      It’s because on the surface it looks like the classic bullshit “both sides” claim. Where one side is clearly worse but they try to make it seem like both are similar.

      Not sure if this is different to be honest. The Rs have been trying to undermine the EPA for decades, there’s a long history there that shouldn’t be ignored even if recent D admins haven’t been great.

      I don’t have the time to do a deeper dive at the moment, likely others don’t want to even bother, so they just downvote since a good 90% of the time the both sides type responses are disingenuous.

          Supporting oil and fracking isn’t even in the same ballpark as wanting to deregulate and eliminate the EPA entirely.

              The news cycles manufacture* polarization so people think there is a huge difference between both parties, and there really isn’t. We’ve gone so far right, that right is considered left, and anyone alive who’s been paying attention and speaks on it is accused of being too old/bot/shill/foreign propagandists du jour.

                  Yes, and Afaict, it’s right of what neolib was.
