82. The Most Dangerous Organization in History: The U.S. Republican Party – Part 3

This the third and final podcast episode covering the wake of destruction executed by the “Most Dangerous Organization in History: The U.S. Republican Party.  The Republicans in Congress and their brethren in state governments are using their power to sabotage democracy and eliminate any environmental protections – for good. It's hard to state how serious this is.  In this explosive episode we explore:Republican interference by passing regulations against investing in improvements for ESG: Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance – using money to improve the lives of people and the health of the planet is now against the law in many states.  As of 2022, the U.S. had 955 billionaires. While some are very generous in donating to worthy causes, the majority are conservative, or rabidly right-wing who support an aggressive form of religious and political activism.  Even though the Right to Protest has always been one of the fundamental bedrocks of American democracy, Republicans view it as a danger to themselves and have passed a slew of laws that not only come with hefty fines and jail time, but with laws to allow their supporters to cause great bodily harm or even murder of protesters – with no consequences!And most disturbing of all, Republicans already have a nearly 1,000-page written plan, that if Trump or a like-minded conservative wins the presidency in 2024,  there will be a radical restructuring of our government, with devastating consequences.  The worst part? If Trump’s forces do change enough electoral rules and personnel to guarantee victory in 2024, there is zero chance the US government will take the strong climate action needed to avert global catastrophe.CALL TO ACT: A Comprehensive On-Line Encyclopedia of Eco-SolutionsEpisode Website
