We were staying at a motel west of Salt Lake City when we read the headline that the Trump Administration had drastically reduced the Bears Ears National Monument and also had opened the entire monument for extractive industries. I was so angry.
Now Bears Ears is back to its original boundaries, thanks to the Biden administration. Suits by Indian tribes had delayed any mineral extraction in the meantime.
Do any of these rabid Trump supporters ever think about national monuments, or clean water, or climate change? I’ve often wondered about that. They only seem to care about issues like guns, or abortion, or “critical race theory.” It’s such a narrow outlook.
