Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system?

A lot of people are in denial about the effects of policies they support.

Just look at the cost of housing. There's a ton of NIMBY homeowners who are deep in denial that zoning huge swaths of cities to be exclusively mcmansions could possibly cause house prices to be artificially high.

No they'll just sit there continuing to pretend climate change isn't happening

A lot of them will recognize the problems, they just blame them on the wrong things.
