Biggest threat to our environment is urban sprawl and cutting our forests down at rapid rates. Look at what white liberals from California and up north are causing in states like Texas, NW Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, etc. once nice small towns are turning into metropolises due to the huge influx of people escaping the politics they voted for

Didn't Clinton balance it and left Bush with a surplus?

I don’t think either Bush left with a balanced budget, much less a surplus. I believe Clinton left with a surplus but that was riding the Dot.Com AND subprime housing bubble that both piped under W. so in my mind his balance was built on lies.
We haven’t had a fiscally responsible president since Andrew Jackson.

He did. One of the first things Bush did after he won was to mail every 1999 tax filer $300. Then he shoved through a tax cut his own Treasury Secretary called reckless, and started a couple of random wars.
Then we elected Obama out of spite at how stupid Dubya was.
Then we elected Trump out of spite at how racist Obama was.
Then a bunch of suburban white women latched onto covid as a way to stay home all day, and here we are: Idiocracy.

It has to be the food we eat.
I can’t imagine any version of the future (or any stable, non-apocalyptic version at least) where we don’t look back on the 1970-2024 evolution of our food supply with anything other than absolute disgust.
With all the various artificial crud we’re jamming into everything we can, we are all functionally participating in the single largest biological experiment in human history. I suspect that experiment will eventually reveal a staggering level of self-harm that will mortify future generations. To the point that they will potentially view us as possessing a moral defect comparable to how we view the moral defectiveness of those who participated in the facilitation of slavery in past generations

Essentially it’s the gullibility of folks missing what the true “big lie” is.
Trump parlayed a caricature of himself created for a reality TV show into a presidential campaign, becoming so enthralled in it that it is what he actually became.
Grown-ups have always realized who and what he is. True Conservatives disdain him because he is unhinged, but they can’t afford to piss off their massive base of Wal Mart Republicans who love him as their champion of dog-whistle wedge issue politics. They hoped that given enough rope he would just hang himself, but the more absurd he became, the more he endeared himself to that base.

The obvious farce that was the 2020 Presidential election.
Looking back it was so obviously concerning, that it practically screamed out for attention.

The fact that nearly everything we package is made of plastics which can be found inside the bloodstream of human infants, on the top of our highest peaks, and our deepest oceans. These plastics will outlive all of us by a thousand years.

Clinton opposed the efforts to balance the budget.
Don’t forget that spending bills originate from the House of Representatives which was under Republican control back then
He very reluctantly signed off on the legislation.

And lest we forget, it was Bill Clinton and his wife who tried to engineer a federal takeover of the health care system — a plan that would have sent the government’s finances into the stratosphere. Tom Delay was right: for Clinton to take credit for the balanced budget is like Chicago Cubs pitcher Steve Trachsel taking credit for delivering the pitch to Mark McGuire that he hit out of the park for his 62nd home run.

Hard to take serious when "threats to democracy" and "envrionmental doomsday scenarios" have been the topic du jour for about a decade now.

That allowing millions of immigrants from the 3rd world turns your country into a 3rd world country.
I think we're going to see the permanent decay of some once great American cities.

Support whom you’d like, but stop insinuating that Trump supporters are all rednecks with the intellect of a child. I voted for Trump in 2016 as a vote against Hillary. I voted for him in 2020 because I thought he did a really good job in his first term, and it was pretty obvious that Biden was incompetent. I’ll vote for him in 2024 because if you’re satisfied with the direction of the country under Biden and Democrats, I can’t comprehend how your mind works.
