People don't seem to be aware that there are estimates that there could be 1.2 BILLION climate refugees by 2050. And it's not like they all just decide to migrate in that year.

We think things look fascist now? If we do not stomp out fascism immediately, there's going to be mass genocide. If people stop being complacent right now, we could do so much better.

I don't have my hopes up though.

The last time a protest accomplished anything was when people burned buildings and a police precinct to demand the arrest of George Floyd's murderer.

Struggling economically, which includes grocery prices, is absolutely what a lot of people voted for.

People are struggling with constantly increased cost of living here, and that is part of why ignorant moderate voters switched sides even though Trump is the worst answer.

No. It's going to push us right into fascism. This guy's a dipshit.

They would make more money by operating as normal. Collapsing the stock market is going to make it worse for them.

Chasing profit is how we got here. This shouldn't be the basis of the decision. If it's the only thing we can use to drag conservatives along though, I guess it'll have to do.
