A commercial incentive?

If you want to commercialize solving the ills of society, you end up with death camps as being simply the end result of efficiency.

If you want to solve the problems of various demographics rather then viewing them as gender-specific instances in order to benefit the whole of society you get, among other benefits, a lot less genocide.

I had a broken clock once.

I lost it when everything burned to the ground during a preventable wildfire that was mismanaged and allowed to grow unchecked until it consumed everything...

If you work backwards from extinction, through the collapse of the biosphere, to the fall of our civilization...

... I mean really, what kind of government would you expect to be in power to preside over that?

Wow. Like a zen koan.

If a tree applies bronzer in the forest, and no one is around, does it still embezzle?

How, the fuck, is this "bizarre?"

He's a sundowning, semi-literate, demented, narcissistic, dysphagic, self-obsessed asshat who has NEVER been able to focus on anything that isn't a Fox News segment about himself.

Had he somehow read a passable 500-word speech from a teleprompter, that would have been "bizarre"

The only way this could have been more standardized would have been a rambling mention of Hannibal Lector, blaming Hillary for something, and then dancing to YMCA.

Screwed over by the world's richest man?

Yeah, well so was the rest of the nation...

Quick everyone! Rally behind the fat guy wearing the tac-vest! He will waddle his way towards our mutual freedom...

Oh crap, here come the stealth bombers, that Boston dynamics robot dog with a shotgun strapped to it's back, rodan the flying monster, and whatever else a .7 trillion annual defense budget will buy.

The 2nd amendment was written with a feather...

An idiot is stripping us of our rights.

Yeah mate, We aren't laughing...

That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....

Yeah, they don't really seem overly concerned with maintaining electoral majorites. Or the vote. Or the rule of law. Or the Constitution, etc...

We destroy capitalism or capitalism (finishes) destroying us. Appear to be the only two options available.

Boring, slow incremental progress is great. Not ideal, but great.

However, a two-party system where one party is ALWAYS a single lost election from the advent or fascism is a democracy too brittle to survive.
