The assertions in the article are the same baseless assertions of an inevitable collapse that have been cited time and time again both before and after Trump’s presidency. They weren’t right about the predictions then, and aren’t right about the predictions now. It’s the same as any doomsday prophet pushing the year back once again. This expert will be analyzing our red flags 20 years from now. Once 2025 hits, the new right-wing coup alarm will sound in 2030. Then 2035. Then 2040. So on.

The USA is tribalistic, has high wealth inequality and poor labor conditions. Like throughout our entire history. We are in a state of stagflation as we have been in the past. We are not in a civil war. I’ll take speculation about a right-wing coup or an economic meltdown seriously when we hit that point.

Technically, doomsday speculation has to be right if you do it long enough.

They are whatever you want them to be. The terms are relative and lack nuance.

A conservative will call a liberal a leftist, and a liberal will assert that a conservative is “on the right”. People will say that a fascist is “on the right” and also a libertarian is “on the right”. People will say they are “to the left on economic issues, but to the right on social issues”. All of these takes lack real nuance because they tell you basically nothing about the person you are speaking to, unless you already know what they mean by their version of left vs. right.

The 2d polcomp is a meme anyway and nobody should use it for serious discussion.

Maybe but I can’t really see a profitable reason to do so.

Pointless assertions of a doomed future, nothing more than an attempt by media to maintain viewership by hitting your adrenal glands.

Clickbait.
