Donald Trump is going to stay in power for the rest of his natural life. The Russia scandal won’t sink him, he might even stop the investigations altogether in the coming weeks. Even if he somehow leaves office after two terms, he has already changed the Supreme Court for the next forty years, so any action against right-wing hegemony will be struck down immediately.
Meanwhile, the standard of living is going to plummet hard, as over half of Americans will be living under the poverty line by 2050, most people won’t even live past sixty, and a few dozen extremely rich families will make more money in a couple hours than 300 million combined in their lifetime. We will be worse off than the poorest African countries are today.
And there is nothing we can do about it.
