This dated list just got liked by @Blackentheborg and while fascinating because of how much I have gone to the left in the past two yearsI don't ever actually do Future Lists, and there's really not much to say about this. Its just sort of a nightmare scenario that I literally thought up last night.

President Trump announces at the last possible second in 2020 that he finished the job and America is Great Again. Being as he is he has no interest in being a lame duck and thus resigns, passing the White House and his support in the scrambling Republican Primary to Mike Pence. The Democrats, high on the Blue Wave find themselves in an overly extended, highly messy and massively partisan primary that turns many Americans off, opening the door for "Left Wing Trumps" for years to party, and critically weakening the party. John Kasich potentially creates the same threat on the right but is quickly swamped as he has little support outside of the media. Mike Pence is president for longer then any President besides Franklin Roosevelt as a result. The DNC-DSA Civil War will drag on for years, in America's ever more partisan weakness NATO and NAFTA collapse, Putin wins big until his death in the late 2020s and Global Warming continues to be unchecked by the United States. He's followed up by Ivanka who turns herself and her "Post-Partisan" ticket into Media darlings promising she will be different then her father, which she is, in the most basic and superficial ways, all the while continuing the policies of the last three terms. In the end though the Democrats will, after 16 years out of office return with a compromise ticket that combines the DSA's growing strength with the worst traditional impulses of the Democratic rank and file.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Its funny because things are so much worse now.
