So many people are just the NPC meme "Everything is due to climate change and the only solution is communism." Or however it goes, exactly.
I'm not even a "climate denier" or whatever they want to call it.
I just think you can do two things at once. I don't understand why people can't grok that.
I also think liberals are at a point where they've internalized, "every criticism is a right-wing ploy"

It's very cultish, which is why the members can't grok it.

The problem is I don't think this person is part of the cult. I think they're just a normie. It's scary that normies are so brainwashed by the cult.
I have normie friends whose personal behaviors and attitudes are entirely conservative, but also repeat these left wing talking points about climate, race, Trump, etc.
I think they just all get their news from CNN and the New York Times.

I'm going to propose that normie Californians are in the cult. To me, this cult is more about what ideas people are willing to entertain than how they conduct their personal affairs.
I call it the Cult of Respectability. Basically, it's an unwillingness to think about anything that hasn't been cleared by the NYT first.
