In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.
That’s your future whether you like it or not. And while we’re on the subject. Don’t make long term plans. With Chump’s election any minuscule hope we had of slowing down apocalyptic climate catastrophe went up in smoke. Very few of us are gonna die of old age.
The ACA is going away. Mike Johnson already said so. Social Security will be bankrupt by 2030. Best you can hope for is a Tesla robot to bring you your meals in the resthome.
The US is likely heading into war soon, too.
I am so curious how I will die. Lot of options now. Not just boring old age.
Normally we count people’s age by how many years they’ve lived. But if we count our age from time of death, backwards, everyone on the planet is pretty much the same age now. And on hospice.
Sounds like you’re hoping for an apocalypse. Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 because he knew it wouldn’t be popular with his voters. We’ll see how much of it is actually supported by the majority of Republicans.
I don’t think the upper class and upper-middle class will suffer that much, besides the obvious loss of liberty. And they aren’t taking away liberties that are popular among Republicans. Climate change isn’t going to kill us all, but it will make this world even more dystopic.
There will be a midterm election in 2 years, and the Republicans will have far less power of they don’t control the house and senate. We can still control the damage. Like I said, this is like cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.
I applaud your rosy outlook and sincerely hope you’re right. But my cynicism has yet to lead me wrong.
