Whilst I like this optimistic take; the level of existential threat from Climate Change and impending collapse of biodiversity, just somehow feels even more doom laden than yet another war.
If we get Trump in power; it won’t be one period of strife; it will be generations suffering this collapse.
Why worry about that when one day someone could get stressed and just end human life in a couple of hours? Our last great period of strife ended with the detonation of 2 very tiny nuclear bombs. Imagine if it had begun with everyone having thousands of big ones.
100% agree that Dump in power sets in motion a chain of events that Fs not only American democracy but likely the entire future of our planet. Irreversible, accelerating climate change and all that implies for sea levels, biodiversity, climate, crops, conflict.
Let's stay real about the stakes...
yep. whether or not the US becomes a christofascist hellhole or not is missing the point, which is that the planet is going to become uninhabitable in my lifetime. There’s no “getting through it”
