What scares me the most about the US election is the tribalism. The fact that people have stopped caring about what politicians do or say, because it all comes down to “our candidate good, their candidate bad”.

This way of thinking is what has opened the door to dictators throughout history. And the problem is, people do not regret their vote until the dictator wins and starts taking away their freedoms — THEN they suddenly complain, THEN they “never supported the guy”, and then it is too late.

@randahl This is an excellent take. I feel that this tribalism is somehow connected to the rising climate crisis.
@Staggaly @randahl
EVERYTHING about this is connected to the "climate crisis" (properly termed might be Environmental Collapse or perhaps Environmental Apocalypse).
