If it is 12 to 18 months away it will happen just after the election this winter. That will be fun.

Alternatively timed perfectly to let the Republicans hammer the Democrats if they win all the way until 2024.

I'm pretty convinced the Democrats will be toast as a party by 2030 once they get saddled with imploding the economy by no fault of their own other than bad timing.

The effect of federalizing $3 trillion a year of the economy, raising corporate taxes to far above what Sweden has, and 70% marginal personal tax rates probably won’t be “no fault of their own.”

I'm skeptical they'd be able to accomplish even one of those things.

The comment you’re replying to lists all the things that already happened in 20th century, not some kind of scaremongering about the future.

It was right around 10 years ago when headlines were going around saying "Will the GOP ever win again?"
