Maybe this question seems stupid, so be it. But I’ve seen mostly bad news, and I struggle to get away from it.
I want to know this: What do you think is going to be good and or great in the upcoming four years of us politics?
There’s a good chance he dies.
I think that’s actually a worse scenario. Trump, while evil, doesn’t really have the focus or energy to fully enact the entire range of bullshit he could/people say he will. If Vance takes over, his billionaire puppeteers are in full control and he’ll enthusiastically continue on with Project 2025. If there’s an election in 2028, he gets to run with the advantages of being the incumbent President instead of a VP hoping to take over from his predecessor.
I call that “God’s ultimate veto”
But then we get a couch fucker as president.
I’m hoping he does before the inauguration.
My money’s on choking to death on a burger while sitting on a toilet and jerking it to a picture of his daughter.
Great, President Vance is cuming for your couches.
The best case scenario: Trump, Vance and RFK Jr. all take the same Boeing flight to the inauguration and it crashes.
I understand the sentinment but understand that a majority of voters voted for them.
Americans have decided they’d be willing to risk fascism for a chance of the gas prices drop by 5 cents.
They die then Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is president. He will baselessly claim the democrats shot down the plane.
There will be a nationwide purge of any non-maga-republicans.
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
I strongly disagree. There are many times where someone else’s death is something to hope for. I think if you try you can think of a few relatively easily.
I’m afraid I cannot. That’s why I have that view. To each their own tho, I still appreciate your perspective!
Normally if agree but I’m willing to make exceptions.
The only problem is that then Vance gets to step up and while Trump is willing to use Project 2025 to get what he wants, Vance is one of the authors.
For people who have 401Ks or other investments, the likely deregulation pushes up stock prices (which is why the stock market had a big bump this week). Oh, sure, those regulations help protect the environment, workers rights, worker health and safety, etc., but:
You know he hasn’t taken office yet, right?
Why without you think I didn’t?
I’m not holding my breath but this could be a huge turning point for the Democratic party where they may finally follow the populism playbook that Bernie started in 2016.
It’s so sad he never got to be president. As a non American he was a favourite of mine.
My pet theory is that this is our opportunity to decimate the 2 party system.
That might just make the country more democratic!
Only a tenth, huh? Well, you do you.
From what I’ve seen from Bernie, that would mean the country would get nicer for the less fortunate, right?
The end of daylight savings.
Fuckhead almost did it.
Oh heck yes! Normal hours please!
My best guess is that now that people have fucked around, they’ll soon find out. I believe a better world will eventually come into existence, but the transition is going to be slow, painful, and horrible for all of us.
If everything works out okay yay.
If everything goes to shit republicans have nobody to blame because they have a majority everywhere and we can vote them out.
And the democrats got a wakeup call they can learn from (but they played the same 2016 tactics and got the same 2016 prize so we’ll see if anything sticks next time)
republicans have nobody to blame
They will always find someone to blame.
Minorities. Immigrants. Illegals. The poor. The middle class. Big tech. The economy. China. India. They will always find something.
Even if it’s complete and total nonsense.
That assumes there are no shenanigans with those elections. I believe we will have them (edited to clarify: I believe we will have elections as well as election shenanigans.) We’ll just have to see how fair they are.
The torrent of lies and absurd statements should keep the rest of the world entertained. For most Americans, it’s probably going to be horrifying, tragic and/or embarrassing.
Edit: corrected the mess left behind by autocorrect
should keep the rest of the world entrained.
Sorry, but you guys stopped being fun to watch a while ago.
It’s now gone well beyond train-wreck levels of horrified “can’t look away” viewing.
Sorry I’m not native English. I’m failing to figure out what “entrained” means here?
It’s evidence of me swiping too fast and not reading the text three times before sending.
It happens, I do that sometimes
There is a possibility that Elno gets EVs mandated, or at least promoted to a greater extent. Of course this will only be for Tesla, but there would be a ripple effect on other brands.
That would be nice, electric drives nice imo
I thought you said “Elmo gets EVs mandated” and I was so confused for a second. x_x
Kinda hope people find out after fucking around so much
You think this might be a learning experience? For whom?
Republican voters
My hope is that people really radicalize and realize that it takes others to really thrive and fight in a world/system/government built to neglect. I how people band together more and build stronger communities and practice mutual aid, etc. And that people learn what white supremacy really is…
I hope, so much, but with the way people in the red have been, “love your neighbor as yourself” is almost an exception rather than the rule it should be.
So we make it the rule in our circle, and hope people pass it on!
We shall see, let’s hope for a good outcome
I don’t really see him living for another 4 years. I expect his diet, lack of exercise and excess of bike to kill him off; assuming some whackadoodle doesn’t get to him first.
That’s not positive. But I see where you’re coming from, he’s old and not the healthiest.
Let’s hope for the best
absolutely is a positive.
We’re about to see how strong federalism really is. Federalism would either be the last defence against a autocracizing Federal government, or prove to be another joke.
(idk if I even spelled autocracizing correctly, too tired of this bullshit to spell)
Let’s hope for the best!
State governments are even more corruption lol
We are getting gang band by 3-4 levels of the government along with an oligopoly player banging us in every critical market lol
There is a meme of that white girl…
Great question. I expect more people will move away from identity politics and embrace one of its many criticisms such as queer politics which is more inclusive of everyone.
Scholars have identified queer politics as the opposite of identity politics, aiming to unite diverse marginalized groups and transcend traditional categories.
Now that’s something great to look forward to
There’s a lot of information floating around that SOUNDS good. Who knows what kind of things will happen honestly. At best, millions of people suffer and a portion of the population reaps the benefits. What decides how you’ll be affected is your tax bracket.
Let’s hope that’s going to be most people’s tax bracket
I fully expect an incessant torrent of smug assholes on every corner of social media I go to alongside a never-ending stream of horror stories of all the shitty things that people are doing to other people.
I fail to see how this is positive?
What is there to be positive about?
