two aspects

1. The situation I imply is way broader: it includes corporate favoritism, epstein files people not getting cosequences, cricular investment of the hyperscalers, illusion of AI boom where the president is just a cherry on top. Swap the cherries, and next ones will keep doing what current ones showed is possible and brings no consequences. Add money-printing, war which can't be won, debt growth etc etc. So yes, I don't see good way up from this point. Even with completely midterms lost by trump supporters the major block of problems stays on the table.

2. The mid terms may not result in trump weakening. There are number of scenarios where trump's team/supportes keep major control or even expand it (emergency powers, military or federal interference, or good old intimidation).

epstein files people not getting cosequences

France has started a new investigation and will try to extradite Ghislaine Maxwell, since she is a french national and has installed an investigative judge, so maybe some will face consequences.

Formally you're correct. Cudos to France. I think there are also a number of invesitgations started in other european countries. Like Norway or something.

In practice majority of people from the list are americans. The released documents are created by the parts of the american government (we did not see what other organisations know/have) which is literally responsible for enforcing the law. It even have "justice" in their title "Department of Justice". And this is only the visible to us part. They have way more info than they showed... So yeah, no justice is not on the menu today from USA's government.
