So the fallout from the GOP likely taking the House will be the debt ceiling and government shutdowns.
The investigations will go nowhere. Biden shouldn't take a page out of the Trump playbook and just not cooperate with the investigations but he probably will. Impeachment will likely take place. It will go nowhere. We're likely in for 2 years of simple stasis with midnight deals to raise the debt ceiling and a few weeklong government shutdowns.
A few questions to consider are these:
Do you think the GOP will try to be "for real" this time and shut it all down for 2-3 months? Do you think the debt ceiling will actually not be raised? Chaos is their brand...it's what they promise and, even if they don't, the margin that presumptive Speaker McCarthy (is thats his name) will not be able to simply steamroll the white-nationalist wing of his constituency because it may be 220-230 GOP majority; not the 240-250 they were hoping for.
