    Know who your conservative neighbors are. When the time comes to make hard decisions about available resources, remember who did this.

    Normal people sounded the alarm for generations while conservatives worked tirelessly to prevent anyone from combatting global heating. Conservatives gleefully did this and should be the first to suffer the hardest consequences of it. Remember who they are as we begin to compete for resources.

      I think you’re confusing your neighbours with a bunch of billionaires, the politicians they buy, and propaganda they churn out. As much as they make you angry, your neighbour could have a tire fire burning in their front yard all day every day their entire life and still not come close to the levels or responsability those hoarding all the power and resources for their own benefit hold.

      And before you try blaming who they vote for, you should really look in to how deeply invested the super rich are in both sides of electoral politics (a theatre they have presented to you to provide an illusion of choice and control).
