To be clear, NO ONE is asking for the Roadless Rule to be repealed, only the billionaires of Trump 2.0 who want our public lands to build more data centers, country homes, golf resorts, private hunting reserves and of course to log, mine, and otherwise destroy and desecrate our federal public lands.

Long-standing, effective rules aren't being overturned to "simplify" anything. They're being overturned because Trump's nihilists want chaos in our backcountry as the reduced Forest Service will be wholly unable to manage the insanity of this rule change with ATVs crashing down narrow hiking trails.

Every time a Republican opens their mouth, they're projecting.
