I am not a right-winger.
Things that are scary for me right now:
The November presidential election and the rioting that might ensue.
The possibility of the Ukraine and Gaza wars spreading even more resulting in more innocent deaths
More polarity and division in this country
The lack of critical thinking and the resulting effectiveness of misinformation and propaganda in the USA.
The middle class and small businesses are shrinking
The absence of legitimate presidential candidates
Some cities not able to respond to 911 calls in a quick enough manner or not at all.
The possibility of some religious nut case or regime setting off a nuclear weapon as Iran will soon get nukes
The fact a state can effectively put a company out of business because of what amounts to an infraction.
The supreme court overturned Roe vs. Wade and put that power in the states
What I am looking forward to:
AI applications evolving
More sustainable energy sources
The decrease in internal combustion engine production resulting in less dependence on fossil fuels.
Better ways to combat pollution
The decrease in the use of plastics
More nuclear power, less coal
Better food production regulation
The 49ers winning the Super Bowl this year
Conservatives by nature resist change.
Most people working hate change.
Change is certain.
Good post.
Couple thoughts:
Would add bad actors crossing the border as a worry, and these soft on crime DAs continuing to destroy our cities.
As far as division in this country, I'd say it's less than 15% of folks. Most are normal. Division is sowed, and amplfied, by a dishonest media and big tech, and that will only get solved once it's not financially advantageous to be that way.
But you can see another underlying problem - you state well thought out ideas and engage in discussion, so posters like rimjob are automatically going to mislabel you a conservative.
It's like being anti illegal immigration, pro legal, and pro immigration reform.....nope that make's you anti-immigration.
Or like being pro measles vaccine, but anti mRNA.....that makes you an anti-vaxxer....
Dummies like him will always be myopic I guess, but still should be pointed out.
