Although the new administration is making changes at breakneck speed that is astonishing the now-minority party members, you can be sure they're taking notes. Expect whiplash whenever the power dynamic flips again. More polarization ⏩ more volatility.

Curious where they'll pivot to now that the supposed liberals no longer believe in liberty

Any precedents set now will be used when the other side eventually gains back its power. Not something I look forward too and hope I’ve exited the US by then
Polarization has been increasing for decades. The difference now is that velocity of implementation is also increasing.
This is very true. I think what they’re banking on, in part, is a diminution and cultural transformation of the permanent state. That is, put in place a new deep state.
They'd have to get their shit together, which they don't seem capable of.
Polarization is a byproduct of years of propaganda. This propaganda is so sophisticated feeble minded people can not see it. Polarization is a tool to keep us divided, separated, shifting narrative, shifting control, shifting perception into a direction they control makes them powerful. The left for the last 20 plus years, is not organic swing in the pendulum, when power money and influence control AI to what the TV pumps every day. What else has the machine inverted into the new normal?
That’s fair. But do you really think the Dems have a chance of winning anytime soon unless they can completely hit the reset button?
