I've been running the Auden line "we must love one another or die" through my head for months. In the broad sense, agape, loving the planet, etc. It has been clear to me for some time we will not love one another.

The only part of that stupid debate I listened to was when Trump was asked what he would do about climate change. He babbled something about how when he was president they had ‘H20’ and Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were so in the tank for him they didn’t ask him what the fuck he was talking about
