Hmm…. I’m anticipating more of a rejection of what Trump is doing. The tariff based economics, the cutting of services that various people want, the lack of due process, the lack of respect for the constitution, the excess transactional corrupt deals with the elites, the lies… Trump is already backing down in some areas. His desiring to pretend all his ideas are good ones will prove problematic.
Internationally, Putin is loosing, Xi has economic problems, and the Middle East is messy enough that I won’t make predictions.
Again, the greater the trouble in a crisis, the greater the shift in values as it concludes. Trump is creating a lot more demonstrations and more vehement ones than Biden ever did. I get that the people don’t much like either party. They seem to reject either party after giving each a short shot at it. I’d like to see a major shift in values. A better balance between self reliance and trade. More respect for rule of law. A greater emphasis on serving the people rather than the elites or corporations. Less prejudice against religions, cultures and racial groups. This will start as we approach the mid terms and take full form after the Democrats take power again in2028 in response to the current administration’s unpopularity. We saw independence, lack of slavery, regulation of the economy and containment after the prior crises. Something similar?
Every four score and seven years, a new birth of freedom.
One interesting editorial by CNN has the younger Democrats rejecting the old leadership and do nothing policies. It hasn’t gone far yet, but we’ll have to keep watch.
