Well you've certainly found a way to be condescending to generations younger than us despite the fact that insane reality denial is more prevalent in ours.
We and our parents generation are generation memememe and we're leaving a right mess behind.

Very little of what you are saying is true.
Firstly you're wrong about traffic levels. Secondly you're wrong that they have not accounted for that kind of change.
The rest of what you say is insane. No you don't have a right to kill people with your pollution due few because you're lazy and cheap. If you think that is viscous I don't know if there's anything approaching common decency and sense that will get through to you.

You say that but people have been fighting tooth and nail against it, and they often use the excuse that it won't work. I think they often convince themselves that's true.

The American Citizen should be legislating that alright. By threatening to vote every motherfucker out of office who dares to forget THAT long-held rule over 200 years old.
In practice over 50% of voters will vote for an insurrectionist and about 35% will vote for him literally no matter what he does. So yeah, the majority of your population don't give a flying fuck about the constitution.

If this persists China will simply build more fabs, and more quickly than anyone else. So what if it's old-ish tech, at least they will have it.

From an obviously-biased source, yes.
Short version:
Winston Churchill was quite biased against fascist germany and its leadership. Yet he was still correct that they were a great danger to Europe.
Longer version:
Biased and Wrong are too different things. Those with a Bias will absolutely tell the truth when it coincidentally aligns with them. It would be quote ignorant not to listen to both sides is a debate, including the side you are predisposed against.
Not one reporting the reality of actual federal policy. Ooh, "one senior official!" And "internal memos!" Couldn't possibly be made up, not with their utter failure (and yours) to cite a single public document outlining any policy change whatsoever from the prior half century.
Anonymous insiders and whistleblowers are quite common in journalism.

"The countries most negatively affected by MAGA's blind co-signing of Trump's policies definitely think Trump and his allies are nuanced, savvy individuals." Yeah, okay pal.
Now go talk to the people of those countries who are not under the influence of totalitarian socialists.

I have it under good authority from half of Americans that "The Left" is "socialism". Or maybe it was communism or one of those other words no one in politics has ever used correctly when name calling someone else.
No, you conflate pop culture discussions with historical discussions.

socialist left view - if you don't agree with me, you're evil.
Well yes, but only on matters of socialism, you know the idea that people should be treated equitably, that healthcare and education should be available, that we shouldn't let people die in the streets homeless.
That’s a misrepresentation of socialism. Also, those goals exist in both traditional liberalism and conservatism. The difference is in what policies will get us to those goals.
Let's flip the argument to the negative.
Flipping one erroneous argument to a contrary erroneous argument does not prove anything.
