When we elected Trump in 2016, we knew that he was a vulgar conman and a pathological liar, but we didn’t know that he would commit treason against his country. Now we’re about to get what we so richly deserve.

The idea that Trump will be out of our lives anytime soon is pure fancy.

I join those who hold out hope that this isn’t going to be as bad as most of the world fears.

The only thing new is that they are now empowered to make this happen like no prior time in U.S. history. Our country is led by a criminal sociopath who has the full support of both houses of congress.

It’s a considerable mystery; they can’t afford eggs, but they seem to love getting stepped on by the U.S. federal government.

Won’t the MAGA crowd feel ripped off when they learn that Trump and his appointees couldn’t care less about them?
Just kidding. The answer is no. There is exactly nothing that the incoming president could do, no crime or act of betrayal he could commit that would weaken the loyalty of the rank and file Trump supporter.
He hates ethnic/religious minorities, intellectuals, and woke liberals, and that’s all that matters.

Obviously, there are parts of the globe that will be inhabitable far into the future, even as most of the globe is subject to extreme levels of heat, desertification, flooding, etc. Here, I’m talking about land masses that are far above sea-level, and relatively cool, due to their latitudes. For example, most of Canada will be in good shape far longer than India.
We keep talking about space migration, i.e., exporting humankind to another planet. That means finding a new home for all our greed, stupidity, and tribalism. Doesn’t sound appealing to me.

Out of curiosity, I asked where in the country he lives. He named the town, but it was unfamiliar to me. “Near Oslo?” I asked. “Not really,” he replied. “About 800 miles north of Oslo; 300 miles above the Arctic Circle. 67 days of darkness every winter.”
Yes, that’s different.
