As a "woke" who was not expecting to lose ground, what exactly are you expecting out of this culture-war backlash? Do I have to worry about my openly-trans friends and family getting shoved back into the closet or pushed out of their homes or jobs? Do we have to start being more careful about using the word "polycule" where people can hear? Is abortion access likely to stay reduced?

Abortion and youth transition according to how blue your state and the bluer ones will take people in from the red states, but while declaring you’ll solve [national issue] from your state wins votes, actually spending real resources for out-of-staters doesn’t, and the Supremes nix their legal noncooperation.

Adult transition’ll let the UK go first and see how it goes.

The black/brown alliance won’t hold – you see Hispanics going Republican, you see what’s happening even where they stay Democrats in LA. Blacks’ll still broadly be a lower-middle class aiming at middle-middle stratum, those who made being Black their thing will see diminished returns.

In general, D constituencies will turn on each other, Rs won’t.

I kinda hope the COVID lingerers finally make enough noise the Dems have to publicly slap them down, it’ll be a good chance to put the degreed science professionals in their place as subject experts and agents properly subordinate to politician deciders who specialize in legitimacy and power-balancing, and set limits on the metastatic Clintonian “feel your pain” stuff.

Poly will keep going but as it mainstreams there will be poly bros and they’ll pretty much be what you’d expect.

In other areas where everyone accepts the ‘60s won, drugs are normalized. You know none of them are criminalized anymore in Oregon already?

The generation of teens after Zoomers snap back to independence in time for Gen X rising to power to see themselves in them.

Rs get relatively less churchy, Ds more, though this is all relative to a general decline.

Don’t think we’ll get to hatcheries yet but we will lay the foundations in confronting a world where attempts to raise the birth rate are woefully insufficient even as existing attempts to accommodate society and economy to familyhood are undermined as increasingly sus redistributions of resources and priority to social segments that aren’t even that favored, powerful, or politically decisive
