Our most environmental president since Nixon

fucking Tricky-Dick Nixon was more liberal than every president I’ve ever lived through

Liberals love to say this buy Nixon started the clean air and clean water acts because several American rivers were frequently catching on fire because they were so full of chemicals.

He wasn’t trying to protect the environment he was trying to stop disgruntled cleavlanders from fire bombing his home.

That sounds like a full-assed solution to a problem, even if it’s for the “wrong” reason. Today’s liberals can barely manage a quarter-ass

Yea it’s just frustrating when people try to whitewash Nixon by saying he cared about the environment when really it was political expediency.

That and nowadays chuds are against the clean air and water act and there argument is literally “because china” still clinging to the 16l5 year old talking point about China still being the worst polluter in the world (they suddenly don’t understand the concept of per caputa) while also ignoring the fact China is literally doing victory laps around us on renewables
