7. I expect a hard right turn against all civil rights.

Prices are high and will climb higher. The overall U.S. economy is fragile, and some sectors are going to crash. A lot of family farms are going to be sold to agribusinesses, for instance.

As things get worse, people will look for others to blame. The scapegoating will accelerate.

It's our responsibility to resist the propaganda and mob mentality. No, Israel is not the cause of every problem in the U.S. No, there is not an army of trans women trying to get into our bathrooms. No, gay people aren't demanding special rights (an old one that never goes out of style.) No, Black people and immigrants are not bankrupting the U.S.

Resist. Speak up.
