I agree with all you said, although I would change "...they have declared war on our way of life" to "declared war on life itself, speeding up the Sixth Extinction."
My intuition is that November 2022, the midterms, could be our last election.
VOTE as if it is, and get everyone, especially the young voters, to the polls.
Thank you for your eloquence.
