Liberal Nutter Porn Vol. I :The Climate and the Republic, Melting Down in Real Time

The Climate and the Republic, Melting Down in Real Time

The United States is facing two grim prospects in 2022: one, that continued abuse of the ecosphere could render much of the Earth unlivable for humans and myriad other species, and two, that the United States' current political drift toward autocratic rule could accelerate, dashing any hope of attaining a multiracial, pluralistic democracy. These two emergencies are intertwined. Either we find meaningful responses to both, or we fail dramatically on both.

A couple of Doomsday key points from the opening:
1) The Earth will be unlivable
2) Democracy is in peril

That sets the stage for all manner of nuttery to follow. The Far-Right Power Grab, We Have Two Years to Get Ten, A Tsunami for Democracy?

The call to violent action:

Pro-democracy voters could, through our sheer numbers, overwhelm the anti-democracy camp's attempts to subvert the Constitution. The movements for climate mitigation and justice, Indigenous sovereignty, Black lives, economic democracy, and the Earth could merge into one collective wave. Other events, unforeseeable today, also might change the landscape of possibilities in our favor.

Overwhelm. Movements. Collective Wave. Change the Landscape.

By force if necessary.

My eyes must be getting really bad in my old age. I missed the by force if necessary part or were you projecting the right's intent?

Oh no.
The Dems are calling for Democrat voters to make sure they go out and vote.

It's almost like they want to win or something.
What utter bastards!!!!!!!!!

I do not consider the opinions of coup-supporters relevant except to the extent their beliefs represent an existential threat to the United States of America.

It's in there. Here's a NSFW peek at some of the dirty bits:

The Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance moved the U.S. out of its "democracy" category late last year, classifying us instead as a "backsliding democracy."

People who think the earth will be unlivable in 20 years should go ahead and do the planet a favor and take a headfirst plunge off the nearest building.
