1. Trump got the US out of the TPP, which to this economic populist, was amazing. If you think that NAFTA led to the blue collar backlash against the Democratic party that got us to this electoral result, TPP sez, "hold my beer!"
2. Trump bungled the fuck out of his first go round. I expect lots more of the same.
3. There are two other branches of government; we will see how they act. Maybe the Senate Democrats will RtFM section about the "Filibuster" button, especially with Manchin and Sinema gone?
4. Lots of left/center left/progressive media hyperventilation about the potential bad stuff, but only today, after the election did I hear that RFK Jr. thinks that DTC advertising of prescription drugs should be banned, and that SNAP (fka "food stamps") should not be allowed to be spent on (for example) soda. We already regulate what WIC can be used for; why not SNAP? Are there other policies we are not hearing because they don't play as well for clicks? Idk? Yes, I think the guy is misguided on vaccines, horribly so, but post-COVID, we are already in an environment where it is easy to opt out of vaxxing your kid or yourself if you so choose. I dont think RFKJr represents a big change here.
5. Lots of terrible things we were promised during T45 just didn’t happen. The worst, Roe v. Wade, was horrible, yet here in my very red state, we passed an amendment such that, we now have more abortion rights than when RvW was a settled precedent.
So, yes, at this point, Maybe.
But then again, I am not a bed wetter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
