The Trump Pruitt agenda is actually not unique, it's just more of the same Republican classism: everything is a product, and wealthy people can buy better versions. Clean water, clean public lands, and even clean air in your backyard, is not a right. It's a product. If you're wealthy you can afford clean versions. If you can't afford it, you don't deserve it, you're not a better person. Rich people are better than you. And the proof of this is the productization of everything: justice, education, environment, infrastructure, health care. These things are not rights in Conservatism. Higher classes get them, because they can afford them, they can afford them because they're wealthy, they're wealthy because they're superior humans.
Until people understand the difference between conservative Liberalism, and Conservatism which is protect and preserve the classes, we continue to see these kinds of politicians and these kinds of policies and these kinds of outcomes.
