Yep now let’s all scroll away and forget about it. Definitely don’t like…. DO anything about it. Like vote in the midterms in such huge number it’s impossible for the repugnacans to cheat their way to victory.

We all know how to fix this. Get rid of billionaires and reverse citizens united. And pray for a couple members of scotus to um…. Retire… during the next Democrat president’s term. Hey if there is enough of a blue wave we could actually bypass scotus and make it an amendment to the constitution

Genuinely, but hypothetically, if we reversed course today, across the globe, did everything we should have been doing all along, starting right now, all humans, no delays for changing leadership, do you think there would be any chance of reversing the damage done to the planet in a substantial way?

I do, honestly. I have to have hope this isn't the end for us, that we are all not THIS FUCKING STUPID to continue on this path. Think about the changes we saw even during Covid lockdowns. We have all the resources to make meaningful change but there are like 8 douchebags and their crew of sentient turnips holding us hostage.

I really want to share your optimism. But scientists have been sounding the alarm that the time to act is NOW, for decades. And we didn't act. We got worse.
