It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I’m not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

    I didn’t have any hope for carbon neutrality in the first place. My hope was for more of maybe a “falling with style” path to self-destruction for humanity, and not a head-first dive into the concrete.

    That said, I’m 36, male, white and blue collar, so is my family. I have no concerns over them, but I keep and hold my concern for the rest of America.

    Politically, I consider America a lost cause. I am currently looking towards avenues to become less politically involved, if only because now with an entirely conservative government, I don’t see any real reason to care.

    I’ll probably spend the next four years reading 40k lore.
