It is about punishing blue states.
I am a x refugee and I used to look like a bot with a different handle and no pic on x. I am climate doomer. I am so much of a climate doomer that reading Deluge and also reading Ministry of The Future made me feel better. (Deluge was a better book btw!)

It is about punishing blue states.
Isn’t Trump too much of a narcissist to personally announce he is voluntarily stepping down? I could see if better if someone else was doing the announcement
Trump might be suffering, right now, this very instance. Let the girlies dream!
I hate them for liking this.
The younger gen has a lot lower sperm count and testosterone because of plastic. We messed up their endocrine systems with toxins. I think where this will end up going, if they take away our access to birth control, is men will get a lot less sex.
The evangelicals are going to drag us back into the dark ages with their approach to science. No evolution research. No deep time research. No climate change research. No research into anything that threatens their literal interpretation of the Bible.
You know the old saying “when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross”? What RFK is doing is the religious side, the carrying the cross part.
Yeah, it’s really bad right now because of Republicans. I am sorry. It was a good plan.
Overton window. They like us wasting time with this so we can’t make social progress.
If only there were a process where senators could approve Trump’s picks
Funny thing is most polls show the number one reason that people are choosing to not have kids is the expense, today.
Yeah. I am glad your kids are okay. Our district had a school shooting, healing from this is a process. One kid who was near the shooter has a prob w/fireworks now. When she hears them she will cover her ears &scream MAKE It STOP MAKe IT StOP!!!! Her parents thot she was fine b4 she screamed.
And because homeschoolers go to places like malls and movies and parades and festivals where shootings sometimes happen.
We need to stop treating them as lone wolves. The right wing is so focused on individualism that there isn’t a single damn thing that sticks to them, everything Republican reflects on the individual and not the collective. Even Trump.
They consider banned covid vaccines a win, those fuckers.
If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, they lost their minds over military exercises that never happened. That was tracked back to a Russian disinformation op.
This is more likely to be supported by the boomers and gen x so the failure was a long time ago The real problem is propaganda. Propaganda can get through almost any amount of education.
But omg the tomatoes!
I know we have to keep asking this but we should probably recognize that republicans are malicious and using the federal government with specific intention to hurt us. We should not assume they are good people because they are not good people. His reason is to punish democrats.
Thank you for saying what needs to be said
Now think about all the American ministers who voted for Trump. Should they not be argued with? Should we treat them as experts and ignore the glaring signs that they have drastically lost their way? www.christianitytoday.com/2024/09/trum...
They should still teach about birth control of course. But this has a sort of gallows humor if you think about it It: Repubs want to get the birth rate up by taking away abortion & sex Ed & maybe even birth control But it isn’t working yet cause the next gen isn’t having as much sex
One thing to consider: this generation has half the sperm count and half the testosterone as boys in the sixties. Studies have linked this decline to plastic in their blood. Their behavior will be different. This gen already has less sex than any gen before them, & I think it is b/c of hormones.
So funny that now the kids are genuinely abstaining - they don’t have as much sex as former generations - repubs are like wait not like that!
Now if we can just get republicans to wake up and understand they are the reason this happened and there will be a lag to recovery.
There is a difference when something is caused by world events and when it is caused by no other reason than Republicans malice. I hope republicans rot in hell.
Yeah. He also has done a lot for supporting good science research.
The way the news cycle looked to me: rumors about Bill Gates’ association with Epstein came out. His wife divorced him soon after.
This!
Dems would probably get higher favorably ratings if they attacked more. Right now it feels like they are mostly bending the knee. There are a lot of ways they could go on the attack and they just…. don’t.
I think the people of California still need to vote on the redistricting.
There is a valid argument that a lot of Repubs are narcissistic sociopaths.
Just had a convo with my sister in law. She said she voted to “cause dems pain” and when I told her it was working she said “good.” It isn’t cynical. It is an accurate impression of the average Republican.
We’ve got the best hackers, probably. That can cause casualties easy.
I believe in testing theories. Trump should test the idea and stand before the pearly gates, see if he makes it!
Trump would have to be dead to be in heaven!
Even worse: based on lies.
Let’s assume that maga and republicans are going to be with us until the end of the fucking world - and we aren’t going to change their minds. Now what?
Is that what republicans are doing? Their values are making the Dems “feel trauma” and “hurt the Dems” Literally. They literally say that all the fucking time, including people they elect and appoint.
I believed Trump when he said he was a germophobe so he wouldn’t do that. I believed him because I heard that Trump is a germophobe from “Katie Johnson” first - the girl Trump raped at Epstein’s New York mansion. She said Trump made put on gloves before she touched his penis.
We also have to convince them the government matters for environmental issues & climate change. This poll doesn’t show that at all. Most Repubs are NIMBY environmentalists. They might plant milkweed in their yards &save local trails but they will throw us under the bus at the legal & federal level.
Like MAHA They are killing all sorts of regulatory agencies and regulations, and still perceive themselves as being good for the environment.
I think there is an underlying problem with this philosophy. I don’t think we will find a way forward without government sponsored research or government regulations. Asking businesses to be environmentally friendly? This is just a way for republicans to think they are good for the environment.
The only constant is change. There is no coming back from this, yes, but we can still bend the change so we don’t go into the fucking dark ages that the evangelicals want.
Implicit in the waving of the camera is that the video can be released whenever the protestor wants.
Doubt it. Dems aren’t violent outside of property damage. If we were we would have started the violence already.
Time we don’t have because of climate change threats.
I don’t think I will ever forgive Trump voters so I can see the rest of the world not forgiving us.
The fatalism might come from so many people’s climate change research grants being killed.
We need to do all of those things, yes, Except crime is very low right now. The basis of their argument is untrue.
That was my interpretation btw, but this is one of the good books on it www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTZHT2Q...
I don’t think the problem is alarmism, I think the problem is lack of direction after the alarmism. Do you see what evangelicals have called us for the last several decades? Massive alarmism not based in truth but they found their foot soldiers who are willing to kill us that way.
It is a big thought shift. I think even people who recognize that we are in fascism haven’t reconciled what that means about all of their other morals and beliefs.
There IS a funding link between the oil industry and the apocalyptic Christians tho. (Christians who want to accelerate the apocalypse so they can be raptured and meet Jesus) I think it’s fair at this point to call the Republican Party an end times death cult. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
I disagree w/the underlying assumption that doomsayers deny the need for climate action. I have seen this argued a lot, but it comes down to psychological responses & we all respond differently The only people currently denying the need for action I see r repubs who don’t understand how bad it is
I have a kid who is not at all interested in dating. I personally think this is a hormone thing, as many studies have shown generational drops in testosterone, linked to plastic. My kid despises that theory.
I think we are at the point where the generational testosterone drop - 30 percent since 1987 - is changing their behavior. Studies have linked this to plastic.
I suspect that generational decline in testosterone, which has been linked to plastic, might have something to do with this.
The republicans will have a great time rounding people up.
Climate displacement too.
For the record idk if they explained it right because gravitational pull is not the same as sitting on the couch and having the sides bulge up.
If you can read the WaPo, this article said that the ice had such a large gravitational pull on the water Tho its metaphor was like sitting on the couch and having the sides bulge up www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Every violent Republican is a lone wolf!
Can you go to someone else and say you don’t have insurance?
I cannot process the rage. Yes, it is every Trump voter.
Slow them down. Be the bumbling, slow and apologetic person that gets in their way.
We still need to bug them and demand accountability, but most of the Dems are at this point obviously complicit
What did I do? I got blocked. I was just trying to find the books you recommended and put them on my Amazon wish list?
Sounds like the perfect kind of trip for Elon.
Lee zeldin has a long history of saying stupid shit.
Literally, literally they want to accelerate the apocalypse.
The capitalist take on the cultural revolution.
I would also be interested in seeing this broken down by party affiliation. That might help narrow down how much of this is due to toxic info environments.
And we let them cheat and win without retribution.
And yet the polls I saw showed that generation voting for Trump.
I remember seeing a list once of costs for Olympics, and when Russia hosted it their cost was WAY out of bed. Then I realized all their money went to bribes.
They should be giving the people they fired first dibs at the job.
And backed by the state
Are you guys getting the smoke from the fire near Carizzo plains (in between Santa Barbara and slo)?
Deluge! It imagines near term future. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B3...
I have realized somewhat recently that we are going to have asshole climate change deniers with us all the way to the end of the world. I used to think convincing them was the biggest goal. If you accept you can’t convince them, then what is the play?
Yeah the whole point of the republicans right now is to transfer money and value from the American middle class and give it to the billionaires. The whole entire fucking point.
Yes! This!
This time sure. But the infrastructure and future data is gone.
I told my GenZ kids that I wished I could take them back to the 90’s - cause more trees, more animals, less heat, more environmental ignorance - and also more of us felt hope. And my kids were like eeeewww, no.
That model might change with how social media and propaganda seems to be messing GenZ boys up. Like I used to think boomers would die and then we could take care of climate change as the new generation rises, but that hope has gone away because republican propagandists have gotten gen z boys.
I watched Katie’s video back in 2016. A couple details she mentioned were corroborated later. First both she and Stormy said that Trump was attracted to them because they looked like Ivanka. Second, Katie mentioned Trump was a germophobe and require her to wear gloves,
I don’t think this will happen until the rich fear the mob, which of course they don’t.
No leaders but I think that is because the potential younger leaders, who were less corrupt because corruption increases with time served, were blocked by the establishment.
Or rich people control it all and it has nothing to do with the rest of us
In case you missed the case filed against Trump in New York court for raping a 13 year old tag Epstein’s ny mansion. The case was filed back in 2016, dropped, but the woman who filed got death threats. thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-t...
I think it is more likely that the dems wouldn’t have moved on this because bill clinton would have been implicated. I mean Nancy Pelosi was saying she thinks we should focus on kitchen table issues over Epstein just two weeks ago. She would have covered for at least someone in those files.
The people most likely to release it are the young democrats. All the old ones seem to have been at least partially corrupted in their possible desire to protect bill clinton.
According to Katie Johnson’s testimony, while he was raping katie, Trump also threatened to “disappear” Katie like he had “already disappeared” Maria , if katie talked. Begs the question of what happened to Maria? Was she killed? thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-t...
I don’t think I have ever met a Trump voter who felt burned by that. They just went along with whatever Trump said. It is the people who knew Trump voters who got burned. They realized the Trump voters in their lives have no real values, are inconsistent, unreliable.
It’s even worse thinking Harris is tied to it because she is a Clinton pick.
The whole Bill Clinton’s wife being held accountable for Bill but Trump not being held accountable for Trump is another reason I despise republicans.
Also in Los Angeles the police got MORE money but the Republicans still said we defunded it.
I hope that this is yet another instance of our legal system not catching up to tech changes rather than a portent for the future.
Also it was after the alleged rape of Katie Johnson thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-t...
