groups of people deal with this differently. Some retreat to fear and conspiracy. Some approach it with love and science. More solutions-based.

There is definitely a unifying thread; those who deny COVID also deny climate change and are fearful of US becoming a "majority minority" country. This is their visceral reaction. They can't accept truth and facts and science, so contort, corrupt, and pervert truth to their own version of reality.

How do the rest of us survive this?

Will indeed those attending drumpf's superspreader events be the 1st to go? But, there is no avoiding the climate crisis, sadly.
