Predicting things is really hard. Especially when predicting the future.
(That would be signature worthy on some sites.) Some things are easier to predict than others yes, something in general is typically easier than specifics. This however is easier than predicting the winning lottery numbers. I am just talking the after effect of what already happened and is set in motion. If you push a car down a hill it is likely to go down all the way unless major obstacles change its course. The data is not limited to what today’s weather is. Yet you make your own unfounded prediction.
Trump and the right wing politicians of today are entirely corrupt. Also they are deliberately dismantling many progressive regulatory and enforcement capabilities of this government, not to mention packing the court system with their cronies. The longer they stay in office, the worse their effect will be on the institutions of our government in the long term. So, no. you actually have it backwards in your long term forecast. The sooner we remove him and corrupt right wing congress, the better our future prospects.
“Trump and the right wing politicians of today are entirely corrupt.” Really, all of the right winged politicians are entirely corrupt? Is that-a-fact?
That there is so typical and what makes your two party system so illustrative for what is going on in the US. Extreme, black and white, us vs them. No nuance. At least you didn’t start the sentence with “I feel”, which has become acceptable in the US.
The rest of that quote is illogical. The obvious fact that the sooner they are replaced the better does not make me wrong or backwards in my long term forecast. That’s missing the point.
The main thing you seem to base you brighter future on is the hopes the next potus will be a dem, a savior who will fix it in a few years. Again, Trump is a symptom, replacing him won’t cure american society. It didn’t suddenly get rotten with Trump in charge, nor will it be cured after Trump. Not in 5 years, not in 10 either. Nor will it undo the reputation damage and reduced influence abroad, something of which I doubt you understand the extend. Entire generations grew up with this post WWII image of the great USA, the good guys. To youngsters now it’s perceived somewhat similar as Russia was for us. Dangerous crazy nationalistic folks with guns and nukes who will still be there regardless of which party will provide the next strawman you choose to blame. That’s something that will affect future relationships decades from now. The US is no longer a reliable partner, we have no idea what idiot you might elect next or after that. If someone like Trump can become president there is something very very wrong. As much as some dems complain about it, you still tolerate Trump as a president. See how that worked out for the Germans, which have long been equivalent to nazis even if they didn’t vote for it.
The genie is out of the bottle, and it is not a friendly blue guy granting wishes. It is a monster. The debate will only get harder. Those Trump supporters and even those who regret voting for him still won’t accept a dem president. Republicans will be screaming impeach! as much as dems do now. Just as you won’t accept another gop president as after all they are all entirely corrupt. As many made evident here on RIU for years, both sides, it is entirely acceptable to claim the very opposite of the truth if it suits you. Kind of like how Erdogan operates.
Since you are all, on both sides, guilty of the divisive behavior (and thus the nation got the governement they deserve) you might as well break up and accept the relatively young US had a great run. California is still salvageable. “One nation under God” was bound to fail. Facts and reason are wasted on the religious and we did sent you our worst.
