Am trying to see a silver lining here.

Dirtier air, sicker people. More profits for big polluters. Why vote for this?

Right-wing agenda. Simple as that. Maybe they would say something like all that monitoring is a gross waste of resources, and it's being done by liars falsifying data and misleading the public.
