That IMO marked a turning point for the American Right, because afterwards they've swung further and further to the fringes of the spectrum, to the point where they can't even really do any actual governing anymore. It's not sustainable though. There will be changes in the next 10 years.

I hope there will be changes, I want to see changes in both parties.

Yeah, anyone who points out the fucking television ratings to defend the credibility of a news source is doing a pretty good job discrediting their own opinions.

LOL, I never said anything about credibility.
They changed the channel because they know their audience. It's all about ratings because that's how they make money.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
