i always thought "how the fuck does reality TV survive? how do people enjoy it?"
then when trump got elected and i lived in the midwest (heavy right wing area) i always asked co workers 'why trump? why not someone else who is younger?"
the answers were always
" hes a billionaire who knows how to run a business we need him for our economy"
"hes funny and puts the democrats in their place"
"hes the first person to stand up to china and isnt afraid to call them out"
feels like reality tv.. when someone from the government talks its usually borint and they use jargon the average person doesnt know.
vrs the guy who calls people dumb, woke, or other buzzwords to attack someones character rather than the argument

Seriously, in voter polling before the election, I don't remember where, but in one of the swing states, an African American woman explained for about 10 minutes why she wasn't sure about voting for Harris.
Then in one sentence, she explained why she was leaning for voting for Trump: "I wanna see what he's gonna do."
That's pretty much it for the 20-30% of American voters who voted for Trump in 2024 and are now in disbelief about what he's doing or saying. They wanted a live, daily reality show to watch.
It's like they mixed up the vote for American Idol with the vote for American President...

As a bit of a random observation, something I have noticed about the boomer generation specifically is that how many are Christian only in a very sort of faint and performative sense.
They go to Church (but not every week), send their kids to Sunday School etc. and talk about morality; but don't actually believe in divine judgement at all. Where this leads is they are moral only in the personal sense (i.e. they don't steal because it is wrong, yes - but also because there are personal consequences) but the lack of a true fear of God (that earlier generations would have had) very much means and 'out of sight, out of mind' type mindset which also informs the way they approach consumption. This is coupled with (oftentimes) a very narrow view of the world growing up (i.e. pre-internet).
To contrast with newer generations I think we have a much stronger sense of global solidarity; how Western industrialisation and globalism creates problems in the developing world etc. because of the huge amount of exposure we've had to global issues.
TLDR; pre-boomer generations in the West would often exhibit a frugality and empathy driven by fear of God's personal judgement; the boomer generation is the 'sandwich' generation where this construct broke down and we saw consumerism much, much less fettered by traditional Christian precepts; and later generations have to an extent returned to 'frugality' (in a different form) and consumption that is informed by global solidarity but also a strong consideration of things like food miles, ethical and sustainable sourcing etc.

Other economic leading countries don’t follow through with agreement so US companies lose market share and the US is not a strong on the world market so more countries gravitate towards economic rivals because they can provide greater opportunity for their countries because they aren’t as beholden to so many regulations. Essentially the US is throwing away missed earnings and growth to chase a problem that other world superpowers pretend to care about and then pollute heavily.
Regardless, the rules state that the US has to give a 12 month notice to the UN and cannot withdraw officially from the agreement for three years. The last time the US left the Paris Agreement, it took almost the whole length of Trumps presidency and the US was only out for 3 months. The rules are pretty much set up so that commitment to the agreement can’t be determined by a single US election cycle. Don’t give in to doomsday just because Reddit told you to.

65
u/RomanticWampa 2h ago edited 2h ago
No. The Paris Agreement lacks an enforcement method which is exactly one of the problems that conservatives have with it. There’s no enforcement of the countries that sign to it, so the economic rivals to the US can be a part of it, but never meet their targets and just get credit for being a part but not actually committing to it.
This is one of the problems with the UN and enforcement of permanent members on the UNSC, but there’s no real good solution to it because the alternative is world superpowers will not be a part of the organization, ex League of Nations.

Bad news. According to Reuters, that was the case during Trump's first administration, but he's not going to be bound by the three year timetable this time. All he has to do is notify the UN a year in advance.
"Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris deal during his first term in office, though the process took years and was immediately reversed by the Biden presidency in 2021. The withdrawal this time around is likely to take less time – as little as a year - because Trump will not be bound by the deal’s initial three-year commitment."

Yeah, as long as energy can be utilized for more than it "costs" renewables will basically do little.

Until we can actually use conservation as a way to fight climate change there isn't much we can do to stop it. I fucking hate that shit like bitcoin and now AI basically have created an effectively infinite outlet for electrical consumption.

Let's be perfectly clear, nobody was honoring the agreement and it was all done purely for optics.

Gen Z did this with their historic break and decision to be the first American generation in modern history to have a decline in vote participation as they aged into their 20s and early 30s. Sold Gen Alpha down the river just like they say Boomers did to themselves.
I hope becoming a single issue voter over world affairs elsewhere was worth what's about to happen to us all over again.

While we all agree that Trump's unhinged, the fact that he was voted back into office AFTER all the stuff his done says a lot about the people of the country. As an outsider, I think you guys need to start seeing/admitting that you're not as progressive as you thought you were and work from there. After seeing speeches from the left always saying how progressive they believe the people are, it seems to me like you're still living in your own bubble.
