Trump basically hijacked the GOP, and I don't see any who can replace him as his 2nd term ends. We'll see, maybe Vance will shine. Democrats became the Party of billionaires by handing out trillions in corporate welfare, they are Will Streets' employees now, and they have a large core base of halfwits and stoners who are easily played. Doesn't look good for populists, labor, and small business after Trump leaves the scene in 4 years. Red China is rapidly taking over our crop lands and already infiltrated all our universities and tech labs. We will probably be used as lab rats in another bio-weapon experiment again soon. Trump can only delay some of the tide, but not all of it; the margin of votes in the Senate and Congress is tiny and easily bought, as we saw with Biden's IRA passage and all the pork forked over to Republicans who were leaving office.
And yet, as with most powerful late Republics, enough money and power is on the line -- with global rule at stake, unsolvable demographic problems, and declining resources and food supplies, you can rest assured that there will be several contenders for Ultimate Power.
99% of people will sit around and wring their hands: 'Somebody, do something!' Somebody usually does.
Water, Virtual Water (transported as foodstuffs, clothing, and similar hydrocarbons), Oil required for transport. The shape of the game sometimes determines the shape of the outcome, like the problem of getting Egyptian grain loaded in boats and delivered to the Roman core homelands ('supply chain').
Welcome to Egypt.
