Feeling strangely, quietly, a little bit optimistic

Bear with me here.(1) The UK has finally kicked Johnson out, and I anticipate there will soon be disgrace, removal of the whip and removal from the HoC for him, his peculiar rise to fame has become infamy, although I do not underestimate his vanity and self belief. (2) Trump's days are ending too, courtrooms and disgrace beckon, finally for this disgusting charlatan (3) Even the BBC are discussing the negative impact of Brexit, the elephant in the room. Yes, there are very hard times ahead, and I am not ignoring Putin or China, but I am feeling ever so slightly optimistic that I was right; that the immoral Trump and Johnson would get their come uppance, and that Brexit was a huge mistake.

Science and. Economics are pretty progressive and predictable. Politics is not and many/most national decisions are made for political reasons

I agree.
