Humans are bad at recognizing the impact of long term problems emotionally. A few extra dollars today to get a pack of hamburger instead of just mac and cheese, or a new jacket for the kid since last year's is a little tight and worn around the cuffs, or just a fresh pack of cigs instead of having to stretch it until payday - that means a lot more than "It'll be half a degree warmer next year than last year," or connect that to more and more intense storms, or yet those to the possibility of personally being impacted by them even if there are, or not more than before and obviously they got through then, right?
That much, I don't even really blame people for. No, what I can't understand or forgive is believing the bastard gave a single solitary shit in all his nepo baby life about any of that, or even to address such plebeian concerns for the sake of keeping promises. He certainly doesn't care about keeping to national treaties, with far more impact and legal weight than hot air spewed on the campaign trail, and having succeeded in his run from prosecution, why should he?
There's no point in keeping lines open with his sycophants, either. Compromise requires common ground, and faith that the other side will keep their end of a deal. With the current Republican party there is little of the first on almost any issue and none of the second.
