High inflation caused by tariffs and ICE terrorism, loss of Medicaid benefits, etc.

There won’t be “dozens” of parties in congress or state legislatures, just more independents with little to no party loyalty.

There will be a push by “sensible centrists” to eschew left/right “extremism” and embrace the “Abundance Agenda”, which is a Neoliberal Trojan Horse that dismantles government regulations (like building/zoning codes, labor laws, OSHA, Environmental Impact Studies, FDA regs, etc) in the name of “making government work for the people” but actually just streamlines and enhances corporate profits.

Don’t say you weren’t warned
