We've already gone pretty far backwards.

Public schools in red states are teaching Republican propaganda or MAGA parents are home schooling and using slanted Christian textbooks that teach white supremacy.

Our medical and scientific research has been decimated and will take decades to rebuild. Our elite universities are under attack for not teaching Republican propaganda and hiring only white males.

Our public health has been undermined with anti-vaccine policies leading to more outbreaks of measles and other preventable childhood diseases. The beef industry has been rewarded with recommendations to eat more saturated and trans fats.

Our standing in the world is now close to most hated nation on Earth. Declines in tourism re costing our tourism industry billions.

People cannot afford groceries because of Trump policies favoring higher prices.

We have a Gestapo level police force murdering citizens, attacking legal protesters with impunity, and kidnapping and imprisoning babies and children.

I could go on and on, but you know who has made out like bandits in all this? Trump and his billionaire buddies. War on Americans is profitable.
