The United States is imploding. The reign of Donald Trump is not only challenging and threatening the very foundations of its constitutional democracy, it
In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.
fair enough, but then you would actually be experiencing what people claim is currently happening, even though practically nothing has changed in day to day life, federally it might be a fucking mess, but you can suffer a lot of harm before things actually start getting bad, especially as a bureaucratic body.
This is the real, “I don’t spend all my life on internet forums” answer.
Most of this really is just optics. Even with the first Trump presidency, my life did not meaningfully change aside from having to hear about him nonstop.
It’s when people’s regular lives start to change for the worse that we’ll start to see them fighting back against someone like Trump. Like it or not, most of what Trump does is affecting people other than Americans.
The US is big enough that it will take a long time for things to change drastically. Even when a large company gets a new president, it can take months before low level employees feel the changes. I really hope that it’ll be slow enough that most will be spared any suffering, and perhaps the next administration could start to reverse the tide.
yeah, that’s my assumption, i assume we’re going to be “weathering a storm” so to speak, but nothing on the level of war torn countries in south africa for example. That’s just not likely.
i assure you, my imagination works just fine, i tend to rely on reality, and facts, when talking about uh, real world things that actually happen, rather than made up statements and vibes, so.
that’s literally what im saying lmao, it’s only been one month, we literally have no time for any significant change to set in, come back in a year, when people are starving and dying (if they are) and tell me then.
look man, i will be the first to admit that this is going downhill fast when it starts happening, my problem is that it hasnt yet happened, this is all speculative.
you are also welcome to speculate about what’s going to happen, however you aren’t you’re forecasting the future as if you know exactly what’s going to happen.
Unlike me, who will admit i’m wrong, and change my message, you won’t admit you’re wrong, and you’ll pivot to the next talking point because it’s the only thing that consumes your waking life.
OK, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get a signal at that point.

real shit.
People don’t go outside, this is why things like setting a bar for “oh shit oh fuck” is important, a litmus test if you will.

what we have here is a failure of imagination.
(and a lack of basic understanding of historical trends and long term forecasting)

It’s been less than a month, tell me how things are in a year.

I think most of us see the writing on the wall, and are waiting for you to catch up and stop being in denial.

Keep speculating and watch other people be right on the money.

Nah, I’ll be right. I’m very confident.
