If Harris wins, the Democrats will learn that they can ignore progressives with relative impunity, and focus on what really matters—maintaining their power and positions;

and with the American people’s (and other peoples’) deference to incumbents, she will either win again in 2028, or fail so badly through incompetence that the GOP wins.

If she wins again in 2028, it will probably be the same-old-same-old as it was in Obama’s 2nd term (e.g. the rise of Islamic State, occupation of parts of Ukraine by Russia, reputed slave auctions in Libya), or Clinton’s 2nd (e. g. bombing Belgrade because he’s not man enough to own up to to his extra-marital affairs).

If Trump wins, the genocide will indeed be worse, though I doubt much worse.

He will end 2028 as an 82 year-old ending his 2nd term.

With decreased vigor, and continued rallies, his underlings will be quite busy with back-stabbing each other, and we might see both Houses go Democrat in 2026—a few months after his 80th birthday.

Presumably J.D. Vance will be the heir apparent, though far less loved than, say, Papa Bush.

Let’s hope his Democrat rival in 2028 is up to it, but if wt:thon isn’t, it will be thons and the party’s fault.

If Orange man wins the swings states, even though in each of those states, the votes for Democrats and 3rd party candidates combined significantly, perhaps greatly, exceeded votes for him, and if Californians stop being such 'fraidy cats and gave, say 15% to 3rd party candidates, resulting in yet again another overwhelming victory for the Democrat US Presidential candidate in California, the bigwigs in the DNC will realize that progressives will be ignored at the party’s peril.
