It's only 4 years if we're lucky. If not, this will be a pain that lingers.
I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

Billionaires are the black holes of the sociopolitical universe.
They hunger endlessly.
Their reach extends beyond any imagination.
Most importantly, they cannot be introduced to any existing stable system without inevitably destroying it.

Introduce one to any existing stable system will always result in that system's inevitable destruction.

MAGA is "political meth."
I prefer to think of it as "political fentanyl" because it targets the same audience:
Those who lost their jobs due to technology's inexorable March forward
Those who realized being male and white wasn't enough to make it in life.
Those who needed to live in fantasy.

What Trumpism did was provide a way for deeply unhappy people to spend their time instead of doing anything to change their circumstances
It's like meth in the form of a so-called "political movement"
Some brief kicks, but your teeth will probably fall out because the DHHS Secretary hates fluoride

If I had to prioritize, I'd say Citizens United was the most damaging and dangerous ruling from the Roberts court even over Dobbs and Hobby Lobby. Yes, even over Presidential Immunity.
Citizens United was the first domino to topple, and it fed into all the rest.

Remember, both world wars were acknowledged as such only in hindsight.
During the first years of either war, the uninvolved nations viewed those initial conflicts as "Somebody else's problem."
I think it prudent to consider ourselves at the start of World War Three. As always, you do you.
