"We won't return to 2016's level of progress until the 2030's"

[The_Doctor]

I assume the 2020s will be basically the Democrats ramming through policy after policy on the backs of Trump/Pence's GOP coalition failing to sustain itself past 2022 or give 45% of the country a reason to vote for them (40% post-major crisis of some kind). So, sure, yeah, the 2020s will be a massive course reversal of the Trump/Pence era. It's not going to be a "moderate Democratic" era.  

The era since 2008 has been OK but for most people, wage growth has been stagnant, opportunities limited, and a ton of "middling" jobs been available and the list goes on and on. We've started turning the corner a bit but probably the country needs some fundamental reform.  

And we have some serious problems coming up in the T/P era.
