Well stated and I thoroughly agree. I don't know what's possible either. I see a possible economic downturn as I predicted probably unfolding now over the next couple years, but no big downturn in the 2020s. But that may depend on Democrats retaking power in 2020; otherwise perhaps things may get worse. Republican power would be severely curtailed in the 2022 midterms in that case; Democrats would get enough power in congress to virtually run things. 6th-year midterms are historically unfavorable or disastrous for the party holding the White House. With Trump still in office, it would be a tsunami. But I doubt Trump will last past 2021 if he's re-elected. Meanwhile the climate crisis will get worse, and we have seen nothing yet as far as fires, floods, drought and heat are concerned. And appropo of this thread, gun massacres and violence will continue unabated until the Democrats pass comprehensive gun control including civilian bans on weapons of war. More and more supporters of gun control appear and get active after each massacre.
