Why? Most democratic officials are closeted republicans.

If they remove our legal recourse, do they think we'll just shrug and be like "guess we have no options"?

Oil burns a little too readily for them to be taking non-violent options off the table. A paper warehouse is nothing compared to this potential.

"Forever" is not possible, a future Congress can just repeal the law.

Frankly? The United States is not a two parties country. It’s a no party country. Ever thought about why monopoly laws from the eighties no longer exist?

I'll be honest, I don't really care. None of these laws mean anything if the government is completely rebuilt from the ground up. Every single thing this admin does will be worth so much burned toilet paper. All the grifts ill gotten gains will be liquidated and confiscated by whoever the fuck hangs them all in the streets, as is most likely to happen. All the bills that say shit like "no regulations on AI evar!! Lol" or "Donald Trumps name on everything, including mt Kilimanjaro for some reason" will be meaningless.

Do they realize that this will lead to more physical sabotage against oil infrastructure? If they get rid of any non-violent means of mitigating concerns, they leave only one option.

Democrats aren't saying anything because on the real issues that effect everyone (economics) the two parties are almost perfectly aligned.
Have been since Clinton won.

Another unpopular move by the party of pedophile supporters

clearly the only option is killing all of the politicians

Conservatives. The comic book villains that came to life and terrorize an entire planet.

They framed it as a way to “protect American energy from leftist legal crusades punishing lawful activity.”

Aren't lawful actions already protected by, you know, the law? By definition, the only legal punishments that could happen are for illegal actions. This doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense as reasoning. They didn't even try to manufacture justification.

Anyway, when the justice system no longer can be relied on to provide justice, extra-legal methods must be taken to ensure a just society. Them doing this could be either of two things, or both. It's them actually protecting dirty energy companies, as it sounds, or it's them requiring vigilantism to stop it, which gives them justification to crack down on "the left" and anyone else who stands against them.

Edit: Also, they consistently say that climate change isn't real, and yet they feel the need to pass a law that explicitly is there to protect against the harms of climate change. Either it's real, and they should pay (especially since they knew about it and mislead the public, which this also explicitly protects), or it isn't real, and this law is pointless.

When will people realize that these are actual enemies to our country and are KILLING US

You sound as if you think the democrats are a progressive party

They should be making people aware of this, but those stupid laws can be repealed just as easy as they are made.

aside from like only 2 dems in congress, almost every other one is complicit.

You mean progressives? Because Dems as a party are not against carbon

I thought this picture was a before/after transition photo.

how is it that Cruz has not been lynched already?

An interesting movie:

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022)

In other news, Ted Cruz wants big oil to know he has feelings for them but he’s not sure if they like him back.

They will express greatly concerning concerns, and send a moderately worded letter.
