The bad news is, yeah, we're all probably going to die, and very soon.
That would be a relief, frankly. To die, be truly dead and out of it all... if you don't believe in a literal afterlife, a plan with no drawbacks. As Khrushchev put it way back when, "the living will envy the dead".
I admit that I sometimes have this thought. It's not about self-harm, it's about being able to escape from the sheer noise of our wannabe dictator.

When Gough Whitlam was overthrown in November 1975 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis), his successor Malcolm Fraser promised to "replace politics with sport on the front page". No wonder he won by a landslide.
A lot of people out there have been yelling for years that Biden/Harris are doomed because they don't "excite" people, but I think it's only a minority who want to live in exciting times.
