    Well he isn’t exactly wrong.

    No cows would drastically cut methane emissions and not having windows would conserve energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions related to energy production.

    Cutting greenhouse gas emissions and energy conservation are two progressive goals(democrat talking points).

      Would it help? Yeah

      But do democrats want to ban windows? Yeah I’m going to go out on a limb and say I doubt it.

      Ban cows? Yeah again I doubt it.

        It is more about an extreme understanding of the issue reduced to simple talking points. Democrats say cows are a problem, so they want to ban them. Democrats want to make buildings more efficient and windows are a big source of inefficiency, Democrats want to ban windows.

        Trump exerts influence on simple minds through simple statements that cause outrage by distilling complex issues into logical extremes that offend people who can’t bother to understand complex issues. That is why he is so widely liked, he is the junk food of politics.

        True, but Trump likes simple words to convey simplified ideas to simple minds. Reducing beef consumption to zero is a ban by any other name. Increasing taxes on beef production until it is unprofitable is a defacto ban.
