    Right now my mind is at, “it very well could be, but time will tell”.

    Had Trump had the right people in places to make certain decisions, it could have very well ended in 2020 just as much. Well the world did change in a big way near the end of his term, with COVID, how he botched it and how he gave corporate handout after corporate handout which caused the inflation that Biden is being blamed for.

    I’ve been still grasping for ways that the US still can be saved, which there are many, but they hinge on

    1A. Trump going back on many of his worst promises and not doing them, because reneging is his thing, or

    1B. Trump and his team being too incompetent to enact his agenda, or

    1C. The backlash to Trump’s unpopular moves creates disobedience within government, military and writ large, preventing him from enacting his agenda, and

    1. Democracy not being rigged during his tenure, avoiding where elections become just as meaningful as Russia’s or China’s during the 4 years.

    A plurality of Americans gave Trump and Republican facsism basically all the dragon balls of power, so it’s up to him pretty much whether he can use them and the most Americans can do is organize and resist.
