I’m just struggling today to see where the country even goes from here. The two sides are just far apart that it’s hard to see where political common ground can be found between the two. The choice was between a self-described sex predator felon and a black woman, and more than half the country chose the former.
He’ll appoint at least 2 more justices to the court, which essentially guarantees that abortion rights are gone for the rest of my life, and I’m only 40. Hard to imagine gay (and possibly interracial) marriage, or birth control surviving. God have mercy on any trans people here.
He’s already been granted full immunity by the courts, so he’s free to do as he pleases. I sincerely hope he doesn’t make good on his threats to use the military to stamp out dissent, but I’m not counting on it. He’s one of the most vindictive people to ever walk the planet.
He’s got both chambers of Congress for at least two years before there’s even the tiniest glimmer of hope. The Democrats are a mess, but if people are actually voting just with their wallets and think they’re hurting now, they’re REALLY going to be hurting once his tariffs kick in and the cost of everything doubles overnight. They’ll be pining for the days of 5% inflation. So maybe there’s some ground to be gained in the 2026 midterms. RFKjr is an idiot, but even once be bans vaccines, four years hopefully won’t be enough time to fully undo a century of public health. I honestly don’t know. Maybe Trump fully running the ship aground will break the fever. Or maybe it won’t.
