Ramaswamadingdong Climate Change

Fortunately for us, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is a longshot for the White House. We’re fortunate that he’ll never win the presidency because he’s not just on the wrong side of the issues and inexperienced, but he’s a vile person who’s also pretty intelligent.

The guy says he’ll pardon Donald Trump if he’s elected. He called a Black female Democratic U.S. representative a member of the KKK and a Grand Wizard for being anti-racist. He got his ass kicked in what should have been an interview on extremely friendly turf with Sean Hannity. He doesn’t know how government works and promises to solve problems simply by solving them. He’s a Hindu who’s courting Christian nationalists.

Ramaswamy is smart but he understands messaging to hateful mobs (the Republican Party) better than he understands civics. He doesn’t seem to know that the president is not a king and there are two other branches of the federal government. He and Tommy Tuberville should take a class together. But Rammyswammy so vile that I wouldn’t be surprised when he says something as horrible as there are more deaths from climate change policy than there is from actual Climate cChange, that he’s lying to appeal to the deplorable base.

When I watched the Republican debate a week ago with some friends in Atlanta, we all felt that Ramaswamy doomed himself. I guess we forgot it was a Republican debate. He was torn apart by Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley on policy issues and the guy couldn’t answer anything, yet he was the most searched candidate afterward and is currently number three in Republican polls after the the guy who’s been indicted four times and the other guy who’s at war with a mouse.

After the debate on CNN, he seemed to accept that Climate Change is NOT a hoax, as most Republicans would tell you, but that we shouldn’t combat it. Instead, he believes we should simply adapt to a world on fire and an environment crashing all around us. Instead of focusing on the causes of climate change, he said, “We should focus on adaptation.”

Sure. That sounds like a great plan. Maybe instead of combating rising sea levels in Florida, we can rebuild the state on sticks above the rising ocean. That’s adaptation, baby.

During the debate, Ramaswamy said that “the climate agenda is a hoax” and then followed up saying that the “anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy.” He concluded arguing that “the reality is more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.”

So he’s not denying Climate Change, just the agenda to fight it. As horrible as this is, the message might work.

Polls show most Americans don’t understand President Biden’s climate policies or the Inflation Reduction Act. Most Americans believe Climate Change is a threat, but less so than economics, supposedly “open borders,” and constantly increasing streaming services (we do need to fix that one).

But if we can just “adapt” to Climate Change, then why can’t we do the same with immigration? I bet when the oceans swallow the United States, those damn illegals are going to steal all our under water jobs.

A poll conducted earlier this year showed that only 38 percent of Americans would be willing to pay $1 a month to fight Climate Change. In case you’re a Republicans, that’s only $12 a year. You spend more than that on Netflix just to watch Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar again. You already know what happens. He lies. There should be a sequel and it could be about a Republican running for office. They can call it…wait for it…Liar Liar II, or maybe, Liar Liar III since it’s lying. I should have had a career in Hollywood.

We know that when Republicans spout off bullshit, like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, that to their followers, it becomes fact. They will believe that the “pen is red” if their candidate says it is. Without proof, many Republicans believe Joe Biden has been caught taking bribes, there’s something on Hunter Biden’s laptop other than his ding-dong, Donald Trump merely asked about the results of the 2020 election, the borders are open, guns don’t kill people, Ted Cruz isn’t a total vile sack of maggot-infested pile of shit, Trump finished the wall, Train has written some decent songs, NASCAR is a sport, and the Oakland Athletics are a Major League Baseball team.

Soon, if Vivek shouts it loud enough, enough Republicans will believe the only solution to Climate Change is to just accept it and put Florida on sticks.

We don’t just have to accept Climate Change becaues it’s not your inlaws. We can work to combat Climate Change while nothing is stopping your inlaws from coming over.

There should not be one person in Florida who denies Climate Change. You would think that having to build your wall of sandbags higher every hurricane season would make a person start to think.

Vivek Ramaswamy is not your inlaws either. We can stop him. We can stop all Republicans and their war on science….unless your inlaws are Republicans. Then you have my sincere condolences.

Hey, can we divorce Republicans?

Speaking of fish and sports: When I was walking into the Georgia Aquarium last week, two of the employees were having a debate and one asked me which was a worse team, the Atlanta Falcons or the Dallas Cowboys. I said I’m a Saints fan so I can’t decide which one I hate more.

Update on the latest troll: I wrote to Michael Bardy, the guy that was trolling the this site, “I welcome healthy debate but I do not tolerate trolls, especially bigoted ones who attack my readers. You have been blocked. Have a nice day.”

His reply: “The problem is libtards dont welcome ‘healthy debate’ be a conservative at a college campus. You don’t operate in fact, only fantasy, most likely after ten doobies.  Your drawings are shit and a monkey on crack could do a thousand times better.   You’re proof that liberalism is a virus in need of eradication. I hope an army of progressive hunters kill you motherfuckers. Eat shit and die asshole.”

Music note: I listened to three Weezer albums while coloring this which is about 20 minutes. Just kidding.
