I mean it is worth considering if there is a way to make America by the people for the people again without an uprising by force. Seems unlikely. Now we're just all waiting for the oligarchs to fuck up the world beyond repair & hope we get our moment, but they'll just leave for space & wait for us to all die.

Colonizing another planet would be a centuries long undertaking. They're not going anywhere.

That sounds about right when Earth will basically become unlivable.. and they may just build a giant space station.

Even with a space station, you have to foster a whole ecosystem if you wanna keep people alive for multiple generations. They're not gonna be able to do that while the ecosystem we've already got is in collapse
