Fascinating to see the Western world fall apart while quadrupling down on the possibility AGI and fossil fuels.

5 to 10 more years of these disproportionately wealthy nations quibbling with each other and fighting within themselves due to far right politics and one wonders what the world will look like in a few decades.

Most empires fall when they spend more time looking backwards than forwards. Looking at you America..

Man, it sucks watching it from the inside.

To be fair, if younger generations showed up in force at every election like older ones do, this really could've been leashed by a great degree.

I also learned alot of things we expected were more or less suggestions that only needed one demagogue to completely spend.

Checks and Balances will live on in my head until I die.

Its possible as a once or twice off but I think with how the population skews in many Western countries, retirees will always have a disproportionate voice. Essentially death by gerentocracy. It's why new legislation often amounts to a transfer of wealth from young to old.

Even if that skew wasn't a factor, many young people are consuming far right propaganda on social media and accepting that ideology as their worldview.

Finally even if there is a massive rebuke against Trump/MAGA etc. by 2028 it may be too little too late.

Its fascinating to watch news within the US versus outside of it. Within the US there are political commentators recommending that allied nations do their best to hold out to 2028 when the US hopefully gets back on track. Outside the US, countries are reorganizing supply chains to minimize US involvement / dependency wherever possible.

When your most reliable partner suddenly becomes unreliable, you don't forget that in one election cycle.

Dementia is a horrible disease.

Trump is a horrible human.

Trump has dementia.

Discuss.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I'm rooting for dementia.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Honestly, in this particular case, I feel bad for the dementia.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

Trump is a horrible disease.

QED

Trump has abdicated all rights to be considered human.

[–] girthero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I get more and more Mad King vibes as each week passes.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Trump should go back to where he came from.

That is to say, Hell.
