betterdeadthanredditI worry that he’s just the worst president in US history so far. When somebody eventually takes the title from him, they’re going to have to invent whole new categories of heinous, unpresidential shit to do. It’ll take a real trailblazer.
Optimistic that you think we’re going to have a future to have presidents in
Things are not great right now (to put it mildly) but I don’t think it’s the unrecoverable death-spiral that so many are hoping for. Time will tell.
Did you miss the election rigging and projecting that on the opposition?
Or subordinating media. Or their nurturing paramilitary groups to use like black shirts?
There is maybe one longshot chance in 2028 and we do not have leadership that can pull it off, still suckling at the teat of the establishment grooming newsom as the next weak sold out non reformer aristocrat to run on I am not the other guy offering empty platitudes not attacking the oligarchy or threatening their positions.
Like I said, things aren’t great. Sometimes I’ll employ a little understatement. Hasn’t been this bad yet in my lifetime but “USA Civil War II” hasn’t gone hot yet (for better or for worse). This country needs to vomit those poisonous fucks out, I’m just hoping we don’t choke on it in the process.
It is not even going to be like a civil war, we would need organized opposition for that. This will be a Reign of Terror. Almost all one way persecution of an ever-expanding group of people. Unless of course they lose control in 2028 but that seems increasingly unlikely given the same , unpopular, and sold out establishment leadership still controls the opposition party. No ambition let alone any fight, not a single Challenger for house, or senate, or even the presidency when anointing a candidate that never breached 30% popularity with four months to go. We were offered no reform, no fight against the people openly screwing us. Same worsening Healthcare and Drug system, Silicon Valley tightening the screws, and so forth. Not even a single fucking issue. They did not personally call out a single company or their leadership in any strong way.
Not a chance any of them lead a campaign to protect Americans from getting hurt.
if humans don’t sort out their politics/economics within a generation, im afraid it really is the beginning of the end. theguardian.com/…/collapse-critical-atlantic-curr…
The research found that if carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse, while an intermediate level of emissions resulted in collapse in 37% of the models. Even in the case of low future emissions, an Amoc shutdown happened in 25% of the models.
Scientists have warned previously that Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.
