I read, in another thread, the following statement ...

16. You wanted a discription of the world after. The rest of the world would move on. In the USA

assuming that it was still between Ds and Rs and that it was the Ds that revolt it is easy to tell you what it will look like within the next four years.

Morning after: WH, Senate and House all solidly in control of Rs. They are the winners and NO ONE else is.

Throughout the next 4 years our elderly SCOTUS either die or retire due to old age. Rs replace all with young and radical Rs. They now own the SCOTUS for years to come.

They repeal all safety net programs including ACA, food stamps, housing, education money including school lunches, unemployment, labor laws, the right to unionize, social security, Medicaid and Medicare. Regulations on banks and corporations are repealed.

They privatize most of the government. For profit programs now cost a lot more than government run ones but since most programs have been repealed it is cheaper to run what is left of the government. They do not lower the taxes on the working class.

They increase defense spending and the number of wars but they ignore the needs of returning vets and cut many of their programs. Torture and other bush era methods of war become the norm. They may have to reinstate the draft because they cannot get enough volunteers. It will not include the children of the rich.

They end the right to abortion, birth control etc. Women's rights are rolled back. Civil rights are repealed. Free speech is ended. RW Christianity will become the state religion. Others will be banned.

Immigration will become a not so nice worker program to provide plenty of cheap labor to the country. The idea of citizenship for immigrants will disappear.

And the most important thing they will do is find every way in the books to obstruct voting for those of us who revolted. And they will win another 4 year term.

The fight is over and we have lost.
