They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

I’m really enjoying Neoreaction a Basilisk by @eruditorumpress.com, which is extremely funny when I was prepared to be just in despair, and also about this set of horrible people
Neoreaction a Basilisk
"Do you know that every time you turn another page, you not only get us closer to the monster at the end of this book, but you make a terrible mess?" Grover, The Monster at the End of This Book
Let us assume that we are fucked. The particular nature of our doom is up for any amount of debate, but the basic fact of it seems largely inevitable. My personal guess is that millennials will probably live long enough to see the second Great Depression, which will blur inexorably with the full brunt of climate change to lead to a massive human dieback, if not quite an outright extinction. But maybe it'll just be a rogue AI and a grey goo scenario. You never know.
There are several reactions we might have to this realization, and many of us have more than one. The largest class of these reactions are, if not uninteresting, at least relatively simple, falling under some category of self-delusion or cognitive dissonance. From the perspective of 2017 the eschaton appears to be in exactly the wrong place, such that were either going to just miss it or only
*shitoads of people dying" bits. And even if it is imminent, there is no reason to expect most of us to engage with it differently than any other terminal diaonosis. which is to say to minimize the amount of time we spend consciously dying.
1 There is, if nothing else, a good Bavesian reason to do so given Brandon Carter's Doomsday argument, which suggests that it is probable humanity is closer to its end than its beginning.
* A hypothetical apocalypse in which self-replicating nanomachines convert the enturety of the world into themselves. Compare to footnote 5.Indeed, my polite authorial recommendation would be to do exactly that if you are capable, probably starting by simply not reading this.
Hmm. Well, no one to blame but yourself, I suppose. A second category, marginally more interesting, is what we might call "decelerationist" approaches. (The name is a back formation from the accelerationists, more about whom later.)
