Cancelled. You can't be socially incorrect now, you can't say it like it is, you can't make stupid harmless jokes because you need to consider the feelings of those MAGA snowflakes.
/s fuck them. They love playing the bully, but then get bitchslapped and go running to mommy sobbing their eyes out "they're being mean to me".
In the proxima series by Stephen Baxter, when people realize just how fucked they are and revolt, they have huge international trials sentencing the oligarchy and their extended families to death.
Similarly in The Ministry for the Future, a bunch of people take "more direct" actions against those who put them in the situation where thousands of people boil to death in peak summer heat in India and such. And I don't blame them, I'm sure that's going to happen much more when the general public experiences more and more negative extreme effects from climate change. Hence why many billionaires are building climate change proof compounds.
Not just clean energy. America's scientific advantage has always been underpinned by our ability to recruit exceptional foreign scientists. Now we're rounding them up and deporting them. And broadly cutting funding to the remaining scientists while half the country actively demonizing them. China is jumping all over the opportunity and recruiting every scientist they can. They aren't the only one but they are America's most significant single country rival and, currently, the best candidate to be able to build a new global hegemony as America destroys its own. As an American my current hope for the next world order is the rise of a strong unified Europe. Even then we're probably going to end up with a bipolar world order like with the US and USSR post WW2.

They always said this would or could be China’s century.
I just don’t think we knew it’d be because the United States shot their own dick off willingly.

American Republicans are selling out the future of humanity for their own personal power and greed.
At what point should they be treated as criminals in the International Criminal Court? At what point do they face justice for what they're doing?

This is c/climate
Very few climate focused voters did.
The big issue for American environmentalists has long been failing to vote at all

That’s what Americans wanted. Otherwise they wouldn’t have elected pro oil, coal, and gas republicans. 🤷♂️

As temporary measures while they are building more nuclear plants than the US ever did.
