It's not so surprising given the gullibility of Trumpette's, the tabloid style of "journalism" practiced by conservative media, and...........of course...........the Orange Fraud's love of conspiracy theories.

There is no greater existential threat to the US, indeed the world, than the unfolding crisis we call global warming.
But we have a problem in this country that is almost as perilous. Namely, our inability to effectively govern ourselves. The examples above help explain why. Those stories are representative of a party whose base of supporters have lost their way. Both victims and willing participants in the invasive, persistent dissemination of disinformation.
Effective governance requires an educated and involved electorate. People who may vigorously disagree about a course of action but agree on what the problem is. Voters who are making decisions based on a commonly accepted set of facts. We can't adequately address global warming if we don't all accept the scientific evidence it is man-made and that it's happening. Similarly, we can't make a decision on how to address the corruption surrounding the Trump/Zelensky phone call if we can't agree it was inappropriate........even when an edited transcript is available.
It is defensible to hold the position Trump's actions do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses. Claiming he did nothing wrong, that the call was perfect, that members of the diplomatic corps and the admin did not participate in a scheme to extract from Ukraine what amounts to a political favor for Trump with military aid hanging in the balance..............that isn't defensible........it's delusional.
