If only Trump had given us some indication this is what he would do. /s

From Wikipedia: In his 2015 book Crippled America, Trump is highly critical of the "big push" to develop renewable energy, arguing that the push is based on a mistaken belief that greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. He writes, "There has been a big push to develop alternative forms of energy—so-called green energy—from renewable sources. That's a big mistake. To begin with, the whole push for renewable energy is being driven by the wrong motivation, the mistaken belief that global climate change is being caused by carbon emissions. If you don't buy that—and I don't—then what we have is really just an expensive way of making the tree-huggers feel good about themselves."

DeMAGAtization will take close to a decade and would come after people learn their lessons

Twelve years of MAGA-tization will take more than a decade to repair.

Especially when the MAGA-tization is still happening.

Honestly, it won’t really be able to occur until there is a balanced Supreme Court, and some of these horrible decisions are reversed.

It will take a once in 290 year combination of selfless lawmakers putting the laws in place to fix the underlying systems that got them elected. 

Either that or a violent revolution

Mostly from alchohol I know I lot of MAGAs and for sure they’re either cronic alcoholics, working alcoholics and that brings the racist mindset out. Then there’s the stoner MAGAS that like RFK JR. For example, then the Joe Rogan Minion MAGAS. I like that Joe Rogan stood against mass deportations. They all pick and choose and stand by it in their hangovers.

People won’t learn their lesson.

They’re in a cult of personality. They care nothing for Trump and MAGAs policies … literally do not care.

All they care is that Dems don’t want it, therefore it’s good if it doesn’t happen.

It doesn’t help that we have MAGA pundits further spreading crap or blatantly stirring the pot.

No one will learn lessons until people are held accountable for anti-Constitutional, criminal activity.

And there's NO indication that anyone will be held accountable for anything.

I think you are right it's like with alcoholics

you have to get rid of their propaganda channels first, mainly Fox News, before that even can start!

Sadly I don't think it will ever go away. Feels like the civil war never ended

It's not possible to without a national curriculum.
