My prediction for America is that the country will drop Trump but the democratic mandate is too weak and fractured to handle the future problems of the country. Too many MAGA people, too many economic problems down the line and a declining empire. Whether a caesar stops this, democracy rebounds and takes it head on or the country eventually fractured and secedes is anyone's guess.

The intellectuals who specialize in this area tend to agree that Trump may be an aberration, but the movement he triggered was coming with or without him.  Almost to a person, they expect this proto-Fascism to continue in some form for a few political cycles at the very least, but they doubt it will be able to rise to power again.  Trump poisoned the water for any follow-on types, his children included.
