It is not only Donald Trump's war on reality.
.
Big Oil has waged war on reality for 30+ years.  That is what climate change denial is all about.  Remember the Harper government?
.
Right-wing success is based on convincing low-information voters, particularly white rural male votes, to vote against their own economic interests.
.
A common medium for that purpose is some kind of hot button distraction - abortion, guns, immigration, gay marriage, Islamophobia, etc., - that is of huge prejudicial effect, but of little economic harm.
.
Thus evangelical Christian voters enable climate change denial and administrative capture of government agencies - e.g., the NEB or the EPA - by oil companies.
.
Do evangelical Christians hate the planet?
Why would they?
.
Yet the right-wing obsession with e.g., abortion, has the practical results of preventing action on problems of enormous importance such as (a) climate change, and (b) building public transit.
.
Donald Trump did not invent this game.
