Now you must govern

When you have the presidency, the house and the senate, the politics of grievance will no longer do. Now you have it all and you must deliver and here is where the wheels will fall off the bus. 

This administration's agenda is largely toxic and will hurt a lot of people. Deportations will remove people likely currently helping the economy (California has already said hands off their workers) and tariffs will hurt pocketbooks already strained (no China doesn't pay them). When you factor in the incompetence you will see major gaffes which will most assuredly take the shine off the apple in relatively short order. 

Already there are people regretting their vote and Trump isn't even sworn in with some companies already laying off staff in anticipation of tariffs. When the average Joe doesn't see things improve, Trumpism will start to unravel and likely die off but not before doing some major damage. 

The legacy of the first Trump term was huge tax cut for the wealthy, increasing the national debt and the total bungling of a pandemic but hey who remembers that Trump suggested bleach or shining a light inside the body. What a rocket scientist.

But people are going to be people with all their wonderfully short attention spans. No wonder PT Barnum was successful; he understood humanity.
