Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House later this year. During a dinner for senior oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, Trump “vowed to immediately reverse dozens of president [Joe] Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted” if they gave him the money, according to the newspaper. One top priority for the executives, which Trump said they would get “on the first day”, was an end to the freeze on permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, the article notes.
Some of them are true believers. Some are being edgy because they know it bothers people. Some are bad actors trying to convince others not to vote because not voting always benefits the Republicans.
True, I was just saying that in another thread, when more people vote (of any politicsal affiliation) the statistics say democrats win bigger. I don’t remember why it’s true but it is. Something to do with demographics.
TLDR, More people voting is good for dems.
My personal opinion, backed in part by things I’ve read, in part by things I’ve seen, and in part just things I’ve pulled out of my ass:
Old people have more time to vote so they do it every election and tend to go conservative. Younger people (by and large) tend to skew liberal or progressive because they don’t want things to go back to an imaginary time before they were born. They also tend to have college, are working crazy hours to make ends meet, or have social obligations that they feel are incredibly important so they don’t go vote unless they feel like something is on the line.
