Honestly, there is absolutely no hope of fixing anything.

Instead you will be gaslit every election by paid propagandists who INSIST that fundamental change is impossible and you should be thankful that things aren't worse. A lot of your fellow citizens will accept this line of thinking and begin repeating it at you, "it's the lesser evil, I don't like it but what choice do we have?"

Fixing climate change? The country can't even get reasonable medical care because of massive corruption.... forget the idea that anyone could muster the resistance to fight against large corporate interests in terms of climate abuse.

​

BUT that doesn't mean you are helpless to do anything. You definitely can prepare for the new world we are headed towards. Being in Maine is a great first start.

After that it becomes about preparing financially and with food and other items to try and make yourself as resilient as possible. When the house of cards finally comes down, at least you will have it easier than others (and it WILL come down, we are 31+ TRILLION in debt right now, with a rapidly devaluing currency.....)

We are fucked, really really fucked. And politically there is absolutely no will to actually address any problems. So, prepare .... this is slow moving train wreck that we have seen happening for decades now.

Some people will prefer to live in denial and just ignore it all, those people freeze to death when the power grids go down in Texas because of "freak cold snaps".
