I was on that same thought train years ago when I got caught up in the John Birch Society.
It finally occurred to me that my neighbors, friends, relatives and fellow citizens had the exact same rights and responsibilities that all American citizens have.
And they were neither bad people or evil because they had lived a different experience than I had.
I hope you find some peace, not so much fear.
Live long and prosper.
I agree with you. That "evil left" that he puts in every post is quite disturbing.
My first choice would be to stop the waste. Properly inflated tires and driving sensibly in gasoline efficient vehicles would be a start. Bet we'd save 10% without even noticing.
How many of us drive like we are a in a race to next traffic signal? I see it all day every day.
Those of us who lived through the gas crisis in the 70s learned those driving tips to save gas. It's a wonder they don't teach these things in driver's ed.
Anybody with a brain larger than a pea would have seen this day coming at least 25 years ago.
Why any nation would base its future on a product with a boom or bust history is a mystery to me. The USA supply, demand, price etc has always been iffy. Just ask all those geologist who got laid off in the 80s bust about career choices. Or the drilling rig that blew up in the GOM, or the offshore pipeline that was cut by an anchor. Nobody learned a thing when the petroleum industry blew up Texas City.
Adding on the dependence on places like Saudi Arabia and Russia is nothing but trouble just a tad short of extortion.
It is long past time Americans sucked it up and found and paid for a stable energy source, or two.
You think the petroleum industry blew up Texas City? Uh, no. That was a guy throwing out his lit cigarette on a container ship carrying the highly explosive fertilizer ammonium nitrate.
I agree with you. That "evil left" that he puts in every post is quite disturbing.
Quite disturbing is forcing us all into energy sources that aren’t viable and encouraging pointless wars and ESGs that cause countries to commit to organic farming that will cause mass famines. But that’s typical of socialism and communism that caused the deaths of millions in the 20th Century, much of it due to famine.
If pushing the same failed ideas after that is not evil, then I don’t know what evil is.
Democrats didn't start the electrical fire and subsequent shutdown at the BP refinery in Indiana.
They do not have the power to thank you filibuster in the senate and Joe Manchin and one other conservative dem senator. But they by some longshot maintain the house and gain 2 senate seats and do away with fillibuster, they will shut all of them down.
And they also did not start the war in Ukraine. The Biden and evil left admin discourages and has a hostile attitude towards fossil fuels which prevents new refineries from being built.
Thank god their power for now is limited to that. Go vote the GOP come November as our freedoms, capitalism and a save our country form socialism depends on GOP having at least one chamber of congress!!

I know that. Uncle lived through it. But then I lived in a house in the woods that had a fire break. Who would have considered taking precautions with chemical plants i?But the town blew up.
Same thing could happen if anything like that happened in the ship channel industries. Not a one of them even tries to contain their contaminated flood water on their premises. A tiny dirt hump The people who had that storage facility in west sure learned nothing about storing explosives. And neither has the state.
At least after a few years something finally started growing back at that ammonia spill on the SW freeway.
