@My Earnest Opinions -
With the Desantis 2024 crowd - I've noticed that these people tend to be fair weather Republicans/conservatives. These are the people who think kiwifarms are actually serial harassers that go after good people and don't want to be seen in the same room (rightfully so) with the cringe right.
Elections as a whole - the more we see Shenanigans the more we will see Dems try to abuse their power. My one concern is that we might push our country to a constitutional crisis and collapse. It's not normal to wait days or even weeks for election results. It's fairly clear red states that have defortified the elections aren't having the issues of waiting days after to know the other guy won with surprise votes. Even with mass migration, something has to give somewhere soon.
Vaccines - the abuse of COVID 19 and the Hysteria around it only made people more distrustful of vaccines as a whole. Vaccines had been one of the best things in helping make the modern world a safe place. Childhood vaccination lowered the death rates from secondary childhood diseases like smallpox, measles, mumps, and diphtheria to record lows/non existence.
It's sad because these (pro soyince) people have said if you don't get the flu vaccine you want granny to die from it. These are how the people exactly responded to COVID.
As for the economy - globalism has gone from the boogyman to a force that is actively dying in the world right now. Until we're back into a more regional/continental/national supply chain system things are going to get worse.
The world politics - China wants to challenge the US for number 1 hedgemone, meanwhile you have too many factions that don't want that like India, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. This is why the US tends to maintain not only bipartisan support in the Pacific but even the more lolbert types can realize that the US is not the aggressor in the Pacific, china is.
When it comes to Russia they won't feel comfortable in their western border until they annex all of Ukraine, the baltics, parts of Poland, parts of Romania, Georgia, and all of Moldova. The war in Ukraine was always going to be inevitable because Ukraine is on the way to two bigger zones one near Crimea and the other near the Carpathian mountains.
They're not saving the west, I jumped off that train before the war in 2022.
Yes the US has been the bad guy in the middle east, but that isn't necessarily the case in eastern Europe or southeast Asia.
