It takes emotion to make rash decisions based on reactionary feelings.

If you only do things because it feels right instead of what you've thought through and understood as a rational course if action... you're doing the same thing as those who storm capital buildings cause an orange man told them to.

The problem is, if they're afraid they have the resources to do something about it. That much wealth can buy a lot of private armies. It also buys a lot of lobbyists.

It takes more thought and planning then reacting with emotion against them. That feeds their goals just fine.

Don't forget congressional and state/local races as well. Trump is only one point of power, albeit much more visible. But the executive branch can only do so much if the legislature is red anyway.

Ah, you support inaction so the situation gets worse but at least your conscience is clean.

Perhaps breeding cats would be more economical than cows, then.

Why go after climate scientists... who have been saying this "for generations"? Climate scientists aren't the problem.
