No liberal party in the West has any plans to actually do something substantial about climate change, that's precisely why all of them increase militarization of their borders and other anti-immigration measures. This isn't an exclusively Amerikan thing, it's also political consensus in the EU, Australia and so on. They know what they're doing to the planet, they know the bourgeois class will not allow them to stop it, so their answer is "let's just prepare to keep out the people whose home countries our emissions are about to destroy."

This is a major issue I have with the current system of "democracy"... how do we handle when the majority is just plain wrong?

The challenge of western democracy under capitalism is that the dollars must come first, and are extremely influential in promoting views bring more dollars to the rich.

CHUDs: "lol SJWs claim to be tolerant yet they won't tolerate my intolerance! What a bunch of hypocrites!"
Also CHUDs: "Lol, stupid progressives, they actually have principles and won't kowtow to the lowest common denominator no matter how much more popular fascism is than any other ideology!"
We never expected to be liked by many.
