Well, that depends on how well we manage to get out from under the shadow of the boomers and bring our ideals to the next generations.

It's too late for that. The last meaningful bill that got passed was Obamacare, and even that was watered down and didn't do much to solve the healthcare crisis.

Whatever government benefits we are holding on to will be gutted in the next four years, and American democracy will be dismantled within the next decade.

Welcome to the final goal of late-stage capitalism: anarcho-capitalism. We'll be paying for our fire departments and police protections before you know it.
