i have thought from the beginning that trump would be the nom and could very well become president. i still believe that.

but i also believe that there are enough non lunatics that we will survive. we will help each other. call me a hippie, fine. but we will rely on mother earth. those of us who can will go into the woods and grow our food. we will form underground communities with people of all skill types and levels. we will share, we will barter. we will survive. until the climate makes the earth uninhabitable for humans and most life.

then, sadly, the problem will solve itself.
