Trump 2nd term prediction thread
So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.
Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.
A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.
Didn't we wipe out the aliens in Independence Day with a Windows 95 virus or something? At least that's what I've been told, never saw the movie. The trailer made the movie an easy no. Our major cities being wiped out with apparently no effort and we end up winning? Um.... Nope.
That's what happens with movies when Bill Gates sponsors them

Not a Windows 95 virus, just Windows 95. We tricked them into installing it, and it was game over for them.
That's what I was thinking but what events would need to transpire to have the house impeach and the senate convict? Without a super majority in the senate they would need Democrat help and that would put them in an awfully weird position seeing that Vance is probably much worse than Trump in terms of being effective.
Well, it would have to be something more serious than J6.
Only been a week and Trump has been on FIRE!! Great picks so far, the next 6 months are going to be great.
I was out-and-about in the world a bunch during covid and I was still also ok without any sort of forcefields, fwiw.
Ya I went out basically every day of lockdowns at the very least to the coffee shop. I loved no traffic/dead streets everywhere. But it was more about pointing out the extra extremes he went to in his own life while complaining like crazy the whole time--when almost no reg people could go anywhere near the levels of protection he was giving himself. Then when he did leave his bubble he got covid almost instantly lol

I'm already looking forward to the first cabinet meeting where we go around the table taking 5 minutes each to tell the world that Big Orange is the greatest man ever to walk the earth regardless of how personally humiliating it is.

You can be pro cannabis legalization and be a tee to taller I don't understand why you guys can't understand some people actually like freedom.
You can like freedom and be very risk averse.
How was Joe's freedom really limited? Also, it's a once in a century event ffs our ancestors did more or less the same thing ~100yrs ago as have people thru time. Suck it up and do your little part and get over it snowflake.
Hearing 'conservatives' lecture people about freedom never fails to makes me laugh so thanks for that 😀

The **** no they didn't , and the Spanish flu was like infinitely worse, mass of kids and young adults (ie the most valuable members of society) died from it.
Dang.
TRUMP WAS RIGHT ON HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE
The peer-reviewed science is in. The debate is over. HCQ works against Covid.
Although publication of this study was delayed for over 2 years, it’s the largest double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial on Hydroxychloroquine - and it shows that HCQ is safe and it is effective against covid.
Feeble minded leftists were so propagandised by the media to hate Trump, their brains so fried by Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) - that simply because Trump suggested HCQ was effective, they were determined that it wasn’t.
In fact, TDS was more deadly than Covid.
As Dr. George Fareed noted;
"Millions of lives could have been saved if the world adopted the Zelenko Protocol (Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc) by the end of April 2020"
But that didn‘t happen because feeble minded leftists were infected by Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Indeed. Let the prez begin playing musical chairs with his cabinet, and be sure to tell us each time he fires one of them why they all of a sudden became terrible picks, lmao.
If a pick betrays the platform it becomes a bad pick. No one is sitting here believing significant change can be achieved within the constitutional framework without a lot of hit and miss.
There are legions of enemies of what republicans are trying to accomplish and they are exceptionally good at keeping the status quo as it is, and they can and do infiltrate society at all levels.
Some might call them the deep state, but there are also many very simple interests at plat.
It's already kinda of a miracle they get a shot (although the majorities are too big for my taste and I'd like the house to be democrat to keep some excesses in check in reconciliation).
But so many republican ideas are both exceedingly beautiful and very problematic to many parasites that live through the regulatory state (yes this includes hordes of professionals whose job won't exist with 90%+ of the rules gone) , and those parasites of society have a lot of power and a lot of skill and they will wage a constant war against the trump administration.
And some of them could get the hear or the brain of people nominated by Trump for various roles. And they will have to be purged relentlessly.
That won't in any way be a "proof of failure" unless ofc main objectives of the platform aren't accomplished at the end.

The best were the flights. I had one where I had a whole section of seats to myself and with the row behind me completely empty. It was a near cross-county flight and there were like 20 people on the plane.
Lock em down again I say.
Right, and the platform is: do as Trump says even if it's outside the scope of the executive branch.
But I suppose that makes Trump grossly wrong about "I only hire the best."

So we're still going with, "Trump is a DC outsider" even though he's a two-term president? Cute.
We go with "Trump and Musk and the rest have a decent upheaval of american society in mind" and that can piss a lot of people off.
I mean if Bernie (or even Warren) was president, he would have a pretty revolutionary platform as well and the same would apply.
Bernie bros would be there cautioning against moderate democrats trying to stop most of the actual changes and so on.
Only difference is most of what Trump wants to accomplish was already the rule of the law at some point in the american past.
There was a time when only 5% of residents were foreign born for example.
There was a time with no department of education and with an exceptionally smaller regulatory state.
There was a time with no EPA.
Trump and the Boyz are an attempt to dismantle the horrors of social democracy and progressivism, outside of some ethical accomplishments, as much as possible.
You can hate it and you would be in good company, which is why it is fully expected a lot of people everywhere will try their best to impede him from succeeding
You seem to think that the fact something was the status quo at some point in history is an argument in favour of that thing. For obvious reasons, it is not.

It is an argument in favour of legal feasibility, if it was constitutional under the same text you can't claim it would be unconstitutional to go back there.
While a ton of radical leftist proposals at a minimum are of dubious constitutionality when they aren't obviously unconstitutional.

Yeah, a dude swinging from the nutsack of a guy that's going to be a trillionaire in the next few years are the two dudes that have the common American's best interests at heart. Should have just thrown Bezos in there, too, lmao.
Trump is gonna crush it! Unlike 2016 when even he didn't expect to win he is now going in with a mandate. And he has already been there and knows exactly what he is doing. He won't get tripped up by the blob of a bureaocracy and instead he will dismantle it. He will make tremendous cabinet picks and be in a position to actually make common sense reforms.
The media that called for his impeachment before he even took office has been defanged. Everyone is aware they are powerless partison hacks as evidenced by the election results. The BS hoaxes won't have any effect this time. He's not a rookie and has a great team around him this time. It's a new day in America and it's about damn time.

There is no "best interest" that can be defined regardless.
There is no social utility function and there is no "us" in general.
Only individuals and their families.
I am aligned with a lot of the political declared goals of Musk, and with some of Trump's.
I don't trust either very much (although I trust leftists in general far less as they start from values I deeply despise and consider horrific, so it's hard to find myself in agreement with their conclusions), and I will monitor.
You probably have leftist values so ofc you are deeply scared and you should. Those guys mean business and even if they accomplish 10% of the platform that's already a shift to the right you will necessarily dislike.
But the topic was the possibility that Trump will have to kick a lot of people he nominates during the following years.
And I elaborated on that being expected, and on why it is to be expected

He's going to do nothing but play golf and be a clown on Twitter while Stephen Miller tries to figure out how to keep him in power.
It's impossible to think other races can travel light years like that, yet we are able to "fight them"
That's because what if maybe hypothetically we were taught to think the only way to travel is with a rocket and fuel. What if they don't travel like that, but instead travel basically through space/time by bending the frabric of space to get from point A to point B in an instant (kinda like teleportation almost) or by forming a worm hole, even though this is just speculation of course but you never know.
What if the DS was backed by bad races (trying to take over a planet) and the good guys were backed by the good races who follow universal laws of free will and the divinity of our creator? That would make for a really ****ed up move I'm sure.

They will have zero effect on my or my family's life, but do tell, what should I be deeply scared about?
