Can you imagine what history will say about Trump, the American people, and these times...?

[kentuck]

...fifty years from now?

Few of us will be around at that time, but I can imagine that history will say that the people of America voted a strong authoritarian leader into the Presidency, twice, and suffered the consequences. They lost many of their freedoms, and families and friends were divided along partisan political lines.

At that time, they were the world's most powerful nation. But, after they lost a couple of wars and went thru another great depression, brought about by the huge drought and economic crash of 2029, the country went into decline. It led to violent groups rising up against the establishment and the rise of bread lines similar to the Great Depression of 100 years previously.

After fifty years, the country will have begun to recover economically and militarily. They will have begun to regain the trust of the allies that they lost during the divided times of the 2020's.

It will be a long arduous journey for the American people.

Just my imagination...

1. It depends on how the Trump disaster ends

If we fix ourselves successfully starting in November, it will be a happy tale.

But the republican party has become totally corrupt and ain't goin' nowhere.

6. And if when history is reviewed whether that reviewer is

a nazi,
a socialist
or an American Neoroyal

2. trump media will return a paen to dear leader.

one alternative:
any prole with history inquiries will be referred to their pastor for reprogramming

two alternative
"maybe we can get this old paper to burn and we can cook these caterpillars for supper

3 alternative
the caterpillars evolve into giant vampire moths and finish our extinction

3. History has been whitewashed before

Depends on how long the truth lockdown lasts. I suspect this is like the 1950s. But Reconstruction was not examined in great depth for many decades.

4. If any justice remains

Today’s GOP will live long in infamy and shame, allowing a sick fuck to run roughshod over the country and especially DC.

If any justice remains.

5. The forces that enabled him remain and are now even wealthier and more powerful.

And our institutions have been corrupted.

I'd love to believe we could just quickly snap back to reality and normalcy and Donnie would just be a painful blip in a long arc of progress.

But sadly, I see us now more in a long decline, as Rome once was, with Donnie more of a Nero, Caligula, and commodus rolled into one rotten, orange heap.

7. Trump does not plan for a future

therefore there's no history to worry about.

9. I wish I could time travel and see the USA 40 years from now.

I chose 40 years since that is how long historians are predicting it will take to un-do what tRump has done to our democracy.
