    2030: Trump wasn’t even that bad. He was mostly all rhetoric.

      By that point, Trump will have been fully recuperated/rehabilitated by the libs and they'll all reminisce and joke about his crazy antics, while a fucking boy from Brazil or some shit is in power.

        They'll finally embrace what we've known all along - he was too fundamentally incompetent to make any valuable differences. But they'll twist it to mean that he wasn't bad because he didn't do anything bad.

        They are definitely going to rehabilitate Trump and will start praising him for something, like they do Bush over his wars.

        "Yeah, I didn't support him back then but Trump was really funny! And he said hateful stuff but at least he didn't always follow up on it. Besides, he was right about calling the protesters looters and thugs, Biden agrees and that's why it's so great that he and Harris pushed to jail them indefinitely and push for life sentences"

        Trump will do the Zorp and the Swish-Swash on Ellen with Michelle Obama and they will laugh and say "Not gonna lie I kind of miss that crazy bastard"

        It'll be when libs are trying to whitewash Senator Ivanka Trump-D in her run for president.

        "It's absolutely appalling that <garbled>'s America forces upon ordinary Americans like me the job of signing off death warrants shipping refugees to gas chambers. At least under Donald Trump, the fascism was merely rhetorical. Now, my hope has been diminished that voting for <garbled> can heal the soul of America."

      I don't even see that happening under a Biden administration. The Biden - Harris agenda is going to be all about reestablishing America's place in the global order and fighting Russian disinformation. Even the most tepid commitment to the most mildly social democratic reforms will be immediately flushed down the toilet once they are in power.

        People keep saying this, but America's empire was declining in the Obama era. It's not as simple as to just increase military spending and put more troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. The military industrial complex is also not a hivemind. It's mostly a handful of capitalists who are calling the shots and have their own agendas at play.

        Biden and Harris are likely going to be too busy and occupied with their problems in the country with the highest unemployment and worst economic conditions since the great depression. It don't matter how high the stock market is. People are unemployed, starving, getting evicted and more than ever, have nothing to lose and are willing to get out in the streets.

        He has made it clear with his staff that they are going to push mass austerity and are just going to escalate the domestic problems in the country. With Harris, they most likely will be pushing some 'tough on crime' bipartisan bill with the GOP to stomp out the protest movement by jailing protesters indefinitely, threatening life sentences and they'll probably try to make protesting illegal all together.

        We're most likely not going to get any real reforms. Biden has made it clear he isn't going to be moved left. He'll end up pushing some shitty COVID relief bill that is just tax credits and it will come at the expense of getting to defund social security or medicaid which he has been wanting to do forever.

    This is accurate, and if I could add anymore, here it is -

    2021: We can't support lockdowns! It's their own fault for being stupid and not wearing masks! Lockdown would hurt the economy, duh you stupid leftists! And The Black Lives Matter protesters are just looters and thugs and need to go home and stop destroying private property. Trump is gone now, racism is defeated! If the government wants to jail them indefinitely and push life sentences on them for mischief charges, I'm all for it! Fuck you leftists!

    2022: it is both RACIST and SEXIST to question Kamala's police endorsement after the 10th police shooting of an unarmed black man this month but y'all ain't ready for that conversation.

    This is mostly accurate, but only if you assume that Biden wins. He won't.
