A lot of people don't pay attention to politics, and don't realize things like the need to register to vote since their last move, since their name changed when they got married, etc. They just want to shake it out.

Version 1:

  • The world is going to end real soon
  • they expect to be raptured away to Heaven
  • God put stuff on the earth for us to use up before the rapture

Version 2:

  • Somebody else is going to suffer because of the environmental damage
  • Hurting other people shows how masculine and powerful I am
  • I profit from the damage
  • Damage = good

There's a significant impact from the higher temperatures.

It's not just the management history, though that doesn't help.

That's a very plausible claim, but difficult to prove

A fair-sized chunk of this fall's electorate was too young to vote in 2016, and doesn't have a real sense of how awful he is, or how much has deteriorated over the past few years.
