Just campaigning on "low taxes" while spending hugely isn't really a solution.

On the one hand, Biden is PROMISING TO FUCK ME TO DEATH WITH TAXES. On the other hand, some smug idiot pumo is telling me my taxes will have to go up anyway under Republicans because reasons.

Hmm. Do I want to definitely get fucked to death or just maybe get fucked to death? THAT'S AN EASY FUCKING QUESTION, MORON

This will all play out exactly how you think it will ;-) ;-)

In no way could it conceivably make sense for me to support Biden tax hikes NOW in order to avoid some speculative consequences at some point in the future.

By far the most potent force in American politics is right wing populism and it caused effectively all of the positive policy changes that we’ve seen over the last ten years. That said, it’s in grave danger of being destroyed in its early childhood by the guy who is undoubtedly the most important figure without whom none of that change would have been possible. But 1) he was very bad at getting things done the last time, especially once he lost the GOP trifecta in 2018, and it seems highly likely he will have at least a Dem house to deal with, 2) he is blatantly self-interested and pre-occupied with using his run for office and 2nd POtUS term as a vehicle to neutralize his risk of prosecution, and that is a recipe for an already suboptimal chief executive to fuck up very badly, see eg Bibi in Israel, 3) as of today right wing populism is stronger inside the GOP than ever before, but the risk is high that it would die with him if he is re-elected and sucks in office and leaves office with very low approval. He will never graciously groom a successor and hand over the reins, and I genuinely believe that decoupling Trump and right wing populism is the best hope for the nation to survive and maintain its status as the most powerful nation on the planet that offers the most opportunity to my kids and their kids. The entire name of the game right now is which party moves on from boomers and gets a younger standard bearer first. Trump losing would greatly increase the odds that right wing populists win that game, and on top of that he’s become a completely untrustworthy lead figure of the movement for all the reasons above.

I also strongly believe that Biden won’t last beyond December 2026 regardless of what else happens even if he wins a huge victory in November. Far more likely is Biden either losing or winning a super close race, which will undermine his legitimacy further and set the Dems up to get massacred in 2026. The opportunity that presents—with Kamala as the default Dem leader—is huge for a massive shift in U.S. politics, it feels very much like what the Dems got in 2006. But not if Trump is still the entire center of gravity of right wing populism. In 2028 Kamala as the presumptive nominee sets the Dems up for a massive internal war and leaves any new right wing populist leader in a perfect position to crush in the POTUSy race and have coattails that would set the table perfectly for a GOP trifecta. Also I am pretty confident that Alito and Roberts will survive until 2028 and Thomas should, too, but by 2031 Alito will be in his 80s and Roberts in his late 70s, so the handoff of the SCOTUS majority is much more likely to be an issue in 2028 v the next for years.
