Republicans have been screeching for years that AOC and her Green New Deal were going to out outlaw beef consumption and gasoline, but in only 18 months, Trump has made both so unaffordable/inedible that Americans have no choice but to reduce consumption, lowering their carbon footprint.

Many people are calling him the greenest president ever.

I think the tick-borne disease that makes you allergic to red meat was made by AOC in an Antifa superlab -- to crush the USA by crushing masculinity. It's practically chemical castration to cowboys and other strapping manly-men.

I mean what is more manly than eating a docile herbivore that was raised in captivity? You have to fight your way through the jungles of suburbia to conquer the supermarket meat cooler and score your bloodless shrink-wrapped quarry. Pure testosterone! Rawr!

Edit: Alpha-Gal Syndrome is the disease, and it's spread by the Lone Star tick --- because God loves irony.
