I know most of us were somewhat aware of this, but I hadn’t heard about it in a while. My cousin couldn’t tell me everything, but after I began talking to him he was surprised that I knew about the situation with the NG still being deployed. He said it’s unprecedented. Normally they would be deployed for 3 days or maybe a week at a time but it’s going on 3 years straight! He was in DC for a few months and since has been elsewhere. I think this may be something way bigger than we realize. Here’s a few interesting links. The very liberal esquire article from 2017 (before Covid was even a thought) made my ears perk explaining how Trump could circumvent the Posse Commitatis Act and convince states to federalize NG units. Did Trump use Covid to his benefit in order to convince some state Governors to federalize their own NG units?? May be worth some digging. If I’m wrong or off base on this please let me know as I do not know all the background info on how the NG operates. Thanks frens.

I entirely agree with you. However, almost everything can be reversed in a day.
Energy: fix it with a pen and reopen the pipelines. Border: Finish the wall. Crime/drugs: Implement the death penalty, as Trump has stated already, for certain crimes. May not be overnight, but if it's swift justice... it'll be fixed. Manufacturing/materials/supply issues/etc: war time powers or whatever, as Trump did with C19 and ventilators and such. Economy implosion: some of that will immediately turn around with energy. Once people feel safe again I think a lot of that'll turn quickly. Economy part 2: all of the evil people's laundered money, use it to pay our tax debt and abolish all taxes. All other revenue will come from countries hostile to ours (Russia/China/etc) in form of retribution + if tariffs.
Good points on all.
