And yet, none of this is in any way surprising. This is what the US voted for. Nobody who voted for Trump can claim innocence. They all knew exactly what they were doing.

Pathetic! My penis rocket is much bigger than your penis rocket!

What are you talking about, you filthy usurper? I’m the only legitimate king of the internet!

We can change our technology to be more sustainable or we can regress to a pre-industrial society with 90% of the population dying in the process. Which do you prefer?

But that would require travelling to the US. I’ll have to pass on that until some semblance of sanity returns there. I don’t expect to see that in my lifetime.

Indeed I haven’t.
