On the Beach... was important... remains important. Hollywood and Gregory Peck issued the MAD warning, Mutually Assured Destruction, nuclear war had people young and old dreaming off about Australia and New Zealand... as the gentle winds of vacated Seattle blew through blasted darkened empty windows, grey curtains flapping, radiation threatened all life forms.. Hiroshima and Nagasaki haunted, for J. Robert Oppenheimer had suppressed and all others had ignored The Franck Report sent to President Harry S Truman by German ‘25 Nobel in physics that ran The Manhattan Project at The University of Chicago with Enrico Fermi, where they split the first atom under Stagg Field... in horror, Opa Franck dropped theoretical physics for photosynthesis... which he studied for his last 20 years.. as noted by the adoring Edward Teller, Father of the H-bomb - his huge hands banged the Steinway in the window of 5552 South Kenwood, noting that no one has solved photosynthesis, he wrote that Opa Franck would have needed another 20 years, we do not know why the grass grows, and no one knows today why the grass is so troubled in NSW in Australia... human behaviour, plastics, carbon dioxide, warming, plankton threatened, massive drought, heat waves, internal combustion engines, antibiotic misuse and antimicrobial resistance, daily mass killings across the United States ... yes, all signals so liberally ignored... On the Beach no longer plays, Hamas threatens Israel, Hezbollah backed by semi nuclear Iran threatens, backed by thermonuclear Russia and China, and don’t forget client state North Korea, with Japan re-arming... Rachel Maddow feels it, sees it, talks it... and warns all, counsels all... as she writes another book - this one about fascism spreading, racial intolerance hammering, antisemitism exploding, government failing.. Adolf HItler and Mussolini emerging.. with Putin crushing Ukraine.. all the world watching,. And waiting.
I think you have to remember that there are a lot of groups taking action. Not everyone is just holding their breath and waiting for the apocalypse and the rapture. Leave that to the religious zealots. Plugging away is not especially glamorous but it helps. Martin Luther was quoted as saying, “Even if I knew the world was ending tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree.”
I'm sure there are many groups working to prevent Trump from winning... other GOP candidates too. When you mention Martin Luther, you remind me of the nationwide push for civil rights that Dr. King led. I'd like to see nationwide anti-Trump / anti-GOP / anti-lies protests unite all these groups into one pro-democracy push that the media couldn't ignore. The NY Times has an anti-Biden slant. Were there a very visible pro-democracy movement, the NYT would have to report on that!

Indeed.. an apple a day… doctor…. away…
Trees capture carbon + peaches for "free".
