Puggo, liberals and the Democratic Party have become hostile to religion, traditional Christianity in particular. And liberals are demagogic on the environment, which nowadays mostly refers to global warming. And so the false idea tha conservatives are theocrats who don’t care about the environment exists.
If a person’s moral and ethical views are based in religion I see nothing wrong with that. And we do expect a leader to carry their morals and ethics into the job. That’s all a far cry from governing our country by the dictates of the Bible. If one disagrees with certain moral and ethical view, that’s fine. But they are not illegitimate just because they’re religious. The First Amendment imposes certain limitations but was never meant to purge religion in the way some advocate.
On the environment too we find mere disagreement painted as improper.
To CatBus’s point, people on both sides have good reason to feel underwhelmed by their respective parties.
