I'd guess that at least a plurality of Texans whose homes are now underwater from Beryl still think trans athletes are a bigger threat than climate change and a constitutionally immune imperial presidency.

If Trump wins, America ends. Remember Lincoln's house divided speech. Trump is a symptom and avatar of a coalition of white neo-confederate theocrats' revolt against modernity, feminism, civil rights for who's different and heartland extractive industries that funded the Federalist Society and the case that brought down the Chevron regulatory framework. The real problem: the 250 year old southern veto in American politics that blackmailed the northern rebels into promising not to touch slavery to get them to join the revolution. We took our boot off their necks too soon in 1877 and got 88 years of Jim Crow.
