The Supreme Court, that's going to be really ugly.
Tax cuts for the rich? Really?
More austerity? A full blown depression? War with Iran?

(35,453 posts)There will be massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Massive de-regulation. A full blown invasion and war in Iran, and deepening economic misery.
In the end, America will be at a major cross road, either sweep in a super-majority of progressives legislatures or officially become a third world nation.

I am a veteran here at DU and I have always said that my opposition to anti-Democratic/anti-Obama rhetoric is not because I drank the Kool-Aid, or because I think anyone is perfect. I oppose this rhetoric because it plays right into the GOP/"conservative" voter suppression play book.
There is a huge difference between Barack Obama and Willard. There is a huge difference between Democrats (even Blue Dogs) and Republicans.

Certainly no chance of a progressive agenda, of course, but probably not a significantly conservative one either.
