I mean I would like that timeline, but it has been 8 years now and it is not really closer to coming around. I think we have to figure out how to get to a good future that does not depend on republicans breaking with Trump sadly.

I think it’s a bit closer since the shitty EOs are starting to affect people. Once their full effect is felt we will be really close to the shit hitting the fan.

yeah I think they are starting to do things so drastic now they cannot realistically hold free and fair elections anymore. But we will find out I guess.

Hopefully it won’t escalate into martial law. Then for sure there will be no elections.

My only realistic goal for the next two years is to be alive and that we have free and fair elections next time.

Have we tried to slingshot around the sun yet? =D Maybe go back and fix some stuff?

I hope we can find something more boring that can work, but I personally have no idea what.

We've been in a slingshot holding pattern for a few billion years…

We've been going way slower than the speed of light?

Well, I guess we're gonna have to start working on that then.

Would probably be more efficient to save the whales who are alive right now.
