Caught this Mother Jones article in my FB newsfeed this morning... and am absolutely gob-smacked.
For most of his 2016 campaign, Johnson has maintained his opposition to government efforts to deal with global warming. His campaign website acknowledges that the climate is "probably" changing and that humans are "probably" contributing to that change.
So it seems he hasn't moved very far from his the sun is going to engulf the earth anyhow so whatever stance. With that degree of fatalism, why try to effect any change on the inevitable? Why even get out of bed?
It used to be if you had a low intellect candidate, you would pull out the old "Who would you rather have a beer with?" trope. The update of that trope for the Gary Johnson voter must be "Who would you rather share a doobie with?" Because if you have the slightest passing regard for the environment, the slightest ever, you couldn't possibly vote for this guy. His environmental policy really sounds like it was formulated with a couple of buddies at 3:00 am, after their munchies ran out.
