I was raised in a time when vaccinations and science were seen as good in a melting pot America, where “none of us were as good as all of us”, was beginning to be seen as true after the nationalistic atrocities of WWII and led to the civil rights movement and other proactive actions. Math and science were important in my Republican family and I find it hard to see t today’s GOP unable to be the conservatives that would work with others to prevent a known calamity from happening and actually accept the misinformation and propaganda disseminated by those who continue to damage the earth to profit from the filthy resources that cause the problem.
Politicians (our representatives in a constitutional democratic republic) were supposed to be the gatekeepers to protect us from the populists and obstructionists, but with the introduction of parties — not even mentioned in the Constitution — the mutual respect and trust have been destroyed to a point where the EC -designed to discourage populists and obstructionists - now actually promotes them. I am tired of the division, discord, distrust, lack of respect, and lack of unity in our government and the unity and common cause we can have only when we all work together.
