Trump Post Election News.

Every time you say that, the more annoyed i get. its borderline defeatist.
Brainspace for future consideration appears to be fully occupied by macro-historical wonkery. The cycles that the US has actually experienced within its own history all align quite well with the readily-visible crisis being tackled as "The Crisis" in the next 20-40 years, not fucking 80. As in, "Gen Alpha" aligns with the Civil War to WW2 cycle that the intervening periods posses multiple close parallels to in very important matters of social structure and relative economic conditions that continue through the Cold War to today.

The people will have their vengence.
The point is that you're being an obnoxious ass about always insisting on Trump as Gracchi timescales rather than taking a look at anything of the current age's numerous very significant logistical and institutional differences. As I've noted elsewhere, the current elite are clinging to interventionist cultism rather than degenerating into epicureanism the way Rome was. The backlash would be expected to come sooner from actively and publicly pursuing policy that the damage to the lower classes is far more direct, intentional, and visible.

While I honestly hope your right.

I see them in the long term being just plain fucked, weather their incompetence and dickishness blows up in their face faster is hard to say but we both agree the current managerial elite wont run things forever.
 
GA Gov Kemp even says the dems better have good damn evidence ok the Jan 6th charges for Trump.
He even says this is a distraction from the Rwoublicans beating Biden
 
If they do go ahead and arrest Trump, it's going to be the symbolic tipping point. It's going to spark civil unrest across the entire nation.

The US government would basically announce itself as openly corrupt to the entire world, go after political rivals by weaponizing the justice system that should be completely impartial, and expose that the current leaders at the top are trying to hold onto power through any means necessary (validating the *cough* conspiracy theories *cough* that they fraudulently won the Presidency) like in a dictatorship.

Yeah, I think one or two too many on here take Oswald Spengler’s work as gospel. Eighty is far too pessimistic (and generous) for this lot, so I reckon the current mess will either be mostly sorted by 2050, or be in the process of being sorted out by 2050.

The reason I go with 2050 so often is because this all started unfolding from 1945-1950, so that’s a hundred years of life for a rotten, fundamentally flawed, paradigm.
