A question I like to ask is: if nobody does anything differently in a short-term-stable situation, who gets stronger and who gets weaker over the long-term? Ie who benefits or loses from the status quo persisting? Good question to ask about the US right now.

I can’t see any trends here more detailed than slow demographic advantage accruing to Hispanic population. It would be nice to spot micro trends like in banking sector, tech, specific swing states etc. Politics, economics, culture...

The US feels like there’s a lot of energy in fault-lines about to slip, so time-advantaged trends may suddenly accelerate with a jerk, via tipping point-effects. This seems more likely than any coherent attempts at changing equilibriums succeeding anywhere.
