And these people wonder why most Americans aren’t huge fans …
Look at this hot mess:
Neoliberalism rots people's brains into thinking climate policy means sacrificing something. If we do it right climate policy will mean most everyone gets luxurious public goods & a better quality of life as billionaires become millionaires and we shutter the fossil fuel industry

We know something that rots the brain but it’s not only NEOliberalism, just sayin’.
My take is that people will initially dislike the ways their lives change but it will be good for them. No more meat clogging your arteries (wasabi tofu is delicious!), fewer deaths from cars as we move to public transportation and more vibrant communities free of sprawl. https://t.co/A39XiJnwSe

Eff people like this.
Seriously.
Thinking they have any right whatsoever to tell their fellow Americans how to live?
are you in eighth grade or something

This is an insult to eighth graders.
Good luck in North Korea. Meanwhile on planet reality, the rest of us will live free.

And how do you account for the fact that the lack of global warming will murder thousands of people who have to live through this thing called…looking it up…let's see now…what is it…
…oh, yes. Winter.

IT’S COLD RIGHT NOW! THAT MEANS THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING AND POLAR BEARS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD.

Wait, that’s not right.
Never mind.

as someone who wholeheartedly supports a green new deal and has been a vegetarian for six and a half years, telling people that meat won’t be available anymore at all will be a dealbreaker
— Paul Blest (@pblest) January 27, 2019
There’s a whole lot in Sean’s tweet that is a dealbreaker but not an unfair point.
I think the meat alternatives will be really good in the near future (and indeed already are, they are being choked by meat subsidies).

Yes, evil Republicans are keeping people hooked on real meat.
Levels of stupid like this should be painful, just saying.
All I hear is "I know what's best"
My response to you is GFY

This has to be a parody account right???

Anyone want to do a poll on whether a majority of Americans are willing to give up meat to save the planet?

America is amazing without Americans I guess

And there it is.
What you find when you listen to these people ‘tweet’ about America is that they really don’t like it very much.
Friend, I know you mean well but please stay far away from climate messaging.

HAAAAAA. When climate change supporters are telling you to shut up?
Not good, Sean.
Not good at all.
