This is so shameful and is only going to get worse in four years.
That all depends on how the powers that be respond.
If the GOP ditches Trump and shakes hands with the Dems and the news media stop their 24/7 fueling of hate and division that might be a start.
Along with $2000 COVID relief checks and some serious healthcare and welfare funding paid for by taxing big tech user data and ending the wars.
What the US (and Europe by extension) need is a new social contract. Mitch is as much resonsible for this as Trump.
If Biden chooses to govern like Obama and doesn't lift up the middle class or whatever you want to call it, he's going to find himself in the exact same bind in 4 years with Trump or another challenger.
And even though people that say that climate, guns, deficits etc. should come first have a point, there's nothing smug Tweets can do from liberals and wank dads when the mob occupies the Capitol.
The other approach is what most of South America and parts of the Middle East did, which is to just seperate the haves from the have nots with walls, checkpoints and compounds so you're not bothered by them anymore.
The problem of course being that once you can't pay to upkeep your security you're fucked when the problems you ignored come home to roost.
