On the ground here over in the UK these are the basic cliffnotes I'm getting from the news:

* Despite everything Trump is slated to win the election by a landslide and subsequently pardon himself, increase tariffs, wage the war on the "woke moralists" and drain the swamp by...replacing it with an even bigger swamp

Mostly true but a landslide is not projected. Its fairly even and too early for polling to stick.

* LGBTQ rights are evaporating faster than water in a frying pan

Half true. Red states and many rural areas are waging war on LGBTQ people. But anti LGBT laws are dead in the water federally and in most blue states. And they did pass a law protecting gay marriage federally last year.

* As are your rights to...read books in libraries that are not wildly conservative in nature

A little true but the effort is not THAT powerful. Its mostly a book here and there outside a few towns that went crazy and defunded the whole library.

* Gutting of education funding across the board, teachers leaving the profession en masse

Gutting has been ongoing for decades. The en masse loss of teachers is mostly recent though.

* Abortion rights are gone and buried

In almost half the country yes. However voters are punishing the GOP and restoring rights even in many red leaning states. Ohio is leaning towards codifying abortion rights today. If it fails it will be narrowly only because a massive amount of deceptive tactics. Support is over 60% for abortion. Deep red states are still mostly fucked though and some purple or red leaning states that might support it don't have ballot measures or are super gerrymandered and the state congress just ignores what the people want.

* Every important judge of note is now republican with a lifetime appointment

Mostly true. Biden appointed a lot of judges and there are are a fair amount of prior dem or centrist judges. But Trump fucked us a lot and the Supreme court is mega fucked.
