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.
Trump built a wall that Mexico paid for when the GOP controlled both houses and the executive branch after 2016 and that fixed it. Did Biden tear the wall down? If so, please show where Trump’s big, beautiful wall was torn down. If he didn’t fix it then (he did cuz he said so!), then he won’t fix it now. He’ll just use it as an issue that his simple surrogates constantly gnaw on. Keeping these low-information, low-intelligence voters scared is vital to his success.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the big, beautiful wall. These morons bought it hook, line, and sinker then, and they keep buying it now. The big, beautiful wall-shaped hole on the border doesn't seem to have dampened conservatives' enthusiasm for buying into transparent lies and bullshit.
I'm inferring from context here, but I'm guessing he got called a white supremacist because of the tattoo, not because he opposes DEI initiatives though?
Nope

Opposing black officers to get promoted just because they are black is what makes him an extremist according to the person speaking
Why do the reps hate Gaetz? Is he too much of a dickhead even for them? He must be realllyyyy bad.
There are factions within the republican party. Gaetz is , like MTG, a loose cannon which can act erratically, that isn't trustable for institutionalists/"governing caucus" people, and also made powerful enemies within the party with the ousting of McCharty (which he basically alone caused).
anyway i think you all will have a big laugh because Gaetz chances to get through the senate look slim. Not sure yet of couse but it's the only name who is getting significant opposition from senate-adjacent people within the republican party.
RFK and the DoD guy are at some risk as well (mostly because lobbyists will work hard to keep the corruption/waste money flowing, and a lot of it flows to republicans as well), but Gaets has genuine opposition by a lot of senators on actual "we don't trust
He’ll get confirmed and he should. Trump won. Decency lost. Trump needs a wingman to keep him knee deep in BLATFROCE now that Epstein is gone, especially since it sounds like Melania won’t be living in the WH. Can you imagine the ragers Gaetz and Trump will throw???? Viagra and RedBull for everyone!
Nope

What about nominating an idiot for Attorney General just because they are an idiot? That’s ok, right?
Doesn't miss that at all
because they're desperate people jumping out of frying pan into fire.
When people who choose the option that makes their single issue magnificently worse off and take the people who didn’t want that option down with them I think mocking them is not only fair but justified
and charming. Dont forget charming.
and if it mattered, we were the ones at the stove. Maybe we deserve what we get.

I’ve resigned myself to the state of ‘we deserve whatever comes’ which is why I’m not mad at the ludicrousness trump promised us and has to this point delivered on
I will also piss on the faces of the people who operated with intellectual dishonesty for their vote or lack of a vote and are now crying that they didn’t expect this outcome without apology
Unless you had family or friends die in Gaza, no person who decided this was the time for a protest vote deserves to be taken seriously. You knew what you were getting into. Good luck have fun. This is on you now

Or we chould try to do better even if that means we dont get to enjoy pissing on people.
maybe it's the pissing on people that helps get us in this mess. Maybe we should piss ourselves
Indeed. There is really nothign else.
Either you have sympathy with their impossible siutuation or you dont. Either you like mocking people who are suffering badly or you dont.
That's all.
Well aren't you the paragon of ****ing virtue. Are your shoulder blades itching by any chance? That'll be your angelic wings sprouting through.
