    Literally the end now for the USA. Handing the white house to Trump and Vance. This couldn’t be worse. You’re going to see all kinds of violence in the country. Kids shooting kids at school, cops shooting first asking questions never, women’s rights to reproductive health taken away. Shits going to get real scary now.

      Kids shooting kids at school, cops shooting first asking questions never, women’s rights to reproductive health taken away.

      So exactly what we have now. Nothing you listed would be new, all of those are already here.

        He’s from the UK. Like me in Canada, we get to live in relative bliss in not needing to worry about living in the current US reality…

      If that happens, the biggest impact will be the “boring” stuff:

      • breaking the executive branch by turning it from a meritocracy to a bunch of toadies
      • breaking long-standing alliances to stand alone
      • breaking progress on climate change
      • setting back civil rights
      • instigating pointless trade wars in various directions
      • more divisiveness, distrust of institutions
      • societal norms? What are those?
