Americans with morals despise the modern Right. Basically, the modern Right's worship of Trump has become anathema to Americans who remember what it was like to serve and protect:
I don’t disagree but as pointed out, people are already starting to get laid off because of it. I heard first hand about a heccin’ ceo excited to no longer need to fill vacancies. People will learn the hard way but until then, business leadership is excited to start laying off accountants, analysts, engineers, etc. so they book extra profits for themselves. These next years are going to get very interesting.
The fact that Microsoft of all people started off with these mass AI-related layoffs (I'm sure they weren't the first, but this was the first public instance of a massive layoff now that they can replace these people with AI) goes to show that even the most secure places to work are not immune to AI-related layoffs. Microsoft is probably the biggest software company on the world, and yet they had no problems laying off thousands of people who probably studied and worked hard to get there, just because they thought AI could pick up the slack. If a big firm like Microsoft ain't safe from such layoffs, smaller companies are definitely not safe, either.
Maybe I’m just old but I’ve seen Republican grifts now for 25+ years and MAGA doesn’t really faze me. I saw the Rush Limbaugh groupies of the 90s, the “I’d rather have a beer with Dubya than John Kerry” fags of the 2000s, the teabaggers of the late 2000s/early 2010s, the pseudolibertarians of the 2010s, and now maga. There will be a new grift for the change in direction of the GOP. When Vance gets annihilated, that’ll be the end of MAGA and something will be there to take its place.
I grew up as part of the Dubya-era Religious Right, and ironically enough, I prefer that version of the Right compared to what we have now. We had people from different races along with whites, we wanted to keep America safe from terrorism and keep it strong, and we debated with atheists whenever they blasphemed against our Faith. If the Right stopped changing and stayed at that level, I'd still be a part of it. The only thing I'd roll back are those over-concerned censors who whined about movies and video games, whom the clergy saw as superstitious morons. I knew some priests who were big fans of fantasy and sci-fi stories and comics. The bishops gave the OK signal for Catholic parents to let their kids read the Harry Potter books, which many religious censors despised due to their magic-centered story.
The new version of the Right that emerges in the future is going to have to ditch the racial aspect of MAGA and embrace the brown-skinned peoples. Not only is racism not popular among most whites (who recognize the heat it brings on them from other races) but it cuts the Right off from enlisting brown and yellow-skinned people into the coalition, most of whom still breed, and do not agree with the values of the Left.
The New Right in 10-20 years from now is probably going to be some Reaganite, "family values" shit relying on Muslims, Jews, Latinos, Africans, and Asians who still breed, led by some Christian White ethnicities who also breed, (think Slavs, Irish, and Italians, or hillbilly Anglos) and they would use religion as a common thread to promote similar values and create a common cause.
Appealing to religion has never failed. Especially since people on both sides respect religion. Some of Trump's strongest followers are TradCaths, new Orthodox, and dyed-in-the-wool Evangelicals, and some of the biggest members of the Left are also Christians, mostly mainline Catholics and Orthodox, or old-school Protestants, who are more oriented towards charity. (the new Pope is one of the latter) The only people making religion cringe right now are the censor-happy puritans who are acting like feminist SJWs for the Right, calling for the censorship of explicit materials, but having such censor-happy morons didn't lead to the Left collapsing, so I think the Right will survive them as well. If Pornhub goes down, for instance, there'll be a lot of whining and bitching, but they will eventually get over it.
