With trump being guaranteed to win the 2024 election and it also being likely that the state will be much more violent, what do you think is going to happen in the US over the next few years?

    Same as it ever was, yall had the off ramp in 2016 and 2020 with Bernie and the big elites that actually control politics didn’t bite because it wouldve affected quarterly earnings. There will be no negotiated surrender, no deal like the UK had when it gave up its Empire in exchange for the NHS and a decent standard of living - not like that lasts forever either I guess. The best thing that could’ve been done is a managed decline and coordinated hand-off to China like the UK and US post WW2.

    Well, absent revolution lol. The best thing while maintaining capitalism and a high standard of living would’ve been that.
