They've been around a long time, but a thing to consider is that in 2015 a great deal of people's entire political discourse was what was portrayed on South Park and/or The Daily Show-Colbert Report. Both on the Comedy Central channel.

They wielded far more influence than many realized.

Unfortunately this person did not have a western sounding name so there's going to be even less attention than Rachel's murder received.

Revolutions are long-term work. They are not nor ever have been overnight affairs throughout history.

Now there's an adage attributed to everyone's favoritr 20th century revolutionary actor: "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen."

These are to be taken into account together. Don't mistake those weeks as separate or independent from the decades.

Honestly an answer of "Because I like beer." is not a bad answer. It is the stammering and stumbling to get to that answer and then leaving it at that is a faceplant.

Less than 30 seconds preparing with an internet search would give me a list of breweries on the city he was in that could be referenced as a slam fucking dunk for a campaign. It is probably the most boilerplate GOP campaign question since Dubya.

But this is JD Vance and the Trump campaign we're talking about. Hah.

It can get very litigious.

Everything is lawyered to the point the administrative bureaucracy is refreshingly straightforward.

A large part of the barriers are that tribal lands are federally managed. State agencies that directly involve with the issues of climate change are out of their jurisdiction on tribal lands.

Even state agencies that directly manage and implement things like water quality, water rights, and especially fishing rights and the salmon runs have to work with tribes through the federal government.

And unfortunately with the tribes being sovereign there's a chronic authority complex between local governments that handle and implement virtually every state program.

Simultaneously having to manage four distinct levels of government is a bureaucratic hellscape.

Source: works and has worked in government in these issues, with these specific tribes, at various and different levels and agencies for almost a decade.

A few wooden stakes, a roll of chicken wire, an AR-15, and an overwatching IDF sniper or armored vehicle. That's your settler starter pack.

Eventually you get to "Maybe next holiday." Which turns into "Maybe next vacation."

And then you realize you're burning PTO on various crisises than a vacation will never come.

So that's developing into "Maybe if I am lucky to retire..."
