    Here’s what’s going to happen.

    Climate change will continue to ravage our planet, devastating vulnerable communities, fueling a great migration to areas that we can still use for agriculture. This scenario means that even if your area isn’t terribly affected, you will be affected by the rise in immigration to your land.

    As we all know, necessity is the mother of invention so this will lead us to:

    -Finally bring to fruition stable fusion nuclear power.

    -Invest in space travel on a scale we can’t even imagine today.

    -Place colonies on the moon.

    -Figure out and eventually deploy terra forming operations to bring our planet back from the brink.

    Also a lot of us will be psyched to find out that in the future, we’ll want to build dwellings under ground, so yes, you may yet get to live in a hobbit hole, and have a small farm on your roof.

    Oh yeah, and Greenland will be MAD valuable as an agricultural hub, which is why (I suspect) drumpf is trying (like a child would) to take it.

    I think everyone is under the impression that because we survived the first four years, we’ll survive the second.

    On election day, I steadied myself by saying that perhaps the only way to get a Bernie Sanders or FDR-like leader is for complete and utter disaster to occur prior. Of course, I can’t imagine a worse disaster than the first four years, but, hey, maybe this time will be even worse.

    It’s really hard to hold onto hope for anything better, when throughout the course of my lifetime, everything has only gotten worse.

    Income inequality was the highest it had been since the great depression, but that was years ago, and it’s only gotten worse.

    The whole world was supposed to band together to stop the climate from warming past 1.5 C. We hit that last year, decades earlier than even the worst timelines predicted.

    The rise of far-right nationalists in seemingly every country is like giving toddlers mid-tantrum nuclear launch codes. The fallout would kill us all.

    I’m a non-violent person, but if a someone wants to start the progressive socialist revolution, know that I’ll stand beside you, brother.
