There are several things that I did not foresee with Trump II. One is the Latino/black/Asian votes shifting towards Trump while the white vote shifted away from him (albeit in small numbers). I thought it was going to be the opposite.
The other is the rise of gay oligarchs (Thiel, Tim Cook, Bessent, to name a few) walking the halls of power under Trump II. I thought as the boogeyman of the right from the dawn of time, the gays would be among the last to fall, but here we are just 10 years after Obergefell. What power and wealth do to people. The right will of course turn on them as soon as their usefulness runs out.
I learned about America and human nature more in the past 10 years, than the previous five decades combined.
