blame the Boomers, Gen X, and the Millennials for what’s happening.

I’m sorry, but while I believe there are thoughtful and intelligent young American voters out there, most of their age cohorts are too stupid or clueless to come in out of the rain.

I’ll have to miss watching Millenial and Gen Z politicians and talking-heads trying to explain why their actions didn’t exacerbate the effects of global warming.

stem the effects of climate change. Of course, that will only come about because the financial depression that's coming means there'll not be money for anything. But, climate change will be stemed because travel will reduce which will help clean the air (as was proven during COVID) govt money won't be available for construction and development projects which means the air will be cleaner because dirt is not being turned over, and the value of the dollar will drop dramatically which will mean people can't afford to pay to water their lawns, etc., so the water crisis will be "fixed."
Yeah, we're in for a fun ride.

and angry incels.

Oh well!!

Running around with their AR's, living off the land, laughing at the libs.

Source: I know guys exactly like this. The irony is that they'd be utterly fucked the moment the lights went out and the bullets started flying.

I've been gradually emerging from my post-election cocoon. I was shocked but not surprised by the result.

I thought (hoped?) that young voters and women would save us from the hellscape that now lies ahead. Instead they sealed the deal.

I'm going to be 70 next year. I am done with hoping, and waiting for voters and society to do the right, smart thing. I've gone through a lot of elections since 1968 when I first became aware. Not too many turned out as I had hoped.

I realized that it is time to say goodbye to any hope or dream that the United States would get its shit together and lead the world out of the shitstorm that awaits.

It seems that the 'adults' are far more worried about their kid going 'trans' because of 'woke' politicians than they are about what kind of world awaits their children in twenty or thirty years.

So fuck it and fuck them. I'm going back to my basic environmentalist roots. Democrats, Republicans, talking heads, whatever. It's all bullshit.

I've been taking in a lot of climate change podcasts and Youtubes. I'm not the only one lamenting the fact that we've squandered forty years and now will squander four more. It's always been a tiny step forward and then two or three back.

I just heard that the chance for a non-radical future is essentially zero. There are two choices: a radical implementation of the changes needed to address climate change (extremely unlikely) or nature will provide the radical changes.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. We just engaged in delusional, lazy thinking.

Good luck America. Good luck world.
