So when things are grim in 2028 what’s the plan for the election? Blame Obama?

  >what’s the plan for the election? Boogeyman. It's always a boogeyman. Recently, we've had transgendered people, antifa, DEI, migrants, and sleepy joe. As the acute impact wears off they switch to something else based on A-B testing of which generates the most fear. It'll be something, but what? Honestly my bet is on black people. They're going to go full-on racist. We'll probably see shit about phrenology, genetics, and degeneracy with the historically successful (to their target audience) descriptors of vermin and leeches. All of this bullshit to lower taxes for billionaires and enable their successionist libertarian microstate fantasies.

    It's going to be all of the above and they'll probably start talking about AOC's kill list again.

    The remarkable part: it's going to work. It would have worked in 2020, too. It took a full-on global pandemic to stop it, and that only briefly. The formula works, and it keeps on working.

  If we go by prior behavior, blame the Biden administration, blame our trading partners and allies (if we have any left by then), then democratic states, then immigrants, then minorities and the more vulnerable in society… eventually they may turn on their own escape goats. It’s hard to believe a superpower could self-sabotage so throughly.
