The backlash to these next few years will either be profound or we're fucked

“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

Business in the age of Trump. Sounds liberating.

They’re all for this until it’s used on them. It’s why they turn into whiny babies when they’re called ‘weird’, etc. Like all narcissistic bullies, just throw everything back in their face, do it better, make sure it’s infinitely more painful, and they’ll eventually cower.

"I can't believe the president did this. We just want a more business friendly policy."

Is this what it feels like to be a Whig?

I think and I hope these fuckers have misjudged things

We are about to put “is it better if people are open with their prejudices” to the test

They've hitched their horses to a glue factory and are expecting to ride

The backlash will NEED to be profound, but I just don’t know what the hell it will look like.

Nobody knows right now but it could come

How about both could be true?

A backlash against nastier speech is probably not going to materialize. But one from pursuing traditionally Republican priorities is likely. How it does come about the only relevant factor is how Democrats react, ensure collaboration is harshly punished.

AOC showed that Dems *can* push back, but most Dems are weak, so they need a leader like her to keep them from folding

I think it goes beyond an iron fisted leader to maintain caucus discipline. Democrats, more than Republicans, are institutionalists in disposition.

Both could also be true
