My brain thinks about three things when I read about what’s happening.
1. Can the next administration fix everything. Can they undo all of the crazy things happening.
2. Will we get into a civil war situation. Just watch the movie. It’s real possibility at any moment.
3. Some of the executive orders directly hurt the people in the fly over states and other southern areas. Will they finally see the person they elected cares nothing about them?
1. No, the next administration cannot fix everything. A lot of what's being destroyed took decades to create. The loss in international credibility is permanent; the administration after that could well be exactly like this one.
2. We probably won't get into a civil war. I'd say the probability is no more than 5%. That's a bit like saying "There's a 5% chance that I'll into a traffic accident today, and I like those odds".
3. No, they will not change their minds. They will see any negative outcomes as the fault of their political and international opponents, and evidence that they need to do the same things harder.
