If this happens Dems will win the 2022 mid terms and control everything but presidency and build on the senate majority in 2024 with a Dem in the white house ALA 2008.. You probably shouldn't get what you wish for MAGAs.. You might actually get it

If Trump wins again, democracy won't make it that far. This will be "it" for the USA as a free, democratic society.
If Trump wins 2020....
- More corruption
- More people leaving his administration
- More tell-all books about how inept Trump is
- More world leaders laughing at him behind his back and refusing to deal with him
- Economy goes south from trade wars
- Putin gloating about how he out-maneuvered the great US into electing the worst, most damaging President in history
- More Congressional investigations
- Indictments queued up waiting for Trump to leave office in 2025
- Still no wall
- Moscow Mitch still playing faithful lap dog
-NATO allies pay a lot more, as do Japan and South Korea
-No foreign wars.
-China has to fold
-A brief, cyclical recession at some point, but we come roaring back
-Some attempt at something on healthcare
-A 7-2 Court
-A plausible amount of "the wall" is built, but no sea-to-sea barrier
-Nicki Haley comes back in some capacity (you know where I am going here)
-Massive culture change. A Trump normalization, and people begin to turn their backs on uber-leftists institutions, which have manifestly failed. Perhaps the New York Times goes out of business. Hollywood has to give up on "woke" since they are going broke. Patriotism comes back in style. Younger people start to become interested in America and its true underpinnings. More like the 50s or 80s.
Interesting. My mom said the 80s reminded her of the 50s, at least compared to the prior two decades. We had a similar lifestyle in our youths, separated by an entire generation, while my older siblings were more into the hippie stuff.
Things did calm down a bit after the 60s-70s. We did have that Soviet nuclear "threat" in Reagan years although I never took it seriously, just as the atomic threat in the 50s - duck and cover.
How about that electoral map for '84. That is a nation undivided.
History has a way of repeating, so you never know. I could deal with a calmer, more conservative/traditional tone for a while, because things seem really out of whack right now in our culture. What if we just took a breath and a step back to a little sanity. No one has to lose their rights, just stop the Warren level radicalism.
You are correct about the Nobel Committee. What little credibility they had left vanished when they gave Obama the prize for being the first half black President of the U.S..
Oh it vanished long before then, when they awarded the prize to such peace-loving luminaries as Yasser Arafat, Le Duc Tho (who to his credit recognized the ridiculousness of the situation and declined the prize), Anwar Sadat, and Mikhail Gorbechev (but not to any of the parties who were actually responsible for bringing down the Soviet bloc like Thatcher or Reagan or John Paul II).
Oh, and don't forget Al Gore for his brilliant work on stopping climate change from his 10,000 sqft house that consumes 20 times more energy than the average American household. But to the Nobel Committee's credit, Al Gore hadn't yet accepted 70 million dollars worth of oil money from Qatar in exchange for his TV network that was worth about 48 cents. But who am I kidding, they'd have probably given it to him anyway.
The rise of Jim Jennings. Don junior or Ivanka groomed for succession
Riots and unprecedented whining, worse than 2016 but the left too impotent to sustain outrage
tanks, lots of military firepower at inauguration
more talks with North korea
Trump wins Nobel Peace prize
arms talks with Russia
Prescription drugs, infrastructure, new trade deal to replace nafta
May get three supreme Court appointees
economy up and down
no foreign wars
more young people into populism / nationalist politics
1950s feel to America
The rise of Jim Jennings. Don junior or Ivanka groomed for succession
Jim who? Yes I think Trump will push his kids for succession, but I voters will never go for it
Riots and unprecedented whining, worse than 2016 but the left too impotent to sustain outrage
probably
tanks, lots of military firepower at inauguration
unfortunately
more talks with North korea
probably more fruitless talks
Trump wins Nobel Peace prize
For what? Since the Nobel Prize is awarded by Norwegians, Trump will never win
arms talks with Russia
Good
Prescription drugs, infrastructure, new trade deal to replace nafta
I wish, but that would require the two parties to work together so doubtful
May get three supreme Court appointees
Maybe
economy up and down
For sure
no foreign wars
Hopefully
more young people into populism / nationalist politics
I think populism will soon run it's course
1950s feel to America
You can't turn back the clock (not that we should want to)
It will be celebrated with the same grand American tradition as last time.Vagina hat parades.
