Current Events » Let's entertain the nightmare that Trump wins, then what?
Do you plan to move? protest? go on about life la mating the chaos that's sure to follow?

Personally, I think I'll develop a drinking problem
A worthless existence
Save all the money I can since I know service jobs like my own will go away.
Biden is the greatest President ever.
It will unfortunately only embolden and bolster certain problem actors in society, and the country will devolve further into a global laughing stock. Then we'll go to war.
There's a time and place for everything... but not now.
People will claim they are going to do this and that, but wont actually do more than say harsh things on twitter daily

He will probably make The Purge real.
We whine online and talk shows/comedians get a new decade of material

Meanwhile Russia and China make enormous gains, democracy continues to collapse, the economy gets worse, political violence increases, more and more rights are lost especially for women, minorities, homosexuals and transgenders

Basically we take several more steps down the road towards the Ceasers Leigon ending of Fallout New Vegas
^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

Pretty bold of you to think the Trump Reich will allow any of that regardless of the first amendment being a thing or not. It's not like they've exactly been bastions of law and order in the past.

You know what. No. I will hope for bad things, but I cannot say them.

I am a coward after all.

I am the Hunter of Topics. My post never fails to kill its prey.
*pounces* Nyaa!
look up project 2025

THAT is what will happen

Protesting against him would be outlawed, and untold numbers die from cops and the US military who open fire on those who do protest, I fear so much if he wins.
Just call me Discount Dan.
I'll probably just continue living my life as I have been, with little to nothing changing, much as it did the last time the Cheetoh was president - just hopefully without a Pandemic for him to fuck up the handling of.

Unlike most posters here, I simply don't subscribe to the doom-mongering, doom-posting, "Ohmagerd It's the end of the world/democracy/freedom" nonsense so many posters here do.

Would the next four years under Trump be an unpleasant time? Absolutely. Would it be a (more) dangerous time for some races and sexualities? Absolutely.

Is it the end of Democracy, the world, or whatever else is constantly peddled here by people that seem to obsess over the potential end of humanity at the drop of hat?

No, sorry, I simply don't believe it will be. If Democracy ever fails in this country, it won't be by the hands an obese, failed businessman and his cult of poorly educated followers.

Call me naive or overly optimistic or privileged or whatever other name or title you want to brand me with for my option, but the country isn't going to devolve into some kind of Fallout-Esque hellscape if the Orange Man wins.

There's enough checks, balances, and guard rails in place that it simply won't happen without an entire over throw of the government, and even then there are fail safes on top of fail safes in place that I can't see it happening in my life time.

People just seem to like to cling to this is that the end of the world is right around the corner, and sadly news media outlets love to use that to get ad revenue, creating a vicious cycle of endless doom saying, which I simply don't subscribe to.

tl;dr: I haven't actually heard of Project 2025, must less read it so here's why I think things will just suck for people who aren't me.

It is actually hard to imagine a type more suited for the task.
Have you tried thinking rationally?
Hopefully congress will be in a state to gridlock the Trump agenda and well have 4 years of stalemate.

There would probably be a few riots like when he "won" in 2016, then people will go about their lives like nothing happened.

I don't see him winning this year, but I'm kind of worried about people throwing their votes away or not voting because of the Biden/Israel thing even though Trump would piss them off even more. Talking about deporting demonstrators is pretty telling.
This is where cool people write stuff.
- rights to people who aren't White Christian Straight Men will be removed.
- They'll legalize murder for minorities on the street.
- Separation of Church and state will be removed.
- Video games, certain movies, and porn will be criminalized.
- They'll make it so Trump is president for life.
- Will go as far as to pull a Mr. House on Trump so he can live and rule forever.
- Prices for even simple food like bread will be up by 2000%
- Possible civil war

This is so you better get ready for unmark vans picking protesters up and never seeing them again, like what happened in Washington Times 100. That is why Vote cause your livelihood does depend on it.

Life as usual for me, though I will vocally call out every bit of hypocrisy that his supporters in my social circle entertain.
Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.
Ignorance, prejudice, and fear walk hand in hand.
I'd probably switch from a strategy of rapidly paying down debt to being more aggressive with savings and investments, but I think that's the only lifestyle change I'd make. I've already hardened against other concerns that have happened in the last few years.

If we have another situation that causes panic buying and people buy up all the toilet paper, I won't have to worry because I now keep about 6 months worth of toilet paper in stock. And I have a bidet. If we have another extended power outage in Texas, I've got solar and battery backup.

It doesn't mean they won't attempt it. You know some loyalists would love to research the technology to try and extend his lifespan and only his.

Butcher Biden gets the popular vote, but loses the electoral college.
Everyone's lives are made worse.
DNC is happy because they get another four years of fundraising off of Trump, while pretending to be the good guys.
Liberals mad at leftists and non-voters for not anointing Genocide Joe.
Greens and Libertarians still delusional.

And we all fucking suffer and die, but at least leftists and non-voters will have their worthless morals. I'm sure the Democrats will feel so owned when I'm worm food.

Everyone needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP and vote against Trump no matter what. Their very lives depend on it. They will never know a day of happiness ever again if the Democrats lose. Who the Democrats and Joe Biden are is literally irrelevant. Don't vote for a party. Vote to keep yourself breathing. Worry about the Democrats later or you'll never have a chance to worry about them again.

Yeeeaaaaaah, I dunno if that's gonna be a good move in a couple of years. Pierre Polliver is probably gonna win the next election we have and then we're gonna start spirling down the right wing shit hole that is the United States.

Mind you, if you come to Montreal or Vancouver it should be better for longer.

Trump wins- liberal media loses their minds, chicken littles scream that the sky is falling, but ultimately the world carries on as usual because Congress has the true power in the government and currently both houses are split almost down the middle. Worst thing that happens is that he sends out more mean tweets.

Biden wins- conservative media loses their minds, chicken littles scream that the sky is falling, but ultimately the world carries on as usual because Congress has the true power in the government and currently both houses are split almost down the middle. Worst thing that happens is that we continue to watch his mental decline.

I don't want to exaggerate but I'm afraid that Russia will continue its aggression against Europe, China will invade Taiwan and tension around Israel will escalate.
I love all the big brains in here who act like it hasn't already been completely telegraphed as to exactly what would happen under another Trump administration. Denial is a helluva drug.
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

You mean like the first time? Lol. Trump talked a lot, but did very little because he cant do anything. Trump doesnt have enough support in DC on either side to orchestrate any major coup. Everyone can stop peeing down their legsitll be fine.

While I agree that congress (especially the senate) is more important than the presidency, saying the worst thing that will happen under Trump is more mean tweets is so naive. Were you asleep during his last term?

Trump is objectively worse and will leave lasting harm. The Dems should be doing everything they can to get people to vote for Biden. Instead, it's like they're trying to lose.

killing abortion rights is not nothing. packing all levels of federal courts with activist extremists is not nothing. gutting federal agencies is not nothing. killing the pandemic monitoring and response team before covid possibly caused and definitely exacerbated the severity of covid, so that was not nothing.

trump being an incredibly stupid person doesnt make him harmless when him and his allies would wield more power than any person on earth.

at this point someone has to be a member of his cult or just unfathomably simple to not understand how electing an evil and traitorous cretin would be disastrous for the country and world. the first trump term bad immediate consequences and will have continued comsequences for decades.

Some people have to actually live in the real world, but you're welcome to stay under your rock.
Trump did plenty in his first administration that will negatively affect this country for decades to come. Saying that Trump did "very little" is proof that we're not meant to take you seriously.
