It's easy to predict how these next several years are going to go. Despite the Republicans' mid-decade gerrymandering scheme, they're going to lose the House and possibly the Senate. The Democrats will waste the next two years holding hearings and grandstanding in front of the cameras being sure to get some viral quotes out there for the public and media to digest. They'll certainly make impeachments attempts on Trump and possibly Hegseth. Nothing will get accomplished in the meantime.
In 2028, Trump fatigue will have soaked in so much that a Democrat will win the White House, even if it's an incompetent grifter like Newsom. The Democrats will hold the House and probably win the Senate if they didn't already in '26. As usual, they'll misread the room and think they've been given some big mandate by the people to push whatever extreme economic and social nonsense they can imagine on the country. They'll piss off the American people and 2030 will usher in a Republican resurgence who will win back the House and likely the Senate.
By this time the national debt will probably be around $50 trillion with still no end in sight. Health care costs will be out of control because they keep Band-Aiding a gaping wound instead of finding a cure. AI will have supplanted millions of jobs and the same struggles we hear about now will still be the campaign focus, but short of any resolution. The tribalists will continue to play the game and be at each other's throats while they continue to be lambs to the slaughter. The American people will have learned nothing.
