    I've seen Democrats cackle with glee every time a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast, because "That'll show those stupid climate change deniers!"

    And I've seen Republicans making the "keep an aspirin between your knees" joke about abortion every chance they get.

    This feels like a country full of people who absolutely despise one another. I don't know how you operate a social safety net under those conditions.

    I mean, abortion is safe when it's legal. Unsafe abortions and climate change are both symptoms of conservative Christians being a death cult working to accelerate the end times to get to eternal paradise.

    So yeah, when you have one large portion of the population trying to make the world better, or at least habitable for the next generation, and another large portion of the population trying to end it, they inevitably become mortal enemies.
