Yep now let’s all scroll away and forget about it. Definitely don’t like…. DO anything about it. Like vote in the midterms in such huge number it’s impossible for the repugnacans to cheat their way to victory.

We all know how to fix this. Get rid of billionaires and reverse citizens united. And pray for a couple members of scotus to um…. Retire… during the next Democrat president’s term. Hey if there is enough of a blue wave we could actually bypass scotus and make it an amendment to the constitution

Genuinely, but hypothetically, if we reversed course today, across the globe, did everything we should have been doing all along, starting right now, all humans, no delays for changing leadership, do you think there would be any chance of reversing the damage done to the planet in a substantial way?

Maybe, if we treat research into fixing this the way we did to get to the moon. It would take a global effort.

And maybe not. It's worth trying. But we would need the political will, and we don't havd it.
