The MAGA types on the US East Coart have glommed into the anti windmill fervor claiming offshore wind will destroy their view and somehow it hurts whales.

That's what happens when you put a clown in charge.

It's for the sake of his demented ego, to validate the fading-relevance entitled ramblings of all the boomers who see themselves in him. This administration is a most potent result of our festering gerontocracy.

The infantile 20-somethings and "tech" billionaires bought into their hallucinations, reckoning that we don't need any "government" and a great way to destroy it was to support this incompetent moron who was sure to royally fuck things up somehow. Everything that he destroys gets interpreted as some kind of success, ignorant to the fact that the growing chorus of opposition is not merely from progressives being "owned".

Note the quotes around "government" because we've got a huge preexisting corporate government that will happy step into the power vacuum. The 20-somethings are naive. The tech-surveillance billionaires are sanguine.

From nihilistic point of view, it makes perfect sense.

Old man gave people what they wanted and now he is taking what he wants. He’s old, his offsprings are wealthy beyond comprehension and they will be fine.

It's because they're anti-fossil-fuels, which, in America, means they're automatically a Liberal Plot to a certain breed of low-information voter. I've seen signs—like, full-on billboards—along the rural highway I live near saying things like "WINDMILLS KILL Families, Friendships, Wildlife, Property Values".
