    I can’t be bothered to worry about the climate 100 years from now

    I can because I care about my kids and potential grandchildren.

    we’re going to be attacking (many more) Americans 100 days from now

    I also have family members who will be impacted directly by that.

    I can be concerned about stopping both of those negative outcomes. (And would be even if it didn’t directly impact my family)

      I’m sorry, just my anxiety speaking there. Of course you’re right, but if Trump death squads purge the undesirables, nobody will be left to defend the environment, and this is on a shorter time table.

        Of all the bullshit that Trump yelled about, I think actual death squads is relatively low on the list of things he would actually be able to accomplish.

        For the first year or so he will be too focused on trying to punish the justice system that was so “unfair” to him.
