A New Yorker cartoon from September 9, 2002:
A comment from below by Adananc:
Oh, Trump knows that climate change is real but he probably figures that things aren’t so far gone yet so business can still make some profit before it’s really bad or that they can profit regardless of what happens.
Ya’ll need to read the NYU moral psychologist Jon Haidt. He talks about conservative and liberal morality in his book The Righteous Mind with tremendous clarity.
Although I find this comic quite funny (brilliant even), the level of seriousness with which many on this blog take it and other such things betrays a deep misunderstanding of the other side. The other side does not relish the end of the world, believe it or not. They actually wish the best for the world just as you do.
At the very least, your profound misunderstanding of the other side makes you a very limp opponent. “Know your enemy”, right?
The deep sense of bewilderment and confusion you are experiencing right now is a symptom of ignorance.
