At this point in time, my most optimistic 50 year future scenario has all of North America being a Balkanized war zone.
America will be a thriving democracy. After the enlightenment period from 2016-2032, where Presidents Cruz and Walker put down the left wing revolution in 2018 and deported 20 million illegals, American companies that went overseas came home. Corporate taxes were eliminated and the 10% across the board income tax with a 5% cap on state taxes and 3% VAT were put into the constitution at the 2021 Constitutional Convention.
Municipal Unions were outlawed and a performance based compensation system was put in place. The fairness doctrine was implemented. Any news in the form of commentary or lies about people in the media was met with multimillion dollar fines. NBC folds and the NY Times is purchased by the Murdoch group.
The Chicago Cubs still haven’t won a world series and Malia Obama’s Senate bill to give the Cubs the ring based on their continued participation is met with laughter. Her husband, Jesse Jackson IV, calls the Senate racist. Rush Limbaugh and Paul Shankman do a 3 hour bit on it.
The world still hasnt burned up yet. The new meme is Global Warming is caused by Global Climate Stability. Realizing that the sun comes up, the sun goes down, it rains, snows and everything in between, Al Gore gives his annual Global Warming speech around the pool at the Fountainblue Hotel in July of 2029. It’s hot out. Gore says, “see, I told you.”. He’s thrown into the pool and 20 lounge chairs follow,
Solar power is now 1.25% of all energy resources. The new Tesla can go 350 miles on a single charge. Except in Winter. Oil is stabilized at 40 dollars a barrel. Clean coal is being mined at record levels after the EPA is shut down in 2021.
The biggest question asked in American schools in 2050 is, “what’s a liberal and when did the Night of the Ivory Tower Purge take place?”
