Honestly, I’m not worried about it. In fact with all our land and natural resources (talking food and water) I think the U.S. is frankly one of the best places to live in terms of climate change, and IMO that’s a bigger deal.

Politically, you need to understand that very few Americans under the age of, say, 45 are the kinds of right-wing whack jobs who are causing problems for the rest of us. 10 years from now the electorate is going to be overwhelmingly dominated by Millennial and Gen Z voters, who are arguably more progressive/liberal-minded than any generation in history.

We will need to deal with a minority of angry, violent conservatives, and they could cause problems. Like, think of ‘The Troubles’ in Ireland: bombings, shootings. Things like that are already an issue and will likely worsen. But we can deal with that and the more that shit happens the more it will harden the rest of our resolve to build a better society.

I am worried about many things, but not our politics. Oh, and besides, these people who are trashing us - what do they suggest? Move to Europe? Aside from being massively overpopulated and lacking a good resource base on its own, it’s not like they don’t have the same problems with fascism that we do here. In fact in some regards the situation there is even worse politically. No. Stay here and help us make this country a good place to be.

Wow awesome awesome awesome! Thanks so much! This is great.

My older friends are in their 60’s-80’s. I know and love ‘em through my mom

Great questions! Together, we both like board games, classy brunch/dinner gatherings/parties, dancing (occasionally), good TV/movies and juicy gossip with our friend group (we do have friends, but they’re back in her home town in Europe).

I like hiking/walking, video games, history/philosophy, theater (especially Shakespeare) and politics (I’m on the left/liberal side of things, but I don’t judge unless you’re like, really really nuts).

My partner likes fashion, good food, bar-hopping, going to the movies. A lot of more “city activities” which makes it harder for her. I’m very happy to drive down to Concord/Manchester for things like that and I’m quite sure she would be too if she found something she liked.

Oh wow right next door! Mind if I dm you?

Very very good points. I know more or less how I’d make friends in downtown Boston - I’d look for groups, places where people hang out. I guess that’s the sort of stuff I’m asking about here: if people know of things like that. I was looking on meetups and found some cool stuff, but the pickings are of course slim.

Hi! Cool! May I DM you maybe? Lol, not sure what the etiquette is for this sort of thing
