Does it take place before or after the American Civil War II?
What if Congress was populated by intelligent people who weren’t always trying to destroy our country?
But not driving off the climate cliff is driving off the climate cliff.
Furthermore history is littered with climate cliffs - civilizations having to pack up and move to places where the rain falls and the floods don't flood except periodically when you need floods, like the Nile Basin.
Written by quill pen:
“it was really cold today and I have to write fast because I’m out of my candle allotment for the week. It’s hard to sleep when I am so hungry and don’t have any more climate-safe food coupons for the week”
I’m hopeful that we can migrate somewhere warmer. We’re so close to getting the solar panels and batteries to work 25% of the time, but my parents have been sick constantly and could use somewhere warmer to keep them safer.
There’s also been the problem of unemployment, but on the plus side the government is issuing work permits and food coupons in exchange for people digging the mass graves... which is taking care of the burial problem we had.
thank God we saved the earth in time!”
Maybe I’m just overly pessimistic and just basically misogynistic, but I just don’t see AOC learning basic thermodynamics, even if she’s got a couple of decades to do so. But if she can power the future on rainbows and unicorns, maybe she ought to try it out on a small scale first - Venezuela is an option: what have they got to lose?
What if the Soviets hadn’t spent the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s infiltrating our government, our education system and our media?
1917 called, want’s its future back.
What if we drive off the follow the idiots cliff?

Fantasy Island resembled a documentary more than this diatribe. Note that she starts by stating “when we won the presidency and took over the Senate in 2021...”, then goes through her claptrap about “sweeping new changes and legislation.” Finally, a woman takes here seat “in 2028.” Is it a coincidence that this would be the same year that would end the two terms a Dem president would serve if elected in 2020 and reelected in 2024? You tell me.
In the meantime, great fantasy. Too bad that bubble will burst in 2020, IF we can keep the “vote harvesters” out of our ballot counting.
So first of all she lied about riding Amtrac when it was reported before she flies all the time. The New Green Deal backers message to us is: If you don’t have a private jet, own one or more limos, live in the most exclusive neighborhoods in America and don’t have a personal wealth in the millions, kneel at the New Green Deal altar and cut your throat to save the planet for us.

“
AOC is already positioning herself as the leading Presidential candidate in 2024
“You lost an idiot. Please take her back. She’s coco-loco. Thanks, The Future.”
I think the whole Left is illustrated and populated by crabapples.
I just watched the video. I’m now convinced she’s actually dumber than I first thought, which is quite an achievement.
AOC is nuts. A shame she’s allowing her handlers to ruin her.
Kreskin says, “AOC’s future includes lots of bartending. Little else.”
