Does anyone find this madness a little exciting? (As in encouraging)

193. Not when there's the chance of all this ending up in war.

I saw a movie yesterday about a guy who makes a machine that tells the future. He sees, in the future, that because a country starts a world war, the U.S. (which has the machine) decides to preemptively attack that country to stop the war, but it in fact starts the world war. Same thing happens with a plague. Whatever they do to stop the plague before it happens instead starts it. And finally, whatever is done to stop nuclear doomsday causes it. Like preemptively invading Iraq after 9/11 caused the Islamic State, people insisting they need to be able to buy guns easily because they need protection against violence have created a society of mass shootings and accidental deaths, the "pro-life" nuts closing down women's health clinics leads to more abortions. A lot of things seem to be like that. I am not optimistic.

And I don't know what people mean when they say the Democratic party must change, transform. If all the current Democrats disappeared and all new people came in to replace them, then they're the establishment and have to do the hard boring work of dealing with society and won't be perfect and everybody will complain, and so it goes.
