People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

    As someone looking from outside, it feels like a lot of this could be minimized if the US fixed their electoral system.

    It’s an arcane system that makes the votes of the middle states more valuable than the outer states. Which means deeply conservative states get to say who runs the country.

    So you end up with a religion driven police state, fueled by technofeudalism. Not unlike the regimes you keep overthrowing.

      Yup, which is why they fight so hard to prevent any change to this system!
