2021 the old normal?
Discussion
Looks like America is going to dump Trump. So rather than an American superpower which conducts business on twitter - we could have an Obama like a normal person running the biggest economy on the planet.
Brexit will be over and done. So rather than the constant talk about when/if/how we will leave we can focus on things that won't cause constant division. UK politics has been dominated by it for too long.
Covid vaccine (maybe)... So the new normal becomes the old normal.
No more looney labour - and an opposition party in the UK that don't make you think WTF when they come up on TV. Comrade Corbyn being consigned into the history books as the joke he is.
Am I living in cloud cuckoo land to think that 2021 could be the start of getting back to normal?

Yep back to corruption era
10% for the big guy. Selling uranium paying Iran billions etc.
Just like the fbi,the CIA, the military industrial complex, the media, every university, every media outlet wanted.
Prepare for more war, more corruption, more deals s
t deals with China and COVID mysteriously disappearing, oh and getting his son off crimes like smoking crack as usual while locking black people up for those same crimes.
But you’ve never heard of any of this stuff so you’ll just ignore it as ramblings.

Nothing at all like Obama is on offer.And I think Trump was more likely to end this Corona crap than the Democrats.

Trump will fight for power and there might well be repercussions. These might well affect us due to . . . Brexit will be over and done.

Brexit will not be 'over'. Much will depend on the deals or no deals arranged, but the fall out will be with us for some time. Legislation will take to to filter through and there might well be problem in the HoPs.
There might well be no Corbyn as leader, but to suggest he'll bit in history books rather than making it is premature. Starmer will be making his mark and one way will be to frustrate the tories at every opportunity.
It will all go back to normal, but a new normal. What that will be is anyone's guess. It'll be different, but won't make much difference day to day.
Plus ça change and all that.
We'll be poorer though.

It will be just the start won't it? Talks about negotiations, what's been let through, what we've lost, what costs more (or less), businesses going down the pan. Just because BoJo the Clown doesn't worry about the details, doesn't mean the details will disappear.For those painting a negative picture, while this may be true, I have one question:
What are you, personally, going to do about it?
Because the way I see it, a lot of people are sitting back like benign observers, bemoaning the fact that things aren't going the way they'd like, but not taking any personal responsibility for playing a part in changing them.

These events aren’t actually good or bad for 99.9% of the people complaining.
It’s just our perception of the events that triggers us. The events are just stuff that happens.
If people are triggered by brexit or trump or the EU or the bbc etc then 2021 and 2022 and every other year afterwards will just keep presenting new things to upset them.
The problem isn’t the events, they’re just things that happen, the issue is how we react to them.
Like a wise man once said.

Easy to say that now, quite a different matter to say (or think) it when you're being loaded into a boxcar destined for a "reeducation camp" for badthinkers or being lined up for use as a guinea pig.racezimmer said:

My reply was in answer to a post, and I don't see being honest in my opinions is necessarily negative. What are you, personally, going to do about it?

There is lots of good stuff to come for me and mine in 2021, none of which were specifically mentioned.
As for what I'm doing with regards what I think will happen, I've planned some 'infrastructure' inprovements, including new boiler, kitchen and some other bits. We'll have little essential big spending for a couple of years. I've put off buying a car, despite rumours of a substantial price increase if there's a hard brexit. I might opt for a s/h one - I'm not particularly bothered.
I've joined the local libdems and might do something for local politics as the incumbent tories are spending money like we'll run out of it. Oh, wait, we probably will. National politics? Not much I can do there as I'm in a safe tory seat.
I'll probably go onto forums and moan a bit. I reckon that's always a positive.
May I pleasantly guide you all to this?
