How green is the left?

I had a friend question my environmentalism since I support Trump. So this is the quote that set me off...

Don't ANY of you who still support Trump even dare to tell me you are environmentalists!

Apparently, the Deep State is the only way to be environmental. I wanted to mention a few things in case you too hear this kind of propaganda. So tell me left? How green are you?

Do you believe the EPA was helping our environment? What about the FDA do they help small farms? Does the FDA prevent animal cruelty? Do you think electric cars are really environmental? Do you think wind farms are friendly to our birds/raptors?

Is destroying W Virginia's economy green? How about old growth forests; and the Great Chestnut blight? Are you down with fluoride in our water? Do you think Al Gore is right and we should all pay a tax for carbon? Was it informed for Paris to ignore the grand solar minimum?

I question people who tell me they are "green." I never get an answer. No one who claims to care about the environment addresses real concerns. They insist the left is the keeper of the green. I keep noticing that the green isn't actually helping.

What about cash for clunkers? We threw away tens of thousands of working vehicles. Was that recycling? What about Monsanto who has now covered our farm land with genetically impotent crops? What about the zika spraying that kills millions of bees in one afternoon?

What about the drone strikes under Obama? Was that environmental? Don't tell me the left cares about the planet as if it's a given. Bulshit. The left offload their responsibility to someone who promises them everything and does worse. A pyramid mafia. What about these things?

Look at the left. Do they help the environment? REI isn't. Patagonia won't. They don't want state's to have their own park land. POTUS didn't promise to gut our industries and give our money to Paris. He said he would dismantle the federal leviathan. That is environmentalism.

Our federal govt sucks more war money out of our pockets while pretending to save our rivers. But Presidents don't save rivers, communities do. Bioregionalism can never thrive under a democrat because they have a pyramid scheme and want all the decisions to come from the top.

You'd need to send a lobbyist to bribe Clinton or Obama and only then would they reward you by returning the same tax dollars you sent them in the first place. But then you could only clean the river with gov't approved workers that paid their fair share too. To Obama.

What about healthcare? Do you know how much of our money went into a website that didn't work? This was local money that could have made a difference to fight off another asphalt plant, or create a new greenway. Locals are green. Local money is green.

The left claims to love the environment. Why won't they promote bioregionalism? They delegate responsibility to a celebrity/politician. The left isn't green, they only care about appearing to be green. Dissonance is the worst thing you could contribute to our planet.
