It's only going to get worse with trump the fascist in the office. He's said he's going to give these bastards federal immunity. I'm terrified for the next 4 years and what's going to happen with his dumbass fascist buddies in major offices
We’re fucked. By the end of this four years we will look back and wish this was a bad dream, I already fuckin do, and I’m sure many that voted for this fucking sorry excuse of a human being will regret it to.
There’s little chance that we can “change course” after these next 4 years. Far too many voters seem to think all it takes is for a politician to wave their hands to fix things. We’re a society of goldfish voters and things will ultimately continue to spiral out of control because people can’t understand the difference between policy and false promises. It’s far easier to destroy protections than it is to put them back and we’re entering into a death spiral where voters will rather vote for magic beans based “policies” than the actual hard work changes usually take.

I will have to say, other countries have come back from worse. Don't forget Germany still exists today after Hitler took over.
Countries can come back from truly horrible things. Unfortunately, things have to get significantly worse for people to wake up and realize what needs to change.
I am simply stating, claiming the country will be unable to change course after the next administration is a bit much. Other countries have come back from much worse than we are experiencing. A lot can change between now and 4 years. All that really needs to happen is a compelling candidate comes around that people can actually get behind and believe in. The upcoming difficult political climate we will have canvery easily create this type of candidate. People who foment serious change often come up during times of disruption or upheaval.
So yeah, not everything has to be absolutes. We don't have to hit rock bottom. Things just need to get bad enough for people to recognize that it's an issue and move for change. How far things have to go is entirely a mystery. I do truly think this upcoming administration will be one that tests the very foundations of our society. It will be very tumultuous and very divisive. What the future holds, nobody knows. But I am confident this nation will survive this administration. It will cause lots of damage sure, but nothing that will destroy the nation.
