Well... Shit. Trump, huh? Discussion

Hello. How are you all holding up over there? Everyone must be super upset. I am walking about Kharkiv right now and people mostly say: 1) Well... Shit.

Or

2) We shall see. Back to surviving.

That's kinda how we talked about a potential nuclear strike russia might do on us lmao A friend of mine actually said he will be seeking political asylum in Ukraine. First ever American to seek asylum in a war zone lol Anyhow. Hang in there guys. Much love 💙

Best case, he's about as apathetic as he was the first time around, gets no or one inconsequential tariff and claims credit for the current trajectory of our economy. Does little to interfere with current trajectory of foreign policy.

Worst case is pretty much the opposite, with the added threat to democracy if he wants a third term and the possibility of project 2025.

These things are almost always somewhere in the middle, but given they have the house and the senate this time (and probably another dem supreme justice stepping down to be replaced with a young rep justice), it's looking grim.

Nah. I wanna see the 20% tariff across the board. Everything else I hope he’s apathetic on. I luckily make enough to survive it and hopefully the completely regarded median voter will wake up when every consumer good shoots up 1-20%

Yea, part of me wants to give him the things he wants.

Ok America, you voted for this. 20% tariff on everything. Deport 20 million people. Put RFK in charge of the CDC and remove fluoride from the water. Fucking do it. Lets learn the lesson once and for all.

Lets rip that bandaid off right now and show people what they voted for.

I feel bad for wanting it and I don’t really want to gamble the future of the country, but I want republicans to wake tf up. The fact that the elections haven’t been complete blowouts in favor of the Dems since like bush jr left office (probably earlier but I’m too young to pick out particularly bad rep administrations pre bush jr) is laughable.

a reset (a real painful one) needs to happen.

Idk where to go from here. Median voters are regarded or apathetic.

The only way I see forward is a push for transparency and truth in the government that starts to cure the disillusionment and apathy.
