Corporate pollutors are protected by conservatives. Getting rid of conservatives will involve violence. If we are successful in voting them out, then they will become violent. If we are unsuccessful in voting them out, then they will use their postions to oppress us... Which leads to violent resistance. When that fails, then we also try to relocate and brace for the trouble ahead.
That's where we find neighbors with opposing ideologies who have resources we need. I blame conservatives squarely for the destruction of the environment. As such, I do not see conservative neighbors as humans. I see them as resources. So, when you move, make sure not to move near me or I might want a cup of sugar from my new neighbor! 😀
Lol, what? Neither side wants to stop using fossil fuels because it helps keep America ahead of its adversaries.

Hate to say it, but you've fallen for the tribalism meme. Try to be more independent to get a clearer picture of the world around you.
Democrats and republicans are just looking out for different rich people. In many ways, they're just looking out for the same rich people.
Progressives are the only ones who fight for meaningful change, which is why there are so few of them and they aren't taken seriously by the majority. We, as a society, do not want to solve these problems. We care more about looking good in front of our greedy and entitled peers.
Biden is a conservative. Neo-liberals are conservatives. Most Democrat politicians, are neo-liberal/conservative.
Progressives would be the answer if there were enough of us. But it seems there may not be.
Sometimes violence really is the answer. Never in history has conservatism been cured by pacifism.
