    To everyone in here saying that this is the end of democracy and this is the end times, what is stopping you from buying a gun and training with other liberals/leftists? Or are you just going to keel over and die?

    The orange shrivelled taco will probably keel over before his term ends. Just look at him, does this look like someone who might survive four more years?

    What would happen afterwards with JD Vance at the helm I’m less clear.

    Between 2017 and 2021, things got pretty bad. Riots, wars, a plague, economic crash, and it ended with a mob breaking into the nation’s capital and trashing the place.

    Can’t imagine a repeat will be better.

      We can hope not to repeat the plague, but with Trump empowering anti-vaxxers, even that can’t be taken for granted.

    Before, his power was checked by legislature…but now GOP has full control over the gov, and the supreme Court has 5 members nominated by Trump, soon to be 7.

    Hand maidens tale seems possible. Destruction of the middle class through tariffs, union busting, tear down of heath coverage, teardown public schools, force colleges to abandon certain studies or no federal money…

    Add in non stop fossil fuel promotion with drill baby drill attitudes, tear down NOAA and the nhc because strong hurricane news reinforces climate change.

    I guarantee in 4 years Trump will try to name a successor instead of holding an election.

      That would require the narcissist to not think he’s still young and vibrant and will never die. He will go the same way his father did, being manipulated by the worst around him as he drifts into dementia. He will be propped up as a puppet as Reagan was.

    Breathtakingly fucked. Wannabe dictator with a mandate from the dumbest mfers alive.

    But take heart. The battle for the US is now a fight between the old guard Reaganite Republicans and the out&out Fascists. For the next 4 years at least the Dems are a complete non-factor. I hope the DNC is proud of their accomplishment.

    All the worst possible things that could happen are now not just on the table but incredibly likely.

      Also now he’s convinced that God specifically saved him from a bullet and chose him…

        Yes.

        All they really care about is strengthening the oligarchy. Cutting taxes. Deregulation. If it benefits big business, they’re for it. And that’s where the conflict will arise. The loud and proud fascists want shit like mass deportations. The Reaganites know that’s bad news for a lot of businesses. Construction, agriculture, etc.

    America has always been a white supremacist slave colony.

    It will still be fucking over the entire planet.

    Who cares, it’s what they want and what they voted for, AGAIN. I’d be more concerned about the rest of the world. America can go off in a puff of smoke and it would be the best thing the ever did

      Listen, I hate my country right now, and am disgusted by the people who live here…

      That’s it, that’s the end of my sentence.

    If you’re a white Christian male you are the shit.

    Anyone else is losing rights

    Also Trump will declare martial law after 4 years with presidential immunity and every position of power stacked with handpicked loyalists.

    Unless there is a revolution of some kind the US will probably go the path of Nazi Germany after Hitler achieved total control
