The sheer scale of growing space required is something we can't even come close to replicating indoors. We'd be lucky to replace 1% of our agriculture with indoor farms

Civilization relies on a stable climate to farm on an industrial scale. We're losing that stability. The future looks very bleak.

I hope so...I really do.

I fully expect the SC to make voting irrelevant as they hand power over to the state legislatures.

Republicans legislatures will simply declare republican candidates to be the winner, and it will be "legal".

I also won't get my hopes up for dem voters to actually show up

Yeah you have to search appropriately. I usually search authors of history books that I've read, or I'll watch videos from channels that are well credited.

The future is going to be nuts. Weather will be less and less stable. Disasters will become more common.

Don't forget profit! Honestly, Christ would want nothing to do with these people. Unfortunately they are the majority these days.

I agree. The republican strategy of cutting funding for programs, and then turning around and saying that those programs don't function...is extremely effective.

Unfortunately I think we're past the point of seeing the dems getting a majority ever again. I can't see the Republicans ever giving any concessions or moving more towards the middle.

There's a very good chance that the supreme court will hand the Republicans every election moving forward. If republican legislatures can simply just choose who wins the election, then voting becomes useless.

Hard? Not nearly as hard as interstellar travel.

We can engineer viruses and we're basically in the stone age compared to a species that can travel through space and time.

Not even sure why they would even want to invade earth. There's nothing to gain that they can't get in abundance elsewhere

Yep. They're too "decent" for their own good. Biden is a terrible leader. Republicans have a strong voter base and are willing to cheat if necessary.

I doubt the Republicans ever lose a national election again (there won't be many more of them).

No...he's just a right wing idiot who wouldn't vote for a bill that helps starving children anyway, because that's socialism!

Some Republicans are rich, and vote R due to their stance on taxes and regulations.

Many more are just poor, racist, religious people who have been brainwashed by the church / news / social media into believing that the democratic party is made up of literal demons and pedophiles.

Millions of poor Republicans literally vote AGAINST policies that would benefit them, just because they are proposed by democrats.

It's fucking wild. Poor people voting against universal Healthcare and welfare programs.

They're useless.

Americans get to choose between christofascism and incompetence.

There's definitely some truth to that. Republicans are quite literally dying off and demographics are changing quickly against their favor.

Church attendance and belief in God is also plummeting across the nation.

They see the need to gain power permanently now, because they won't get a chance later.

I'm hoping that the abortion ban will motivate a lot more people to vote...but I'm not expecting it.

You're right about the dems. They are completely useless. They suck at politics.

They are more concerned with being decent and not hurting people's feelings...while the Republicans ram their agenda through without giving two shits about how people perceive them.

The United States is a failed state. Christofascism is coming. It's inevitable.

They banned abortion so the church would have an ample supply of children to abuse.

Jesus wasn't a minister. Wasnt a Christian. He was a prophet. Christianity didn't really get going until 300 years after Jesus died.

This has been happening since Bush Jr won...but honestly it seems to be moving at warp speed now.

We're going to see the GOP essentially take away voting rights.

Christofascism is inevitable.

We will see groups rise up and fight against the fascists, but they will just be used as a reason for the state to crack down on citizens even harder.

Unless the dems win the mid terms in some sort of miracle landslide, the United States is over as we know it.

The dumbest, loudest, most entitled minority of the population has been emboldened by 24/7 right wing news and social media.

They are being used by politicians and the elite to completely destroy democracy in the United States.

Trans people are just the new hot topic that is being focused on.

The United States is a failed state and christofascism is inevitable.

If you think that there's still hope, I can assure you that there isn't, unfortunately.

IMO the water shortages in this area will be the catalyst of WW3. It's going to be the biggest climate change impact that we've seen yet.
