How to fool Republitards into caring about the environment

[Michchamp]

It's not that hard. Just use the sort of language the Nazis or white supremacists use to discuss racial politics (link):

we conducted a final study in which we constructed a pro-environmental message based in moral purity. This message emphasized the need to protect natural habitats from ?desecration? so that our children can experience the ?uncontaminated purity and value of nature.? We presented one group of self-identified conservatives with this message, another group with a more conventional message emphasizing the need to protect ecosystems from harm, and a third group with a neutral essay that didn?t mention the environment. The conservatives presented with the purity message reported significantly greater support for pro-environmental legislation than the other two groups ? indeed, they were as supportive as a group of liberals we also surveyed. Conservatives who read the moral purity message even reported greater belief in global warming, though the message itself didn?t mention global warming, only environmental issues in general.​

Bizarre. But worth a shot, I guess.

they needed to do a study on this? any Human Behavior 101 class could have told them this would be the result. it's simple "speak their language" and "find common ground" and all that. what a waste of time and money. oh, wait...THERE it is...waste of time and money...standard operating procedure for politicians and their followers. I would say standard for Libs/Dems, but Cons/Reps are guilty too. OOOHHH, great, now I opened a can of worms as to which group of assholes...er, politicians...wastes time and money more. *facepalm*
