2019 prediction time:

1. The Left will go full bananas crazy, even more than they have so far. This is the logical end of intersectionality and it will turn on itself like never before. At the same time, it will remain as loud an influential as ever, due to media and academia.
2. A new Conservatism will continue to be built, which will include everyone from some MAGA folks to mainstream conservatives, to libertarians and disaffected liberals. Most of the country is against the authoritarian, PC Mob, but that can only unite for so long. Who leads?
3. The online Platform Wars will be the digital story of 2019. It's time to find out what kind of Internet people want. Will it be free or controlled? Will it give everyone access or boot the free thinkers? Will payment processors crush creators ability to make a living?
4. Many people will check out of the conversation online due to how toxic it has become. This will embolden the mob and put extra responsibility on the shoulders of decent people. Will more regular folks get involved or will they leave their destiny to others?
5. Everything will be framed around the 2020 election. That's why 2019 is so important. Everyone is gonna want the headlines so they can be the "It" person of 2020. Mainstream media will continue to crumble as it feeds this ratings and clicks monster.
6. So, if 2018 was the Year of Unusual Alliances (), then 2019 will be The Year of Partial Sanity. It usually won't feel like it, but there will be tons of people trying to find a better way. And as a wise man once said, Twitter isn't real life.
Bonus: Personal responsibility, cleaning up your room, and not making excuses for your life will actually become cool again this year. Some people will create and others will complain. Which one will you be?
