The GOP funding cuts, passed along party lines, would significantly impact state and local efforts to improve drinking water and reduce water pollution. Additional cuts would severely hamper environmental justice projects.
I actually wonder what the polling on this is. Like do rank and file conservatives actually hate environmental protection so much that this is popular?
Or is it just that cutting the budget broadly is super popular with them but cutting any service in particular is super unpopular so this is the least-bad option for cutting the budget?
Actually, yes. American conservatives equate caring for the environment with homosexuality and godlessness.
I was born and raised in the south and was brainwashed as a southern baptist. Conservatives hate conservation, unless it’s saving some kills for next hunting season.
Conservatives will pollute just for the sake of polluting. They delight in “rolling coal”, burning trash and pouring motor oil on anything green. They see polluting as an insult to non-conservatives. Conservatives are as grotesque as you imagine them to be.
It’s popular because the EPA is pretty shit at enforcing rules against large companies, so they mostly bully small and medium size businesses. There’s also a sentiment that recent regulation is more about control than saving the environment.
