The political establishment has a pretty foolproof system for shit like this, which it has been using for decades if not centuries.
Step 1: Get Trump and his ilk to make moves toward disbanding the EPA.
There is no step 2. Democrat voters now throw their support to the EPA, forgetting all the stories about its dysfunction, because the threatened alternative is no EPA at all.
"The lesser evil" will be the rally cry as smart, kind people beg you to vote for the corporate-funded Democrat who wants to "preserve" the EPA and its funding as is.
> "not wanting to be poisoned" is now a politically contentious position.
Has been for a long time - ask Erin Brockovich, or the Superfund victims, or Donziger.
