If my predictions are correct (which would be unusual), 2021 will definitely be a year of recovery. For America, 2020 will simply be a horrific year. The economy will continue to plummet, the Covid-19 pandemic will kill over 500,000 by the end of the year, and social unrest will occur with these two (although not as bad as now) Biden will win by a convincing margin (the Atlas takes will be hilarious) and the House will see R’s gain only net 5-7 seats while the Senate is probably 50-50.
2021 will be better simply because 2020 is absolute ****. The economy will very slowly recover, the Covid vaccine will finally be widely distributed in the Spring (ending the disease in America) and a sense of normalcy will return. Many problems will still remain, and the US will need to continue to reform. Socially, expect working from home to remain prevalent as it’s easier for a number of businesses for certain jobs. Expect popular culture to definitely become more even cynical/dark, and a number of minor technological advances.
On a geopolitical level, America will continue to fall in influence, no matter how good our recovery is. 2020 was our one final chance to hold our standing and we blew it.
Although things will seem to be getting better, we will be a far more jaded and pessimistic society as a whole. American optimism (a pretty big part of our culture right now) will certainly change. 2020 will never be forgotten in our minds.
