I thought Nuclear Apocalypse was too cliche

Trump is now talking about giving nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia...a country that floats on an ocean of oil, with endless, open, wind-swept spaces, bathed in sunlight...and they need NUCLEAR power to secure their energy future? On top of that, let's look at their ideology and determine if they have the maturity to handle nuclear technology...they are a THEOCRATIC MONARCHY...they have barbaric and draconian laws, they oppress women, people of -any- sexual orientation...they are, right now, involved in a genocide in Yemen...they take away documentation from immigrants so they can trap them in the country and use them as slaves, etc., etc., you get the point.

Okay, the answer is obvious... and yet, here we are... Trump is still President despite EVERY indication he is dangerously incompetent AT BEST, if not outright opposed to all reason... Okay, that too is obvious... and yet, here we are with CONGRESS able to remove the dangerous idiot... but they are too busy enriching the already absurdly wealthy, preaching endless war, sexually assaulting people, and generally also being dangerously incompetent... Okay, so that is AGAIN no secret... and yet, here we are with a PUBLIC able to put intelligent, capable, people in office... oh wait, they are too busy waging war on imaginary threats and demanding we build impossible solutions to those imaginary threats, reviving white nationalism, voting against basic necessities, endlessly consuming resources, and watching reboots that ruin everyone's childhoods... I've heard of "turtles all the way down," but how did we end up with "dangerous idiots all the way down"?

I don't know how to end this on a positive note, so I'll just say if you're even mildly intelligent, run for office, build your wealth, influence the influential...whatever it takes to get this ship under the control of rational and benevolent forces.
