The arsehole was quoted:
The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.

So apparently not all is good in broligarchy land. Still it’s more likely he might be suffering some breakdown instead. Relatively poverty stricken people buy expensive convertibles when they have a midlife crises. People like him poop on the internet. Most likely he will be around, for sometime, causing grief
In my imagination I see one or two decades of quiet suffering by many, while the oligarchs move more money from the bottom 90%.
I think the democrats will win big next year, win a presidency 2 years later, and there will be no crackdown on what we see today.
Then there will be even worse by the bros and gop in 2030s.
That’s honestly the most fucked up part…
The “best” realistic outcome we could ever get is that Democrats win and do their usual absofuckinglutly nothing, maintain the status quo, and then the Reich wing swings back and wins big time further strengthening their grip on power. :/
Whatever good happens will not be from a national or state level, but local people finding common cause in thousands of places at the same time.
There are problems holding it back that have no quick or easy fixes. I think in two decades it will be better
