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.
****ing king of nuance here, who thinks ideological purity is for midwits and also that the right to bear arms means civilians should be allowed to own tanks and nuclear warheads.
Doesn’t it? In the 70-80s there was the “ArmsRace” between USA vs USSR, referring to the development of “nuclear arms”. I have the right to bear arms, be they nuclear or otherwise. If not, then BillyTrumpkin doesn’t get to have his AK-47 either. Simple.
Maybe I'm missing a joke here, but what benefit does voting for the winner in an election confer?
In Trump’s world, in which we now reside, it means they can declare themselves “right” and use it as justification/verification that the things they believe, like avoiding any COVID vaccine, are smart. In spite of how objectively dumb such acts may undeniably be. Up is now down in America. Or maybe it’s still up. But you gotta ask Trump, first.

Trump doesn't own the world same as Biden didn't before him.
Which contributes to 'vote for us you stupid racist bigots'
Like with some voting trump it probably comes far more from something like frustration than from being a moron. And that frustration is very understandable.
He just owns the brains, however limited, of those who voted for him. Which is basically the same thing. If one could just figure out how to get these gullible dopes to deny the existence of gravity all of our problems would be solved. After all, you can’t even see it so how can it exist?!?!

Just tell them Obama or Biden passed the law of gravity and they'll storm the Capitol demanding to repeal it.
Mr d2_e4 is arrive.

You'll forgive me if I find you unqualified to judge who is or isn't a moron.

There is more and more evidence available that indeed they were smart to avoid the clot shot.
Here's an IQ test that I have found to be quite reliable.
The more covid shots and boosters you have had the lower your IQ.
Oh I dunno - birds of a feather flock together. I look at the company chez used to keep when they were around.

Or better yet they have a protest on top of TrumpTower where they all agree to ignore the unjust law that binds them to the earth (Bible ain’t say nuthin about respecting gravity in no commandments, so we aint’s got to!!!!) and walk off the edge in a beautiful act of proud, strong, MAGA middle finger to the Let’sGoBrandonSect defiance.
Although if they did that the Jews would probably set their SpaceLaser to “Smash” and kill all those brave patriots about to prove that gravity is a hoax perpetrated by the radical left, making it look like gravity pulled them to their crushing death below when really it was the JewishSpaceLaser yet again helping the Globalists win.
Can't wait for this to happen. Gaetz won't be confirmed since he is sacrificial lamb, and Aileen Cannon will swoop in as new AG
That was highly skewed towards the left hand side of the bell curve.
That I doubt.
Another great Trump appointment incoming.
Jay Bhattacharya, an NIH critic, emerges as a top candidate to lead the agency.
When three academics in October 2020 insisted it was time to roll back coronavirus lockdowns — writing an open letter known as the Great Barrington Declaration that attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures — public health leaders rebuked their proposal as premature. Francis S. Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health, privately dismissed the authors as “fringe” experts and called for a “take down” of their suggestions to reopen schools and businesses, according to emails subsequently released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Now, one of the authors of that declaration — Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford physician and economist — appears poised for a top government health role, perhaps as head of NIH itself. Bhattacharya is a strong candidate to lead the nearly $50 billion agency in the coming Trump administration, with his name on an internal list of contenders being compiled by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to four people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Kennedy was selected Thursday by President-elect Donald Trump to run the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees NIH.
oooooohhhhhh it will be very very very hard to claim bhattacharaya is anything but a world level expert! those that monsters on the left denied existed fully against the moral atrocities of democrat COVID management.
he was one of the first signatories of the great Barrington declaration (the "wtf lockdowns are anti science one") and one of the plaintiff against government censorship in the case that reached SCOTUS (SCOTUS said he was among those not having standing though).
splendid name one of the few moral voices among actual experts during the moral horrors of COVID mismanagement
I remember that name. I think he was shadow banned from Twitter.
Edit: Wow my multiply concussed brain still does have some memory cells
he was one of the world foremost experts at modeling epidemics and their societal effects (as he was the rare expert with deep knowledge of economics and contagious diseases at world-high levels) and of course the left completely canceled his existence because they would have lost the credential game against him.
like with Nobel laureate Levitt
By the standard of trump's picks he is reasonably well qualified. One of handfall of Barringtoners who should have been listened to seriously
I doubt he will last long.

you don't know he is on team Rufo, RDS, Musk, Vivek, a member of the "rational libertarian right" movement if you want to give it a name.
he is not a random professor anymore.
he connected with people whose power is growing by the day.
these are all people I talked with almost daily in the depth of COVID moral horrors (ofc I talked with the tier 2 guys but the names I listed where the top of the spear, and we won).
and btw he is not "reasonable good". he is an objectively better professional than all those the democrats picked, like there is an abyss between him and anyone who didn't recognize immediately how much damage to society democrat preferences were dealing.
