the chuddier parts of my family have some correct diagnoses ("my boss is as a loving criminal for trying to mess with my hours," "the bank is screwing me over cause I've got not other options," "why's everything so cheap and falls apart, let's make it better here at home I'll pay more") but absolutely horrendous conclusions about those diagnoses that include the wall, free markets etc.

Historians are going to talk about the British Empire and make offhanded remarks about how in its last half century it was actually ruled by one of the colonies

there will be a section of the "american moment" in textbooks akin to the Mongol empire

the accompanying pictures of that section will be map of the fifty states, 9/11, and Donald J. Trump grinning like a loving idiot giving a thumbs up
