As suggested by Gorfias, I'm making a thread about what I believe will happen during Biden's term as the 46tth President. He originally asked for a supporter. I don't know if I fit the bill. I wanted him to win over Trump, but he was never my candidate. I think most of us in the forum who were leaning towards the left or at least away from Trump didn't peg Biden as who we wanted to lead the country. So I figured I might as well put in my two cents.
My first Prediction is simple. A whole lot of nothing.
The Republican party is now a fringe of it's own entity. The Trump party sits in its path like the very Iceberg that sunk it. They know now they don't need logic, reason, or proof any more a large amount of the cult any more. They are immune to hypocrisy as well. Just as long as it makes the Left upset, they will get backing from the Cult that Remains.
They don't need to look fair, make concessions, or worry if their words will come back to haunt them. It has happened so many times, and they suffered no ill effects.
They can sit like little stone statues in the senate and the blame will go to the Democrats. From the Republicans, to the Independents and the rest of the world who act like it should be easy to reason with zealots.
That combined with the mess left by Trump is going to be a full time job trying to fix. Trying to get police reform will be near impossible. The Senate will just call Law and Order. Small things like Environmental protections might be in Biden's grasp. A lot of companies will cry poor because they can't pour out into our drinking water any more, but I really don't care about them.
I'm sure there are going to be people who complain about the potential ramifications of the economy. I survive safely as an indicated upwards tick on some scale. A booming economy doesn't make me safe from police brutality, underregulated food, or even protects me financially as Trump rolled back protections for Housing Loan Bias to Fiduciary protections.
I think it's going to be deadlocked for a long period of time.
But what people who value numbers over lives don't get is this... I'm so happy with a whole lot of nothing, I can't even tell you.
I've said multiple times that the best case scenario is that the democrats don't win the Senate so they don't give everything they want. For at least two years, of course. We need some time off. We need a president that every week we don't wake up to some sort of tragedy. We need a president who doesn't reach out to the fringes of his support and asks for undying loyalty
In short, after Trump, we need a break. Biden's first half will be that break. I'm great with that.
