I’m looking across at the olympic peninsula right now from victoria right now and it really just settled in for me that losing that might actually be possible.
I would literally be willing to die trying to save the hoh rainforest.
Am I overreacting here?
The US isn’t doing it, one small group is and nobody’s stopping them. Subtle difference, I know.
They were voted in by Americans, and nobody has made any significant moves to impede them. It is not a small group, it is the USA in any sense we normally mean the term when referring to the actions of its government.
Didn’t the US vote for this?
31% voted for it.
31% voted for it and 0% stand against it.
0% have authority to stand against. Roughly 28% or something voted against.
69% (nice) of Americans didn’t vote against it.
