We're heading to a water park for the day, and I don't have any good ideas for a thread.
Concerns, calamities, and whatnot?
Comments (83)I'm extremely worried about public opinion. That somehow Trump will land on his feet, and all these horrible things - deportations and immigration rallies, kicking people off health care, destroying the university research engine of the country - will be met with a shrug, or lack of attention. That the generic voter lacks any sense of scale, and will draw lazy equivalencies between Biden and Trump, and never connect any dots.
It's all such a galling unforced error!! As a country, we didn't have to make our own lives shittier and less healthy and worse! We didn't have to vote for mass economic precariousness and stealth poisoning! There are so many real problems that need careful, actual planning and instead we're just razing everything to the ground. We've put the worst fucking people in charge and we're stuck with this, and we're only 1/8th of the way through this term.
Sorry, I know this is not a new thought in any sense.
