I genuinely believe that 2020-21 is a pivotal period of history in the sense that it was a year people and politicians did and advocated for a lot of crazy, overboard, clown stuff for which they quickly forgave themselves but which was neither forgotten nor forgiven by a material portion of the electorate.
And it's going to skew elections for 35+ years to the right. I myself am a former progressive thats fully vaxxed and made $$$$ through covid. But I will probably never vote for a progressive party ever again because of the long-term damage they did to our country. The polls clearly show demographic shifts that make clear many people feel the same, with Gen Z and millennials turning to conservatism younger than previous generations.
The Republicans won the house, the Senate, the presidency. This isn't just about trump. And imo it's not going to be a one term phenomenon or contained to the US.

Took me two minutes to find out that you’ve been saying you’re a former progressive while dunking on progressives and justifying (to… someone… yourself I guess) why you’re a conservative now since you basically became a member.
