There will be many different perspectives and narratives, but how do you think the general consensus will be like about Trump, conspiracy theories like flat earth, anti-vaxxers, QAnon, and our response to Covid?
Both serious and comedic answers would be appreciated.
The decade where the US stopped being the global hegemon and the rise of China w/ Xi leading the ideological charge
2010s US history will be weird because its kind of just the government failing to deal with the economic and foreign policy blunders we did to ourselves
I agree with your point more than OP’s I think, but at the same time other countries may voluntarily start to follow the lead of the PRC if they hold their current trajectory a bit longer.
Instead of tactical pressure from the Chinese government, it will be implicit pressure to change simply by falling behind the rest of the world, similar to how social democracies formed in Europe on the doorstep of the USSR
“Penultimate”
Historians will lump the 1980s through 2020 together as one time block, called either the neoliberal period or mockingly called “the end of history.”
The covid pandemic gets put into the next block, as the inciting incident for the end of US hegemony and start of the labor rebellions.
(All of the above is like a high school history level of detail. Better histories will talk about all the shit that lead to where we are, instead of just “because pandemic.”)
Ah yes, “the good old days”
I dunno, I was just going to start an aquafarm or something. Kids need their vitamins.
