    For the past 50 years, Democrats have been supporting environmental protection laws and Republicans have been against them.

    It is equivalent to compare “But Nixon started the EPA” to “Lincoln ended slavery.” That Nixon started the EPA 50 years ago is irrelevant to all the following decades where Republicans have been consistently against the environment. It’s no different than when Magas say they aren’t racist because of Lincoln.

    If it’s a straight line from Nixon to Trump as you say, then why claim Republicans are environmentalists with Nixon as your example?
