Unfortunately, the knock-on effects of IdPol in politics are unlikely to ever go away. Those particular children have gotten entirely too used to their schoolyard bullshit, and don't strike me as the sort to want to go back to being adults again.

Not only that, but IdPol is engineered to keep going. Even if it loses some power, IdPol is tailor-made to keep going because it lures in all the groups: Whiny teenagers who are 14 and thus know everything about the world, whiny incels, whiny basics who want the law to codify that it, indeed, is all about them, personally... and those groups just so happen to be the biggest whiners on the planet who will whine about literally anything that doesn't go their way, and also the most spoiled, most entitled, most terminally online people in existence so you'll never get rid of them. They'll always be part of the discourse because if you don't give them what they want, the second they want it, they'll scream bloody murder and make it their mission to ruin your life.
