Take comfort that things go in cycles. Every time we go too far in one direction, people rebel too far in the other direction.
Personally I’m hopeful this means the Republican Party is due to implode, and will need to rebuild based upon what used to be there fundamental principles of fiscal restraint, strong defense, investment in science, free trade, smaller government, actual family values. I hate supporting a billionaire, but Romney seems like the best example of what a Republican ought to be.
Same for every other country that swung far right int authoritarianism, xenophobia, hatred, corporate shilling, profiting off government
Obamacare was originally modeled on romneycare and look how that went.
