An interesting YouTube video, 31.5 minutes, called Why Trump’s Power is Fading by UK person Brendan Miller. I was somewhat heartened by it. He says he’s more persuaded by this one but there’s also another he made called How Trump is Building an American Dictatorship. This is of course important for mitigating Climate Change too, since he’s done much of what’s in his power (and stuff that isn’t supposed to be) to work against climate change mitigation and empower the oil, gas and coal industries, among them, canceling all federal authorizations for new wind power projects, including some that were already under construction, and he and his lackeys continue to insist that climate change is a ‘hoax’. As if. As if it would even be possible to organize that many disparate people and groups into organizing some kind of hoax. The biggest weakness to conspiratorial thinking to me is the logical problem of coordination. How many people, how much money, how much message discipline, how many things that would have to remain uncovered, etc. Here is the video:
