1. Environmentalists and Conservationists are needed in a struggle to save our country and world for future generations.

   ***“Reform the Allies—here, now, in America: in our streets and universities, in our states and schools, in our law offices, laboratories, and classrooms. The hour is late, and the fight for our Republic must be joined everywhere at once.”***

   Excerpts:

   Trumpism is… primarily about the acquisition of power — power for its own sake. It is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice.

   It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

2. It is part of a multi-polar crisis (Schmachtenberger). There is no leader, no AI, no religion and no policy to get us out of this *predicament*, with any kind of track record.

3. BoBo is concerned just like Susan Collins.
