Commentary: Green Globalism Is Modern-Day Imperialism

There has been broad recognition of late that the American Left projects their own flawed proclivities onto their political opponents. They accuse the Right of not caring about the American worker, but the functional consequence of every policy they devise has been destructive to American workers.

They accuse the Right of being fascist, yet their allies in Antifa and Black Lives Matter have cells operating in every major city.
