Where do you see America 10 years from now?

Ahh, that makes sense, where I grew up in the Seattle area, social conservative were a hypothetical threat, we'd read about them in the news and hear about their influence in other areas, but we never really had to deal with them locally, all of our local politics was pretty solidly liberal. What really soured me on liberalism was how many people would move here that were essentially refugees from Christian areas, that grew up with social conservatives in their business, but as soon as they moved here and had majority political power, basically turned into the liberal version of Christian conservatives, in everyone's business and trying to control even their personal thoughts in the name of liberalism, without any thought registering that they'd become what they claimed to have hated about where they came from. I owned a business on the edge of Seattle in the late 2010s, it was nasty having to self censor in order to avoid a cancel mob trying to Yelp bomb me or otherwise destroy my livelihood if they found out I didn't have the same beliefs they did, exactly like someone living in a small town dominated by Christian conservatives, which is where many of these people came from. I don't doubt for a minute that had I grown up in an environment similar to yours, I'd have a grudge against Christian conservatives, but since I grew up with their liberal equivalent, I came to the opposite politics, albeit with an added grudge against liberals for their hypocrisy.

Basically we'll wind up being like China, by the same as*holes who claim to be against China. How ironic.

Every thread quickly devolve into a Trump hatefest.

I won't be surprised if our whole system collapses on itself and the Democrats get destroyed while the fascist GQP takes over and puts into power some kind of dictatorship.


And it may or may not be Trump who becomes our next leader. It could be someone younger and more competent at playing politics.

And then a combination of climate change and World War 3 will tear this whole world apart.

You need to think happier thoughts, man! Happier thoughts!

Sadly, that buffoon has done a great deal of damage to the status quo in US and world politics. That and the fact that individuals with certain leanings tend to think he's the second coming of Christ make it really difficult to have a political discussion in this day and age without bringing him up, especially when discussing US politics.

I'm sure that will slowly but surely become less of a problem as more and time passes subsequent to Donald's term in office, but for the time being he's kind of ruined the majority of political discussions anyone can have before we even have them.
