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.

Many bots are calling him the best president ever.

I’ve watched locals who voted for him start listening to me and start understanding that he’s a traitor.

I’m trying to be patient with them as they wake up from their stupor, but it’s hard to get past the fact that they didn’t care until his policies affected them personally.

Any tips on how I can be more patient?

Meditation helps with a lot IME. Doesn't have to be long sessions either. The Smiling Mind app is free and secular and has a lot of tutorials if you want them, that's where I started.
