(Disclaimer: I voted against Trump and anyone who supported him in my state.)
most problems are state level problems, so generally unaffected, but any interstate, constitutional amd international problem is up in the air
Realistically... How fucked is the US?

At least 200%, it’s the end of an era.

Slightly worse than with Harris. But the downward trend would never stop.

Y’all realize there are three branches of US government right?
Trump commands only one. And he isn’t an actual monarch or dictator. He won’t be allowed to over step too much.
Either he’s going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.

The other branches are now controlled by the same far right groups who largely fall in line with what Trump (or his masters) demand. There are no checks and balances now. Congress will propose and pass any legislation he wants and the supreme court will find no fault with the legislation. The public does not have to go along with anything. They have now given full control to the far right who is in lock step with their plan to dismantle the US government and rebuild it to suit their own whims. The guardrails are gone, there is no protection now.

yes
Trump commands only one.
for now.
And he isn’t an actual monarch or dictator.
not yet.
He won’t be allowed to over step too much.
like last time?
Either he’s going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.
by whom? the magat controlled senate? maybe the magat controlled congress? oh no, it would have to be the magat controlled Supreme Court! maybe the magat controlled justice department? shit… well we can always count on Jack Smith… he’s getting fired, you say? out of a cannon, you say?
well, when shit really hits the fan, I guess we can just ask NATO or the EU for help…

He controls one. Hand picked asshats on the bench, and his supporters won Congress. It’s really hard to see a world where this doesn’t get drastically worse for liberals.

We’re going to have a great 4 years. The first 2 will be amazing if we actually get a super majority.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 week ago
The first year will be him living off Bidens reduction of inflation. EVERY policy Trump has discussed increases prices. So we will have hyper inflation.
Name One policy he has discussed that will cut costs in his 4 years please.
Angrywaffle2@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Well he’s going to try to lower energy prices and cut taxes on paychecks as much as possible plus cut taxes on social security. So that’s multiple things in one little sentence lol

My opinion is:
Somewhere beween 2016 Trump and Erdogan-era Turkey. But if democrats dont win midterms and 2028 election (if there even is a 2028 election), then we go beyond Erodogan’s Turkey into Russia territory.
Very bad, but the US has Federalism, we might be able to survive if state governments resist. There would be so much damage to US institutions, but if democrats win future elections, we can still save this.

Nothing will happen. We’ll all get up in the morning, maybe eat some breakfast, go to work, come home, play with the kids, eat some dinner, may shag your wife/husband, go to bed. Repeat. I can’t wait for four years to fly and be just as boring as the last four years.

or rape. even incest. better not live in a red state if you have ovaries.
PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee 1 week ago
That could have happened in specific states anytime in the last 2.5 years. That’s not specific to the next four years.

O, to be so proverbially blissful.

O, to be so unrealistically terrified. Filled with misery and woe.

Oh, my sweet sweet summer child…
Actually, maybe that’s what life will be like for a white, upper middle class, cisgender-heterosexual married male in his late 30s-40s, but for anyone who isn’t that… oh boy are we fucked.
PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Well, I guess you better hurry up and become those things.
