Try paying attention to how a president actually governs and how they've affected material conditions. If you look at it that way, Trump is at worst the level of Obama (who started 5 new wars), and several orders of magnitude less bad than W or Bill Clinton. Remember, Lincoln project wants to invade Iran/Vz/Russia. Fuck those war criminals
The deep state is filled with competing factions, knowing which ones are in power is absolutely crucial in comprehending anything that happens in the context of foreign policy, if nothing more than because some of these factions are more competent than others
Everything's already back to normal
Bruh, what? Have you not been looking at the figures? Tens of millions unemployed? At least 35% of small businesses completely wiped out?
I don't know what happens next, but if you're thinking there's going to be some kind of 2008 style complacency, then I don't think you're reading how badly things are falling apart. This is as bad as the Depression, or worse.
And we're at the beginning of this, not the end. I don't know what happens next, but it sure as shit is not going to be "normal." It already isn't.
The new normal has been established, but now we wear masks, its 2009 2.0 2x, a year from now no one will remember covid even if it's still taking out hundreds a day and biden will be giving a speech about how the "Free Venezuelan Army" will bring democracy back to Venezuela
Six months ago, I would've agreed with you. Things are looking pretty fucking wacky now though. I don't think that's gonna be true at all.
I'll mark my calendar. We'll see what happens.
