    The Supreme Court will be changed for a generation. I’ll never see a moderate court again in my lifetime. Alito and Thomas will step down and Trump will appoint 40 year old partisans to the bench. The damage he is about to inflict on our institutions the next 2 years will be irreparable.

      If it helps you out-- GCC, late-stage capitalism, non-concern about microplastics, growing ocean acidification, the ongoing destruction upon coral reefs and natural fish populations, etc, were already kicking our arses, and now THIS.

        Honestly, we were done after Gore.

        2000 was the last time period we could have done something that wouldn’t result in unimaginable pain to deal with climate change.

        Too many tipping points have already been crossed.

          It should be noted here for younger people that the election was illegally stolen by the Republicans in Bush versus Gore. If that one thing hadn’t happened I believe we would be looking at a very different world today.
