No.
I'm speaking as a fairly moderate, average American who's been around almost a half century.
I am telling you and anyone who reads this, that this is NOT going back to normal. This is going to get worse. I promise you, you all need to understand this thing I'm about to shout here:
NOBODY IS COMING.
If we want to fix this, we have to do it ourselves. And I have very little allusion that liberal, comfy America and the military is going to dream of upsetting their careful balance and privilege, and they will keep their head down and keep working even as their rights are stripped away and nobody can afford food or water anymore without realizing they're boiled toads.
Buy beans and rice. Save money. Quit expensive habits and get healthy. Update your passport and put some cash and gold aside in case you need to leave and the banks won't give you money. Maintain contact with people outside the USA in case you need contacts somewhere. I am dead-fucking-serious.
