I predict some interesting fallout from the Russian issue
I am expecting that an amazing amount of hacking, sock puppet, and conservative funding will disappear. A lot of the American rich with strong ties to Russia are not going to keep funding things that they don't see a profit in.
A lot of Republicans are not the type to do anything without a nice carrot or a sharp stick to guide them. So unless they have compromat, they will be changing their tunes quickly and looking for funding that they used to be able to count on. Even then, if compromat is keeping them in line, they will not have the same access to astroturf and donations for their campaigns.
Expect someone to have their compromat exposed and that someone to fall hard. Expect a few people to fall out of hotel windows or be poisoned by polonium. Moscow will need to show their assets that they cannot just sneak away. Even without Putin, the next Putin, unless there is a real change, will want to maintain the assets he still has.
The mid term elections will be interesting. Suddenly China and Saudi Arabia will be the only strong forces to prop up the Republican Party. I don't think either of them really love Trump, so we may see the Republican Party actually have to survive on donations from the masses and most of their masses would rather give to Trump and Trump does not share well with others.
My prediction is that the Tea Party 2.0 is going to be half Qanon and a quarter Sovereign Citizen, with KKK, Maga remnants and whatever is left filling in the chinks. In other words, we won't be able to tell them from the current Republican Party apart from a few less maga hats.
Their "Brandon" cry will make less and less sense as it alternates with "Her mail," and whatever new cry they come up with in hopes it sticks to the wall.
Beltway pundits will still be beltway pundits though, so the talk will not change that much and those who care about America, decency and progress will still be under constant attacks from lying idiots.
In any case, my prediction is that we will see a strong drop in Republican success at the top. If we can watch the local elections and get out the truth, we might protect towns and communities from electing a few more Qanon idiots, so we need to keep careful watch and try to keep communities from electing monsters.
State elections, I have no clue about, but I am hoping the crash of Republican-Russian investment portfolios expose what we have always known about Republican leadership.
These predictions are mostly good, but as always, watch the skys.
