Again, I'm not debating the factuality of climate change. Ice levels, CO2 levels, insect populations, lakes volumes, soil condition, etc. are objectively in the worst state that they have been for millennia and denying this reality won't make it disappear.
If you think that you and your cushy Western lifestyle will somehow be immune to the impact of the objectively worsening environment then, like I said, you're going to be in for a shock.
I'm not sure how old a lot of you are, but you don't need to read or hear anything to understand how rapidly things are changing.
Not long ago, you couldn't drive 50 miles without 100 bugs smashed on your windshield. When's the last time you had one? The Mississippi River is running dry in spots. We've spent decades fighting a religious extreme clan in the Middle East and are now trying to out-crazy even them. Our inability to measure risk killed nearly a million when an extreme cold drifted this way. Global temperatures have climbed a million years' worth in 50 years.
No I'm saying the US is one of the few countries on earth that will be perfectly fine even if the climate change hysteria turns out to be even remotely warranted. This is decades away.
As for the present. Yes people vote with their wallets and Biden has been a disaster for the economy.
Uh huh, the present is a "disaster" but things will be "perfectly fine" in a scenario where you lose a good chunk of your international supply chains due to societal unrest elsewhere... In your simple world Republicans and isolationism will fix everything and it'll be business as usual forever!
We literally just lost a good chunk of our international supply chains with the COVID pandemic.
The lesson learned wasn't "more globalism".
But by all means keep thinking you have it all figured out.
Denying climate change won't make it go away. Temperatures are objectively rising, lakes are objectively shrinking, insect and animal populations are objectively falling. Like gravity, whether or not you accept it is happening is honestly immaterial to the point that I'm not even going to bother arguing with you.
I'm 63. I'm a political scientist with a master's degree.
I'm sick to my stomach of this election. I just don't see any reason why anyone would vote for any Republican.
I was a registered Republican for years. But I look at what the party is doing now and it disgusts me.
They are talking about taking away freedom, raising taxes on the poor and middle class and lowering taxes on the wealthy.
Taking away health insurance and women's rights, yet, people still, for some inexplicable reason think they care about the country.
There is no doubt there was an attempt to overthrow the government and that government officials and politicians were involved yet the party leadership wants to forget it happened.
We're losing Democracy. Please wake up.
Thank God that you are as delusional as Baghdad agip. Dem policies are a complete failure and we the people reject your party, your wokeness, your open borders, your anti fossil fuels, your grooming of kids, your weakness on crime.
Go back to your crack pipe.
You poor, misguided, ignorant fool. You have no clue what you're talking about. Some other intelligent people and I were talking about how people like you deserve what you get from Republican policies, but the rest of us don't.
Your closed mindedness is what keeps you so ignorantly in the dark. You can mess up your own life but you have no right to mess up mine.
I think there will be plenty of implications. However, the left's fever dream that Iowa will be under water if we don't ban fossil fuels is just pure propaganda.
Democrats are arguing that any interference in their efforts to achieve 1 party rule is a "threat to democracy".
Globalism only works because the US supports it. The US doesn't need globalism. Europe does. China does. Australia does.
No matter what happens the US will be fine.
So in a thread that is essentially saying, "Republicans are going to win because prices are high and people want things to be cheap again", you believe everything being produced domestically with significantly higher US wages is a viable option? The current Western lifestyle is only possible due to cheap imports.
I'm pleased to see a poster circling back to Rojo's question on inflation and what inflation means for November elections.

Today, I learned that extreme nationalism will protect us from natural disasters. Who knew!

As soon as global warming became a money making political tool actual science left the discussion.
The only 100% concrete fact we know with complete certainty about the climate is that even if the US reduced it's emissions to zero today it wouldn't matter at to the environment because China and India were given free passes by the ridiculous Paris Climate Accords.

The only people trying to inject themselves into every facet of people's lives are Democrats.
Democrat policies are so successful that the states with declining populations are blue and the fastest growing areas are red.
You calling other people ignorant is laughable. You paid tens of thousands of dollars for 2 degrees supposedly and you're literally dumber than you were when you were 17.

Ghost of Disco- have you paid attention to REPUBLICANS?
Their budget proposal calls to raise taxes on the poor and middle class and lower taxes for the wealthy.
They want to cut and eventually eliminate social security and medicare.
They want to take health insurance from millions and bring back to pre-existing conditions clause (anyone who had Covid can be denied health insurance).
They want to have a federal ban on abortion- which includes the medical procedure for ending a miscarriage.
They'll force a child to carry a rapist's baby and raise it with no help from the state.
You are the delusional one. If you agree with all of that you're simply sick.
But, your reply was so off the wall I think you're just a troll or you went to the same school as MTG, Hershel Walker and Boebert.

The lesson learned wasn't "more globalism".
But by all means keep thinking you have it all figured out.
I'm just pointing out that "higher prices = bad; cutting off cheap international supply chains = good" are incompatible stances. The cheap products that underpin the Western lifestyle are the direct result of globalism and will disappear without it.

You left the Republican party, good for you. You're brain damaged from the lib Kool-Aid. Biden has been a disaster, our economy sucks and you seek to continue down this path of destruction. The entire country is suffering because of these insane policies. Our country has rejected these idiotic leftist politicians.
The dems need split and create a 3rd party. Call it the 'Open Party' move all their far left members. All the crt, anti cop, anti bail, anti USA, anti parents, ant cis, anti white male members into it. And in 8 yrs when their Hero B Griner gets out of prison they will have their ideal candidate.

The amount of right wingers that spread lies and conspiracy theories is amazing. This needs to end immediately because this rhetoric is dangerous
The libs who try defend this administration are hilarious and not to be be taken seriously. Face it, your party is self-destructing.

Globalism will eventually win out. We don't want and we don't need it. We can only hold it off as long we keep 'America First' politicians in the majority. However, the NWO will eventually take hold and our world will accept a one-world leader. I doubt this will happen in my lifetime, but it's inevitable. This has been written about in the Book of Revelation.

Complains about inflation in one thread, complains about global supply chains in another.
Dude, you are an EPIC troll. No one is willfully this stupid. Who still takes this guy serious. He’s great for a laugh.

Globalism is good.
E.g. The Japanese are simply better at making cars than Americans. I shouldn’t be forced to pay more for worse quality cars just because a white dude in Michigan made it.
