Realism is not the same as "Doom and Gloom". We will need to start making difficult choices very soon.
For example,
If global food production falls 50% in 2025 will the next president use his power to restrict grain exports?
Will we default on our export contracts to keep food prices low at home, or will we honor those contracts and ship grain to China? Think carefully before you chose.
Because both choices have huge implications going forward.
We all need to be clear about what's happening so that we can make informed decisions when we vote on leadership. We need to "get real" now, because "shit's about to go down".
