A Few Random Thoughts:

 The Fall Elections: 

Single issue voters in any political party are a minority. The Majority are always known to vote their wallets. So though inflation is slowed, it is still there and has become a very real issue for "Main Street". Supply chain shortages are still there, though what is short varies month by month. Plenty of toilet paper and sanitizer now, but no baby formula or diesel fuel. Inflation will either still be an issue in November, or the economic collapse it will cause will be the issue. In either case the party that has been in power will be the one that gets blamed. Abortion is not going to bail them out, neither will aiding Ukraine militarily. It also seems Covid will still be a problem, and so they can't even claim victory in that area. Unless there is a sea change, control of Congress is going to return to the Republicans. That gives them two years to actually solve some major economic problems. If they do not, they will lose a lot of their advantage  by 2024. In which case nothing will be accomplished by government and it will continue to lose credibility and support.

Wealth Inequality:

This is an issue both parties refuse to seriously address, mostly because those in control of both are wealthy and intend to remain that way. But if it is not addressed, the USA is going to become increasingly unstable and dangerous. Like with the 1930's, it will probably take a catastrophe and new leadership to turn things around. Or the nation may simply split up.

Population Collapse:

This is already affecting Russia, whose population is starting to decline rapidly, but little to nothing has been done about it. Trashing their economy with the Ukraine War is going to make it even harder for parents to afford children. China, which looks much farther into the future, is already fearing it. They have gone from the one child maximum to a two child - with no results. Judging by the way they have dealt with Covid, they are likely eventually to go to a two child MINIMUM, with severe restrictions on abortion and birth control until that level is reached. The US Government is hoping massive immigration will solve its problem, but that will create other and more severe problems. Most ordinary Americans seem to have stopped thinking in 1970 and see no problem with a massive reduction in population. (The "groceries grow on store shelves" approach). Japan is slowly fading away, becoming a nation of geriatrics. They are not likely to allow much permanent immigration, so will continue to fade away until they become too few and weak to keep people out. Africa, on the other hand, is rapidly heading towards major overpopulation and likely to become a major source of immigrants (welcome or unwelcome) for Europe, Canada and the US.

Climate Change:

The Covid threw a monkey wrench into the plans to convert the world to solar and wind energy. The supply chain failures resulting have made everyone from governments to the homeless much more hesitant about making themselves reliant on long and fragile supply chains, and on other countries. 

People are rejecting the "one world" approach. Countries are dividing themselves into Alliances like NATO, ASEAN, The Urasian Alliance, etc. Neutral Countries are becoming fewer. This process happened before WW1, and in fact caused that war to immediately become a World War. 

Supply chain failures and energy shortfalls are causing the "Green Agenda" pushed by "the sky is falling" panic climate claims onto the back burner.  The world needs energy NOW and wind and solar are not adequate to the task. Electric cars are coming along, but are too grid dependent to be reliable in the face of anarchy and war.

Food:

Supply chain problems, wars, weather disasters, diseases, soil erosion, and climate extremes are likely to make food scarcer, more expensive, and of lower quality in the coming years. This is going to be a nasty shock to those in developed countries who have moved so far away from nature and reality in the last few decades. Gardening will take off, but in itself will not solve the problem. World population will soon peak out, but will be growing for a number of years before that. "Factory farming" will unfortunately be necessary to get us through that time. Government policies like paying farmers not to plant (USA), allowing the building of houses on prime farmland (USA), redistributing farmland into small lots and to non-farmers (South Africa), and enforcing organic farming laws (Sri Lanka) will make matters far worse and bring on the food riots and political instability already occurring in Sri Lanka.
