The Attempted Coup by White ISIS & Our Future.

Who knows how this Biden admin is going to be able to rule? I'm assuming he gets in office. Though Trump is throwing the fuel out there, nothing seems to be catching, but one can never rule it out entirely since the dumb really likes to go hard in the paint around here. The Georgia elections are going to be important going forward, but we all have to understand, win or lose, the struggle shall continue. First, Biden (and who knows how he'll decide to go about this or whether he will decide to break norms) is going to have to figure out a way to open the spending spigots. Otherwise, if we basically have "spend like no tomorrow" with a GOP President and "oh no deficits" for Dem Presidents, this nation will continue its slow decline into both irrelevancy and possible complete collapse. Yeah, I know, 250,000 dead and counting...we really are a failed state in many parts of the country, but not all of it just yet. 
So domestically Covid and the Economy. Will the GOP decide that election politics matter more than the country? I'm betting that they are. So Biden either breaks norms to spend (rebuild, counter covid get green) or his and most dems are out of power for even longer. 
The other issue domestically is the fascists at home. For example this story. 
Born in 1966 in the Philippines, to a U.S. citizen father who was serving in the Navy and a Filipina mother, Bowman moved to the U.S. with her parents as an adolescent. “I always thought that I was a citizen of the United States,” Bowman said. She has two U.S. citizen children and is married to a U.S. citizen, whom she is separated from.
Yep, part of the Trump (yeah some started by Obama, but Trump has deported thousands of citizens while Obama did a handful so not comparable) era is that we find out our neighbors and fellow Americans are wearing masks of fascists. Overnight, basically. So when brown people who are citizens are deported by the thousands or tens of thousands (much like the Nazi regime did at the start of their "testing" to see how far Germans would let them go) without much ado. [1]
We have the attempted feticide by the right who want women to die for existing, and perhaps when that comes to a head, everyone will have to protest like the women in Poland. 
Overseas we have the issue of increasing international cooperation for pandemics (more will come because of the anthroprocene and Climate change) and Climate Change. It appears both dems and GOPers are enjoying bashing China when it's the elites who are at fault for any wrecking of the economy (GOPers mainly). But we have to work with China to deal with Climate change. And nukes (though Russia figures larger in that equation). 
So a lot of work coming up, at least for those with a brain. What do you see as being important in the next few years?
[1] Numbers show that Obama did deport more people. But Trump's methods are crueler and more racist as their aim is to carry out ethnic cleansing as you can see with a citizen being deported in that story.
