I don't know if Shapiro will win the 2028 Democratic nomination. I suspect that the pattern will be like in 2008, 2016, and 2020: Whoever wins over South Carolina blacks will win the Democratic nomination. Will a smart Jewish nerd actually appeal to blacks?

"-There is a further rise of nationalism in Europe, with nationalists taking power in several European nations, including the AFD in Germany."

Seems like a grand moderate left-moderate right coalition in Germany is much more likely, no?

BTW, what happens politically in Israel? After the end of the war in Gaza, do the Israeli right once again try aggressively pushing for judicial reform and the repeal of the Grandchild Clause of Israel's Law of Return?

The corrupt system parties will probably be able to cobble a coalition but AfD will

likely accomplish their best electoral results ever becoming the largest opposition party in the process.

On domestic issues I do not see The GOP cutting the social safety net too much as America is in inexorable economic and social decline and growing numbers of Americans are homeless or dependent on social security, disability, and food stamps. MAGA base are displaced white poor and working classes fucked over by the last two generations of neoliberal economics, with declining wages and standard of living. If the GOP answer is warned-over Reaganism it will pay a heavy price in the midterms. Austerity policies will doom the GOP.

In 2025, we’re making femdom great again. It’s the whole reason George Washington and all them threw the British out in the first place, who were opposed to this particular kink (and still are, apparently). The stuff about tea taxes and no representation or whatever was a minor concern and conned, retroactively. Can’t allow the Germans and the Japanese to keep winning on this measure.

I don’t believe Iran will fall so quickly or easily. You’re probably right about Ukraine though would personally like to see the destruction of The Kiev Regime.
