The winner will misinterpret their victory and then over play their hand.

If you looked at people's reasons for voting either way, it's depressing. A third of people don't vote. That third is enough to landslide one way or another. Of the remainder how many vote for tribalist reasons? At least another third, and probably a lot more.

So apathy and base lizard brained emotions rule the day as much as anything. After the votes are counted, and success and failure attributed, the powerful and wealthy will once again get a huge break, and the working class will get scraps which might or might not improve our lot in life.
