    more importantly, it’s not just scientific consensus. Remember that trump voters don’t care about the science. they care about the economy. You have to make it about the economy.

        Fox news would probably say that consumerism is foolish anyways and needs to stop (because it’s gluttony or sth), while we should all glorify the leaders who were wise enough in the past to invest their wealth.
