    I’ll save you a read- conservatives are fucking stupid and believe anything they’re told as long as it’s scary and there’s a superhero Republican politician promising to stop it from happening.

    That’s how it spread.

      They aren’t scared of climate catastrophes. Pretty indignant about how not scared they are about destabilized ice caps and ocean currents/levels.
