A Plan to Outlaw Abortion Everywhere
The year 2022 was a triumphant one for the anti-abortion movement. After half a century, the Supreme Court did what had once seemed impossible when it overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping Americans of the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy.

A Military Loyal to Trump
If Donald Trump wins the next election, he will attempt to turn the men and women of the United States armed forces into praetorians loyal not to the Constitution, but only to him. This project will likely be among his administration's highest priorities. It will not be easy: The overwhelming majority of America's service people are professionals and patriots. I know this from teaching senior officers for 25 years at the Naval War College. As president, Trump came to understand it too, when he found that "his generals” were not, in fact, mere employees of a Trump property.

When Science Becomes a Slogan
The president of the United States cannot control the trajectory of a hurricane, but he can we learned in 2019-force the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to endorse a trajectory that he invented.

America Will Abandon NATO
"I don't give a shit about NATO." Thus did former President Donald Trump once express his feelings about America's oldest and strongest military alliance. Not that this statement, made in the presence of John Bolton, the national security adviser at the time, came as a surprise.

Climate Denial Will Flourish
On the last Saturday before Donald Trump took office, in January 2017, I watched the controlled chaos of a hackathon unfold in a library at the University of Pennsylvania.

What Does the Working Class Really Want?
Vying for the support of a multiracial working-class coalition, neither Democrats nor Republicans are focusing on the crucial question.

THE PSYCHIC TOLL
There were times, during the first two years of the Biden presidency, when I came close to forgetting about it all: the taunts and the provocations; the incitements and the resentments; the disorchestrated reasoning; the verbal incontinence; the press conferences fueled by megalomania, vengeance, and a soupçon of hydroxychloroquine. I forgot, almost, that we'd had a man in the White House who governed by tweet.

THE LEFT CAN'T AFFORD TO GO MAD
The Trump years had a radicalizing effect on the American right. But, let's be honest, they also sent many on the left completely around the bend. Some liberals, particularly upper-middle-class white ones, cracked up because other people couldn't see what was obvious to them: that Trump was a bad candidate and an even worse president.

After decades of gains in public acceptance, the LGBTQ community is confronting a climate in which political leaders are once again calling them weirdos and predators.

CIVIL RIGHTS UNDONE
In late 2020, even as the instigators of insurrection were marshaling their followers to travel to Washington, D.C., another kind of coup-a quieter onewas in the works. On December 21, in one of his departing acts as attorney general, Bill Barr submitted a proposed rule change to the White House. The change would eliminate the venerable standard used by the Justice Department to handle discrimination cases, known as \"disparate impact.\"

A WAR ON BLUE AMERICA
During his term in the White House, Donald Trump governed as a wartime president with blue America, rather than any foreign country, as the adversary. He sought to use national authority to achieve factional ends to impose the priorities of red America onto Democratic-leaning states and cities. The agenda Trump has laid out for a second term makes clear that those bruising and divisive efforts were only preliminary skirmishes.

TRUMP WILL SUPPRESS AMERICAN HISTORY
This past fall, in a small southern foundry, Robert E. Lee's face was placed on a furnace that reached a temperature of more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. As the heat mounted, a haunting orange-red glow appeared across Lee's severed visage, and the cracks that split his bronze cheeks began to look like streams of dark tears beneath his eyes.

THE TRUTH WON'T MATTER
\"I have a gut,\" Donald Trump announced in 2018, \"and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me.\" The president's gut would go on to inform him that climate change is partisan propaganda; that COVID-19 might be cured through the injection of bleach; that any election that fails to produce a Trump victory must be rigged.

EXTREMISTS EMBOLDENED
Until the very end of his presidency, Donald Trump's cultivation of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and other violent far-right groups was usually implicit. He counted on their political support but stopped short of asking them to do anything.

A MAGA JUDICIARY
Thanks to Donald Trump's presidential term, the conservative legal movement has been able to realize some of its wildest dreams: overturning the constitutional right to an abortion, ending affirmative action in college admissions, and potentially making most state-level firearm restrictions presumptively unconstitutional.

After four years of Joe Biden, China's leaders would likely be relieved to have Donald Trump back in the White House.

For all its marvelous creativity, the human imagination often fails when turned to the future. It is blunted, perhaps, by a craving for the familiar.

IS JOURNALISM READY?
The relationship between Donald Trump and the news media has always been a little disingenuous, like a pair of fighters trading insults and throwing air punches at a weigh-in. The hostility is real, but the performance benefits both sides.

WOMEN WILL BE TARGETS
Strange as this might be to say of the only American president found legally liable for sexual abuse, the only leader of the free world accused of dangling a TV gig in front of a porn performer seemingly as an enticement for sex, the only commander in chief to publicly denigrate the sexual attractiveness of both Heidi Klum (\"no longer a 10\") and Angelina Jolie (\"not a great beauty\"), I don't believe Donald Trump hates women. Not by default, anyway. \"When it comes to the women who are not only dutifully but lovingly catering to his desires,\" the philosopher Kate Manne wrote in her 2017 book, Down Girl, \"what's to hate?\"

TRUMP WILL GET AWAY WITH IT
If Donald Trump regains the presidency, he will once again become the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States. There may be no American leader less suited to \"take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,\" as the Constitution directs the president. But that authority comes with the office, including command of the Justice Department and the FBI.

THE SPECTER OF FAMILY SEPARATION
Almost as soon as Donald Trump took office in 2017, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement were dispatched across the country to round up as many undocumented foreigners as possible, and the travel ban put into limbo the livelihoods of thousands of people from majority-Muslim countries who had won the hard-fought right to be here-refugees, tech entrepreneurs, and university professors among them.

LOYALISTS, LAPDOGS, AND CRONIES
When Donald Trump first took office, he put a premium on what he called \"central casting\" hires-people with impressive résumés who matched his image of an ideal administration official. Yes, he brought along his share of Steve Bannons and Michael Flynns. But there was also James Mattis, the decorated four-star general who took over the Defense Department, and Gary Cohn, the Goldman Sachs chief operating officer who was appointed head of the National Economic Council, and Rex Tillerson, who left one of the world's most profitable international conglomerates to become secretary of state.
