Maybe this question seems stupid, so be it. But I’ve seen mostly bad news, and I struggle to get away from it.
I want to know this: What do you think is going to be good and or great in the upcoming four years of us politics?
Well there’s hope that it incentivices the American people to revolt or revolution. So…yay?
Yeah totally. The mass of white liberals is going to suddenly revolt and start a revolution lol.
They’re going to do what they always do: put their head down and rationalize the oppression of the poor, racial minorities, and women. That, at least, has will stay consistent.
“I DID my part! I took ten minutes out of my day to vote! What else could you possibly expect of me??”
Yeah just like we hoped Russian citizens would. Probably not going to happen.
Perhaps? Let’s hope it stays peaceful tho
The end of daylight savings.
Fuckhead almost did it.
Oh heck yes! Normal hours please!
I’m not holding my breath but this could be a huge turning point for the Democratic party where they may finally follow the populism playbook that Bernie started in 2016.
My pet theory is that this is our opportunity to decimate the 2 party system.
That might just make the country more democratic!
From what I’ve seen from Bernie, that would mean the country would get nicer for the less fortunate, right?
For people who have 401Ks or other investments, the likely deregulation pushes up stock prices (which is why the stock market had a big bump this week). Oh, sure, those regulations help protect the environment, workers rights, worker health and safety, etc., but:
Maybe I can pump another 10x out of my Crypto portfolio and retire early.
Good luck! And enjoy it if you can!
The tariffs might increase US manufacturing as many people won’t want to trade. Maybe.
I have a feeling even if this happens we’ll still see an increase in American goods. That high of tariffs ensures there is no competition and American companies can charge whatever they want.
American made products do tend to have good quality to my knowledge
We are just repeating history if he indiscriminately puts tariffs on businesses.
Nothing too drastic will occur. It never does. Tariffs will go up. Things will get more expensive. Rich people will be taxed less the middle class and poor people will be taxed more. There will be another wave of systemic racism perpetuating through American society.
Marijuana will become less legal. For some reason the Republicans still have a thing for weed…
The bottom line the man is 80 years old. It’s very possible that he just may step down at some point, which would probably be worse in the long run.
Israel will get significantly more support to wage genocide and Ukraine will get significantly less support to defend their own country. Trump will push for some sort of concession that Ukraine will give up some of their land and enter into some kind of agreement that they won’t request entry into NATO for a long period of time.
Longer prison sentences for relatively minor crimes…
Hardened anti-abortion rhetoric will continue to work against women simply trying to make medical decisions instead of potentially getting abortions.
Basically the same thing that’s happening now in the country. Just more of it.
The question was about positive things
There is a possibility that Elno gets EVs mandated, or at least promoted to a greater extent. Of course this will only be for Tesla, but there would be a ripple effect on other brands.
That would be nice, electric drives nice imo
There’s a chance that Musk has bought himself enough influence to turn conservatives on climate change. I don’t know if I expect it, exactly, but there’s a chance at a scenario where there is at least some progress there.
Granted Musk will mostly use it to enrich himself, but if he at least stops then from repealing green subsidies and the like, that’s movement in the right direction.
You are delusional both about Musk and conservatives.
That is a bit of a conflict of interests between them, I had not thought of that. But perhaps you’re right, that would be good progress!
I don’t really see him living for another 4 years. I expect his diet, lack of exercise and excess of bike to kill him off; assuming some whackadoodle doesn’t get to him first.
That’s not positive. But I see where you’re coming from, he’s old and not the healthiest.
Let’s hope for the best
absolutely is a positive.
The torrent of lies and absurd statements should keep the rest of the world entertained. For most Americans, it’s probably going to be horrifying, tragic and/or embarrassing.
Edit: corrected the mess left behind by autocorrect
Sorry I’m not native English. I’m failing to figure out what “entrained” means here?
It’s evidence of me swiping too fast and not reading the text three times before sending.
It happens, I do that sometimes
My hope is that people really radicalize and realize that it takes others to really thrive and fight in a world/system/government built to neglect. I how people band together more and build stronger communities and practice mutual aid, etc. And that people learn what white supremacy really is…
I hope, so much, but with the way people in the red have been, “love your neighbor as yourself” is almost an exception rather than the rule it should be.
So we make it the rule in our circle, and hope people pass it on!
We shall see, let’s hope for a good outcome
don’t give a shit about MAGA but I’m all for MAHA with RFK Jr being on Trump’s team, keeping an eye on him to see if he’ll be able to take on the corrupt elements of Big Pharma and the FDA
Health is very important, heck yes!
There’s a lot of information floating around that SOUNDS good. Who knows what kind of things will happen honestly. At best, millions of people suffer and a portion of the population reaps the benefits. What decides how you’ll be affected is your tax bracket.
Let’s hope that’s going to be most people’s tax bracket
Hilarious. Its gonna be great everything
