In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.
This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Understanding the process that brought us to the politics of today is simpler than we think, if we are willing to accept that stupidity lies at the core of it.

The paradox of tolerance in action. Tolerating the intolerant leads to destruction of society, that’s what dogmatic free speech absolutist will never get.
