Why? Most democratic officials are closeted republicans.

    This isn't really true, though some are. It's just that both Democrats and Republicans are almost all owned by the owner class, so support any corporate protections. That isn't anything that Republicans own. It's both parties.

    If they remove our legal recourse, do they think we'll just shrug and be like "guess we have no options"?

    That seems to be exactly what Americans are doing right now about everything. So yeah.

    You’re right. No one is throwing molotovs at techbro houses or burning down warehouses or anything.

    Makes it easy to call us all "terrorists" before they drug us and send us to "wellness farms"

    Oil burns a little too readily for them to be taking non-violent options off the table. A paper warehouse is nothing compared to this potential.

    Frankly? The United States is not a two parties country. It’s a no party country. Ever thought about why monopoly laws from the eighties no longer exist?

    Democrats aren't saying anything because on the real issues that effect everyone (economics) the two parties are almost perfectly aligned.
    Have been since Clinton won.

    Do they realize that this will lead to more physical sabotage against oil infrastructure? If they get rid of any non-violent means of mitigating concerns, they leave only one option.

    100%.

    No other nation/individual/extremist group/ideology on this planet could be causing America more harm than the Republican party. They are oppressive. They strip rights. They flagrantly violate the Constitution. They crush the middle and lower classes.

    They are absolutely America's enemy and the enemy of Democracy in general.

    After a handful of perfectly preventable climate disasters if we had acted with force 10 years ago, people will suddenly go "how could God do this to us!! Why couldn't da gubament have done anything to protect us!!"

    Fucking idiots. I hate these people with a cold passion.

    I'll be honest, I don't really care. None of these laws mean anything if the government is completely rebuilt from the ground up. Every single thing this admin does will be worth so much burned toilet paper. All the grifts ill gotten gains will be liquidated and confiscated by whoever the fuck hangs them all in the streets, as is most likely to happen. All the bills that say shit like "no regulations on AI evar!! Lol" or "Donald Trumps name on everything, including mt Kilimanjaro for some reason" will be meaningless.

    The only way this will happen is through violence, and even then it's not a guarantee.

    • conservative South loss against the north in the civil war and there were no reparations or punishment.
    • Nixon came the closest to being impeached and charges were dropped as soon as he resigned, despite the fact that the votes were there. We was then fucking pardoned because "we need to move on."
    • fucking TRUMP will "learn his lesson" for forcing Ukraine to provide opposition research on Biden in exchange for security.
    • TRUMP again when he literally caused people to storm the capitol.
    • when Biden was in office, house refused to even push more impeachment talks because "he's not president anymore" and then got Pikachu faced when he ran again.
    • when Trump finally was found guilty in New York, the judge fucking gave him no jail time.

    Democrats refuse to hold Republicans accountable and we need to start acting like they are part of the problem.

    "Forever" is not possible, a future Congress can just repeal the law.

    They should be making people aware of this, but those stupid laws can be repealed just as easy as they are made.

    They framed it as a way to “protect American energy from leftist legal crusades punishing lawful activity.”

    Aren't lawful actions already protected by, you know, the law? By definition, the only legal punishments that could happen are for illegal actions. This doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense as reasoning. They didn't even try to manufacture justification.

    Anyway, when the justice system no longer can be relied on to provide justice, extra-legal methods must be taken to ensure a just society. Them doing this could be either of two things, or both. It's them actually protecting dirty energy companies, as it sounds, or it's them requiring vigilantism to stop it, which gives them justification to crack down on "the left" and anyone else who stands against them.

    Edit: Also, they consistently say that climate change isn't real, and yet they feel the need to pass a law that explicitly is there to protect against the harms of climate change. Either it's real, and they should pay (especially since they knew about it and mislead the public, which this also explicitly protects), or it isn't real, and this law is pointless.

    They will express greatly concerning concerns, and send a moderately worded letter.
