    I suspect the idea that there’s a “backsies” button that can be pressed is delusonal. Whatever comes after Trump will not be the neoliberal realism that occupied the 25 years prior to him. I strongly suspect that the idiocy of Trump’s era will give way to less incompetent right wing populism in the west in the 2030s… Maybe that’s what they’re banking on tho…

      Rightwing populism (aka fascism) is incompetent pretty much by nature, though not necessarily as incompetent as Trump’s admin has been.
