I think the far right is a very vocal minority. If the extreme right took the country by force, the economy would be completely wrecked. Like almost instantly. People would pull their money from the stock market in droves. I think there would be a run on banks. The right would be forced to nationalize the financial industry. If they could.
And then there would be blue state protest. The country would be a wasteland very quickly.
I think if we are going down the path to a 1 party rule, it will be the Democratic Party that survives.
I know right now it doesn't seem that way. But what the extreme conservatives are doing is not sustainable.
Our economy is doing well. We need to run on a strong economy and Biden's job record at midterms.
In 50 years, Puerto Rico and DC will be states. That will be a change.
