    I’m willing to stand in front of a bulldozer if it comes down to that.

    The thing in Florida is encouraging, although that was at the State level rather than Federal. I’m sure there are organizations who are going to oppose this… if this happens it will be irreversible and will effectively ruin western states, and put a huge dent in local economies. This will also hurt the people who don’t hike. People come to the western US from all over the world to use our public land.

      People don’t understand what’s happening, there are a lot of people willing to stand in front of bulldozers. This is their technique:

      “The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

      So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

      “All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”
