In light of Scott Morrison's election victory here in Australia, I thought it would be interesting if we shared our thoughts/predictions for politics in the 2020s. What are your predictions for politics and world affairs in the 2020s? Do you think the 2020s will be a conservative or progressive decade overall?
Personally, I think the Early 2020s will be defined by a translation from the right-wing, conservative politics of the Mid-Late 2010s, to a more progressive governance. The Democrats will win the 2020 US Election. I tend to think that the 2020s will generally be a left-orientated decade overall, however the first few years of the decade will be marked by a transition in the political spectrum.

I think it's quite possible that the Labor Party could recover in 2022 federally and 2023 on a NSW/state level. But for better or worse, we've still got a few years of Prime Minister Scott Morrison & Premier Gladys Berejiklian to go...presuming that both will be in their positions for the full term, of course.

At Federal level, I still wouldn’t be surprised if we saw yet another spill and change of leadership at some stage before 2022. Think one Peter Dutton. Imagine Potato Head as our PM. We think Morrison is terrible now...

We think Morrison is terrible now... Let's hope that's something which never happens! It's scary to think that Peter Dutton very well could have been the Prime Minister heading into this year's election. To be honest, I don't think Scott Morrison himself is all that bad. I personally don't agree with his party's policies or his stance on certain issues (e.g climate change), but as a person, I think he is generally more likable than Bill Shorten or Malcolm Turnbull.

I really can’t take to Morrison, sorry. I didn’t mind Turnbull at first but he was ultimately found out to be pathetically weak when he had his shot as leader as he went against his true beliefs just please the extreme right and to cling on to the leadership. He could’ve been a great PM if he had the job years prior. Oh well. I for one will be booking my New Zealand flights if/when Dutton takes leadership of the country.

The world is going through a reactionary-right wing phase while at the same time becoming more anti-capitalistic. I'm hoping by the middle of the next decade the pendulum swings back the other way.

The world is going through a reactionary-right wing phase while at the same time becoming more anti-capitalistic. I'm hoping by the middle of the next decade the pendulum swings back the other way. That's what I would like to see happen as well, but the thing that worries me is that little is being done to suppress the extremist right-wing views which have become entrenched into our society in recent years and our general mind of consciousness is shifting to the right at a rapid rate. The age of social media has meant that people are leading increasingly individualistic lives and are becoming disengaged from others around them. In decades gone by, people would regularly chat and form relationships with their neighbours, speak to strangers face-to-face to solve their problems (rather than speaking to a company technician on the internet who may be living on the other side of the world) and work together to accomplish tasks without the aid of automation or AI technologies. That sense of comradery, which was the backbone of human development for millennia, is diminishing by the day, largely in part due to the accessibility and convenience of social media promoting greater opportunities for people to look after their own selfish needs. Society itself is shifting away from socialistic and communal values, which are qualities that are integral to the political left. Just imagine what society will be like when people can live in their own virtual worlds; obviously that is way down the track, but that is what we are heading towards. Individualism would reign supreme. I can see capitalistic values continuing to fall out of favour, but I think the political right will only gain more traction and significance over the next few decades. The left may achieve short-term gains by coming into power in the next few terms of government. However, it has a huge fight on it's hands if it wants to shape the trajectory of human development long-term.

I'm worried that Trump is going to win again. As terrible as he is, he's overwhelmingly popular because many people see him as a defender of white Christianity in America. There's this perceived mindset that Christianity in America is under attack and needs a savior. The thing is, this mindset is rooted in fiction but almost half of Americans don't see it that way. They see things like the increasingly secular attitudes of younger generations and the legalization of same-sex marriage as being signs of the End Times and the coming persecution against the church. They see the Democratic Party as being inherently anti-Christian. This attitude is dangerous and is against everything America stands for, but this is the culmination of what the Moral Majority, led by the Rev Jerry Falwell, began in the 1980s.
Here's a glimpse into the world of American conservatives. Amazing that in 2019, this is the mindset that is in complete control over the USA.
With that said, by the middle of the decade, our society should shift away from being boomer-focused and should become more Millennial/GenZ focused. This is going to bring about some huge changes. What those changes will look like and whether they will be positive or negative is yet to be seen.

I don’t want the 2020’s to be so liberal to the point where we have gender neutral bathrooms everywhere, late term abortions being legal, raising kids genderless and transgenderism in kids completely normalized. I really wouldn’t want a decade like that.
I wouldn’t have much of a problem if Trump won again in 2020, to be honest.

We seem like the generation that puts LGBTQ people up on a pedestal rather than treating them equally. There’s so many girls at my school that call themselves bisexuals, but I’ve never seen them date the same sex or even talk about a same sex crush. Some of them will even brag about their sexuality and talk trash about men. It’s hard to tell if people are even serious at this point.

I can see what you are saying, but on the other hand, how can we achieve LGBTQ equality if we don't give members of the community the acceptance and attention that they deserve? It might seem like a "trendy" thing at the moment, but I honestly don't see that as being a bad thing. If anything, I think it's great that people are so openly talking about the community and are wanting to embrace it, especially when you consider how backwards LGBTQ acceptance was even just over a decade ago. I can remember kids at my primary school calling things "gay" if they didn't like something and no one at the time had an issue with that. That's interesting. Is it simply because you don't want to see the 2020s becoming too liberal or do you actually agree with his views?

Do you know that having a far-right movement in power that tries to FORCE us back to the 1950s will make all the stuff you don't want happen faster? Take late-term abortions for instance. There wouldn't be such a push for that in liberal states if it wasn't for the strong push for total bans in red states. In terms of transgender issues, it was never a big deal until Christian conservatives started making it a big deal. You've probably been in the restroom with numerous trans people and have not known it.

Do you know Donald Trump is The Father In Heaven(Yahuah or God's Chosen President) ? I am a Malaysian Chinese who was born on 8th December 1997 in Brunei. Democratic is definitely anti-Christian Party.And everyone knows CNN is a fake news period. I used to support Democratic Party in the past(before knowing about the prophecy of Donald Trump) but After knowing about the Prophecy of Donald Trump,I support Republican Party from 2016 till now. I lean more towards Alt-Right more than Alt-Left. I am a real evangelical Christian(Pentecostal/Evangelical Charismatic Christian)

^^^ Jesus is about love and there's NO LOVE from Donald Trump and today's evangelical movement. It's all about unhinged hatred and a moral superiority complex.
The movement in the US to execute LGBT people or at least force them all back into the closet, force women into the home and to be submissive to their husbands, and ban all non-fundamentalist Christian religion from being practiced in the US while forcing a literal interpretation of the Bible into public schools looks a lot more like the Islamic world than anything else.
The 1950s are over and aren't coming back without serious bloodshed. Where in the Bible does it say a Christian moral code should be FORCED on all of society at gunpoint anyways?
