And thus began the second dark age. In the 21st century, the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally. Environmental stewardship gave way to rampant consumption and dirty industry. Women once again became subjugated to property and lost all human rights. Logic and reason was forgotten and replaced with conspiracy theories and superstition. Over the next few centuries tribalism and the decay of modern society played out against the backdrop of now unstoppable climate change, which was largely attributed to superstitious causes by small groups of devolved humans living in filth amongst the ruins of a once great civilization.
This is hyperbolic.
There’s more to the world than the USA. And even during the first Dark Ages, scientific progress didn’t cease globally. Just in Europe.
There was quite a lot of progress in mathematics and science in the Middle East during the so-called Dark Ages.
Of course, it wasn’t meant as an accurate prediction, more an expression of sentiment.
Ha, no its not.
The united states will use its considerable economic power to influence elections and laws globally. It already does it africa.
Europe is next.
