Except that's not how protecting the environment works. You can't undo damage to the environment as easily as you can destroy it. So if in one minute he thinks its ok to do something destructive, in the next minute it will be too late to undo that.

Please keep this in mind.

This applies to other areas of life as well. If you are an undocumented child living in this country. You can't have a normal life if all you know is that Trump might change his mind. You will forever live in fear. That's not fair to anyone.

Oh, I don't disagree.
Which makes his cabinet appointees all the more unsettling.

A President Trump very well might be a step backwards, but I'm pretty confident that it will only be a temporary setback.

I'm sure the Holocaust was also just a "temporary setback" too, right?

>We've had worse, and we've seen worse While true, I'd like think things are different now.
