Honestly, I think we'll have Republican presidents until Texas turns blue.
The Dems have completely lost non-city America and nothing will change that for a long time. MN, WI, MI will go permanently red and that's that for Democratic presidents until Texas flips blue. This is obviously terrible for the nation - to put Trumpists back in charge. We'll have a regular Republican recession, corruption, riots, insurrections, nuclear weapons in Iran and Saudi, trade wars, NATO will break apart, the pax americana will end, etc.
That's what trump brought us.

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) — Some Democrats in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.
The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.
“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”
The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.
Dude - You're a good guy. But you are prone to wild swings and doomsdayiness, depending on the latest article you read.
Relax. Go for a run. What's the worst the can happen (aside from the destruction of the great American experiment and totalitarianism becoming the universally accepted form of government worldwide)?
