(48,768 posts)26. Our economy will be absolutely decimated
Trump may not last a year, but Democrats can't truly fix things for a few more years (as they've done time and again). Vance will do just as much harm and probably get himself impeached by the Democratic Congress (thank you midterms). We'll be lucky if WWIII hasn't grown into a full nuclear blown conflict by then. So the sooner Democrats take charge and bring order, the better. For everyone.

I think we've crossed the Rubicon. The US has always been an empire, and not afraid to use violence to grow.

There will be time enough at last to read and reflect. (Always carry a spare set of eyeglasses, friends)

Powerful secret cabals, shadow governments, conspiracies of billionaires and oligarchs controlling everything.

I see a potentially much worse problem, and it may be what is motivating these oligarchs...
