Summary
Despite Trump’s criminal record, serial lying, and racist demagoguery, he won the 2024 US presidential election, reflecting America’s deep-seated anxieties and cultural divisions.
Trump’s celebrity persona, economic populism, and culture warrior appeals resonated with his base, while Kamala Harris faced challenges in defining herself and overcoming gender and racial biases.
The election underscores the decay of American democracy, raising concerns about the future of the nation.
Not just the LGTBQ kids. I worry about most kids. Child labor laws were getting more shakey already. Schools and education have been suffering. Healthcare also stands to take a hit. I’m worried.
Robert Kennedy is about to be put in charge of American health care and Elon Musk om our federal budget. When Musk said next 4 years was going be tough for the majority of Americans they meant it. Yet still majority voted for Trump.
There will be face eating leopards like no one has ever seen before
Honestly at least with musk theres a non zero chance he bankrupts the federal government.
You mean default on its debt? I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump could be convinced to stiff the creditors, ignoring the implications.
Pretty much, either that or something as stupid as dissolving the IRS and trying to get sheriffs to collect taxes. The one good thing about Trump and company is that the smartest one still only has room temperature IQ.
That’s actually the plan.
Bankrupt the government and sell it off for parts.
If they actually move as fast as Trump has promised to, the next four years are going to be absolute chaos. Anything that relies on federal funding will be mired in uncertainty - 23 million people work for federal, state and local governments.
Edit - not to mention the tens of millions more who work for contractors and consultants who have contracts with federal, state, and local agencies
Every kid’s future just got worse because of the impending abolition of the EPA (among other things) and shift back to a “drill, baby, drill” approach to climate change.
Plus you can kiss education goodbye you can’t get an educated man to go down into a mine. Or blindly obey your authoritarian leader
