So we have the issue where the majority of conservative voters think the country must do whatever it takes to protect the environment [1], but elected conservative officials think otherwise. How do you think this should be handled?
Option 1: Demonize all conservatives, turning the environment into a partisan agenda
Option 2: Demonize elected officials that choose to side with lobbyists over their constituents
Personally, I would chose option 2, but I guess option 1 is good too if your goal is to cause divisiveness or even to push conservatives away from agreeing with you [2]
