The Republican/Fox 'news' "alternate universe"

(Excerpt:)

"...For three nights, in an shameless display of loyalty to President Trump, the party has conjured up what my colleague Frank Bruni described as an “upside-down vision” of the world. Theirs is a universe in which the coronavirus pandemic is largely in the rear view (on Aug. 25, 1,136 Americans died from the virus) and where, according to Representative Matt Gaetz, radical Democrats threaten to “disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home and invite MS-13 to live next door.” A universe where the existential dangers of climate change pale in comparison to those of cancel culture — even as the West is ravaged by blackouts and wildfires and the Gulf Coast is slammed by a devastating hurricane."

(Updated:) Republicans have been in power in Washington since 2016. (...Other than a tiny bit of taxpayer-funded 'wall'...+ a large tax break mainly benefitting tycoons and corporations...) What have they done to BUILD, vs. tear down? E.g.: Where is a real infrastructure improvement bill? What is the replacement plan for Obamacare? What's being done to address now-declining U.S. air quality? Etc., etc..

... 'It's so HOT!(/dry/on-fire, etc.)' What is being done to address the burgeoning effects of climate change....
