    It’s already happened.

    The trade agreements that were negotiated after the tariffs, and intended to route trade around the US rather than through it, take up to two years to take effect.

    The Big Beautiful Bill’s good provisions were timed to expire after the mid-terms, but expire they will. The pro-billionaire stuff in it will be permanent. This is going to make affordability even worse, which will likely strengthen socialist candidates in the coming years.

    Iran has irrevocably shattered US hegemony by destroying our bases in the Middle East and making the military afraid to rebuild. The US is even, evidently, afraid to park planes in allied European countries now.

    The revolution’s already happened. People just haven’t seen the full effects of it yet, but they will.
