But what does this mean?  Possible covers a lot of territory. Put bluntly, are there any economic outcomes that could occur in the next four years that would cause you to revolt against the party in power that you current support? Or is any outcome acceptable if under your team, because you will assume that was all that was possible?

I don't vote based on party; I vote based on policy.  You have a reasonable idea of the policies I support.  If the Democrats were to switch to my preferred policies, while Trump switched to yours, then I'd switch my vote - but then, you'd probably switch your vote too.

I'm less likely to switch parties at this point. I don't trust the Democrats at all at this point. I do feel sorry for the honest Democrats who are going to find themselves being caught up in the middle of a mess that they had nothing do with and relatively no control over politically.

This is not the Republican Party that I knew as a kid, the Democratic Party that had room for liberals. This is a clique devoid of conscience, one that honors power and neglects service. It has morphed into a semi-fascist monstrosity. Politics for the contemporary GOP is about enforcing the will of economic elites and not about serving people outside those elites.
