I've noticed a vibe shift; my theory is that Trump is a radicalizing force (which was the purpose of the so-called No Kings protest, to sheepdog libs back into the party and away from radicalization) and so it should last at least the next few years.

Although if there is a presidential election I'm sure lemmy.world will defederate from lemmy.ml and the libs will have their revenge.

Also! Ukraine is still the one issue that liberals will not budge on and I don't see that changing as Russia racks up victories and the US pulls out of the debacle. I envision a new EU-centered revanchist stabbed-in-the-back myth which sees a need for Europe to reclaim its power from the US and return to its old imperial might to "spread democracy" and "defend human rights".
