- ARandomerDude 4y agoFill in the blanks: "We need to fight climate change. I voted for ____." "I don't think climate change is caused by humans. I voted for ____." If you could perform the above task easily, then yes it's political.
- fahrradflucht 4y agoSure, but I think what OP was saying is that this says a lot about the US. For example in Germany, denying man made climate change is a fringe position. We just fight about how to stop it and at what cost.

- pjc50 4y agoWith enough media firepower, anything can be made political, regardless of the underlying reality.
