In 3-5 hundred years? Well, politics will of course play a role, in causation, but by then (if there is a "then" then--a distinct consideration) survival on a more fundamenal level will prevail. Might be politics in creating bills and laws to allow civilian hunting of Sandworms, government funding of stillsuits to recycle body wastes, and lowering taxes on private "group suicide" Centers. Tarrifs will be threatened on "'racist' Chinese Soylent White Tofu" production. But the biggest bruhaha will center on the Citizenship of IA entities and/or Deportation to Alpha Centauri Repatriation Camps.
Theme: predicting the future of this country or world is an exercise in imagination, not reason or logic. Given present circumstances.

Looking beyond the question, there may be good reason to assume the human species will be extinct in a few hundred years. It’s doubtful that we would have anything resembling sustainable resources and it’s doubtful humanity will be able to resist nuclear war for three hundred more years. The United States will likely dissolve as a nation far before the end of this century due to; internal political strife, civil war, being conquered by foreign adversaries, diseases, resource depletion, and a host of reasons.
Thanks to the left the usa in 100 years will likely be 30 to 40% white and majority Hispanic Indian middle eastern.
We will be like brazil culturally and economically. There will be an elite class of whites who will keep to themselves in gated communities while the peons live in favelas.
If you don't think this is the future you are simply naive.
We have more black millionaires and billionaires than any other country in the world. Plenty of Asian and Hispanic millionaires as well
You can come here without a degree, start a landscaping, roofing, or plumbing company, and after a few years make more than most doctors. It’s not easy, but it can be done. Plenty of immigrants also go the traditional university route and become very successful.
I don’t get why so many people complain about the US while doing nothing to better themselves, and if you want a more socialist system, you are free to go live in one of them.
I only venture to say this because of the great preponderance of thinking based on dollar signs that show up here, and pretty much everywhere else, with the immediate accompaniment of "Socialism!!" (In strident typing) to explain or refute any and all conversation and dbate. it is this focus, if not massive fixation, on money and power that will affect the future. Science, health, ecology, humanity--all secondary and tertiary. You voted in an unstable dullard because of your belief that his policies (in spite of his record of business atrocities and failures) would make your life richer and more satifying--at the cost of sacrificing deeper more lasting values and human values. You will no doubt continue in this narrow way at all costs: that is what determines the future, sacrificing Science, Health, Education, and the welfare of theplanet * and all its life* --not just your comfort and convenience and shallow views!
Eek! another one o them Socialist/Globalist rants! Get out the label guns, light up the name-calls and stir in the America First condiments!

It’s hilarious that you think THAT’S why Trump won (in convincing fashion, btw).
You guys are so F’n clueless.
Have a great Sunday thinking about THE BAD ORANGE MAN!! LOL

Maybe not extinct but more of a Mad Max world to come.
Trump has deviated from promises to fix everything easily on day #1 to needing 100 years.
“Trump: "You can’t really watch the stock market. If you look at China, they have a hundred year perspective."
That pet phrase of his, "if you look at..." is meant to suggest an empirical viewing and objectivity, but it really means to look at something through his eyes, his view and coloring. Another lucky catchphrase to persuade the persuadable
If human’s exist at all we will be cute/dumb pets of the robots. They’ll be sharing hilarious meme’s about us that we would have no hope of ever comprehending. They’ll probably accelerate our current devolution so we make cuter and cuddlier pets. And we will willingly, stupidly, and dare I say, happily go along with it!
The story here is that this disgusting research is tax funded not that the White House screwed up their list.
The first link you posted has nothing to do with the NIH. That is not an NIH funded piece of work, the author isn't even in the US. Yes its an electronic copy of chapter 68 of 72 in a book in the NIH library of medicine website about menstruation, but there are lots of content in libraries that libraries aren't funding, nor have anything to do with. This is a very strange link to use to make your point.
I have a doctor friend who works at the CDC who literally was forced by the CDC to not publish a study about an infectious disease because the study used the word gender to describe men and women. They could not change the word to sex because the data was already collected, and to change the word to sex in the methods would have been scientific misconduct because the initial survey of patients used the word "gender" so they can't describe the data any differently. This was not political work at all. The trump administration has put out a blanket ban of publishing any study with CDC and other government researchers using the word gender. This important work will now never be known, just because the word gender is in the study. That isn't the media that is literally from a researcher I know personally.
The second link is interesting although a study on the health effects of hormone treatment (often given to trans people) has wide reaching implications for the health of others taking hormones and hormone surpressents for other reasons. Perhaps the media played this a bit one sided, in this case, but the this administration is attacking a much larger branch of science than just stuff related to transgender people.
You have no idea if they are NIH funded. The Wuhan lab in China isn't even in the US. Do you think the NIH wasn't involved in the funding?
Regardless, you've now moved on from saying the studies don't even exist to just saying they aren't happening in America.
The second link is research geared toward pre-pubescent children. At no point should any civilized society be trying to trying transition children.
I agree the administration should be doing a better job of making sure it's cutting what it thinks it's cutting and not just taking a meat cleaver to things.
Its going to take every decent, hard working proud citizen of this country to be vigilant concerning the people who hide under their leftist rocks at these two institutions.

How do you suppose--if it were true--the left "dominates journalism and academia?" Money? Power mongering? Other?

It's 100% true that the left is wildly overrepresented in journalism and academia.
Primarily this occurs for the same reason women "dominate" nursing and early education.
People who tend to be liberal tend to be more interested in these fields.
