Safe prediction
Both sides will continue to make up their own meanings for words like socialist, communist, Marxist, fascist, Nazi, fair, rights, privilege, etc.
Biden makes several even more embarrassing gaffs as he enters deeper into senility. (Big ones)
Not so safe
1) At least one light blue state will push back a bit on CRT. Note this does not mean eliminate, but it will be restricted and likely something along the lines of limiting exposure pre age 18.
2) OH WI PA FL continue to drift red. GA ends up showing the strongest drift blue. TX slows down its drift blue due to Hispanics drifting red. Note overall TX will continue to drift slowly blue. 2022 and 2024 are the last red years for GA which will be purple by 2026. AZ NV drift blue continues at a slow pace.
3) The AGW crowd embarrass themselves somehow with another carbon spewing meet up somewhere involving private jets and megayachts.
4) GOP picks up House. +25. Takes senate at 51. One sort of shock Dem loss in a light blue state for senate.
5) Supply chain problems largely resolve in some areas and remain in others. Inexplicably in some areas.
6) GOP finds the law giving third parties standing in abortion cases bites them in the butt as blue states do the same for left of center groups pushing left of center policies.
7) SCOTUS overturns Roe V Wade. Blunts the red wave (via suburban females) a bit but the wave still hits.
8) Hard blue and hard red states act more (double down) and more hard blue and hard red. Pushing policies that will not sit well with well with moderates and those in the opposed party.
9) GOP makes small gains in suburban Southern and Western blacks. Note still deep blue but dropping well below the 90% mark.
10) Harris makes fewer gaffs. This does not mean good. just less bad.
11) GOP makes noise about enforcing anti trust laws but the true elite pull hard on the leash and a couple half measures are the extent.
12) Tesla continues to make gains but loses a bit of its luster for its hideous business practices as Toyota Honda Ford GM Nissan etc up their game in a big way and with a much friendlier (less awful) customer service business model for EVs. Note start of a trend not a completion of one. Tesla still leads but are an awful AWFUL company to deal with and this will just start to cost them.
13) The true elite get more and more brazen in crushing the middle and lower classes financially. IE buying housing en masse, antitrust, monopoly, SCOTUS decisions re corporate rights etc.
14) Reddit stays left of center but cracks down hard on groups that are against the interests of the true elite. Like Wall Street Bets.
15) Edit: Certain blue states with the most restrictive measures see an increase of outmigration as some right of center votes "Just cant take it any more." There will be a strong correlation between the severity of the restrictions and the amount. So far, NY and CA seem to lead this one.

People are currently moving from everywhere to the Sun Belt and Idaho. The next sharp increase in energy prices changes that trend to more moderate climates with less need for air condtioning and heating.
You're probably right. After all, democrats whined a whole 4 years after Trump was elected for the same reason. They even had a sham investigation to convince themselves they really were on to something.
Life will continue to go on as it has. Some people will get sick, some people will die. Most people will just go on living the way they are today, whatever that looks like.
People will still whine and cry and pitch a fit over who is sitting in the White House, even though it really has no impact on anyone's day to day life.
I only have one prediction for 2022, and it will involve the entire world.
The first "real" sign of Christ's return to earth will happen in September, and all people of the earth will panic.
The people all over the planet will fear the signs of the "four horsemen."
truth. and sadly the people who make decisions at the voting booth have no idea as to why. the answer is more democrats to them. then everything will be perfect.
The Democrats are obviously in office now and inflation is running rampant. When people feel it in their pockets they inevitably blame who’s in office. 2022 is going to be interesting
1) Inflation will continue, maybe slow down a bit if Build Back Broke doesn't pass
2) Rates will rise and along with it we could see a sluggish stock market or even a correction
3) Democrats will turn increasingly desperate to hold on to power as they realize their looming losses. Expect more COVID "variants" to show up, justifying vote by mail in blue states.
4) Despite their best authoritarian efforts and some cheating here and there, Dems will still lose by a small margin. I predict Republicans gain +20 seats in the house, +1 in the Senate. Just enough to give them a slim majority.
5) Trump makes an announcement on running in 2024, causing a political earthquake (whatever his decision)
6) Some natural disaster will happen as they do every year. The climate crazies will of course blame your gas stove and beef.
1) Biden will resign by Easter making Kamala president.
2) Covid continues to mutate and spread more easily to the point of one million new cases per day in the U.S. but the average daily death will decline due the variants becoming less dangerous. Nonetheless, the blue states will continue their mandates (vaccine passports, masks in public) etc.
3) Inflation rates will hit 40 percent and gas will go up to $10 a gallon in the heavily populated parts of California
What are your predictions?
That's dandy but, at 40% inflation economy collapses.
Pandemic will be done and over by March 2022.
World will split into 5 currency zones.
US will pull out as the world gendarme and will become a local authority.
Ukraine will be split into territories.
Digital currency will be introduced for all.
Taiwan will be reunited with its Motherland.
Israel will start exodus.
