    Trump hasn’t even won yet, and I think we’re all depressed here.

      Are you ready for Trump 2028 yet? How about Trump 2032?

      Trump 2024 support showed up in my area shortly after Biden won. And he’s just self centered enough to run until he absolutely cannot anymore

        I will be frankly shocked if his spawn don’t try to create a political dynasty. I don’t want them to, to be clear, but they are a clan of grifters, and this is the most successful scam he and they have ever been involved in.

          There’s zero chance they don’t try, but I do t think they will be as successful

        Self-centered and desperate for cash. His supporters think he’s a successful businessman, and it’s true because his business is taking supporters’ money. Win or lose, he can never stop campaigning.

        If Trump wins, there is plenty of evidence he’ll tamper with government agencies slowly so who knows what will happen. He’d likely try to extend the term to 5 years, or start a civil war and then claim it’s war time

          Why extend the term to five years when he can have his cronies reverse the term limit amendment and then win every year like Putin does with 99% support?

    “Recession” and “Depression” you say?

    So “Repression?”

    Yeah, that’s exactly how Nazis function at all. Gotta repress logic, repress morals, repress dissident thought.

    I mean…

    The MAGA movement was very proud to be a psycho and sociopathic death cult during covid.

    Why wouldn’t we expect them to gleefully cheer on and support even more needless pain and destruction and death?

    Their primary motivator is wanting to feel justified in complaining about and hating things they don’t comprehend.

    That’s already been proven, time and time again, to be more important to them than their standard of living, their aspirations, their loved ones, and their own lives.

    They will make up any story, deny any facts, never take any accountability for anything.

    Fucking oh well, time for CCR.

    Money is important and all, but I’m more concerned about the somewhere between the purge and the Holocaust.

    A new Trump presidency will plunge the world into something between WW3 and nuclear annihilation.

    Europe will have to dust off its own nukes as a serious deterrent to moscow and majorly increase its security spending and preparations, and Ukraine will have to develop its own (which it is perfectly capable of doing), with unpredictable results. If russia tries its luck outside Ukraine, there will be western troops clashing with russians directly.

    China will smell weakness and go full throttle on its regional domination plans, and the US will do squat.

    Expect a few assassination attempts/successes and unexplained deaths along the way, on almost every continent.

    edit: I don’t even want to think about the middle east. Without the US acting as a “moderating force”, hell will probably break loose there too.

      The only nukes actually owned by a European country are French, which just disregarded the winners of the election and are ruled by a center right/fascist coalition. We’re fucked.

      Well fuck, it looks like trump will win. We are in for a rough decade or two, and our children will quite possibly be called up to fight in a few years. Let’s hope putin is defenstrated before it gets that far, of course.

      I know you mean preppers (to the point where where my autocorrect did the same thing), but there’s some comedy to be had in imagining Jalapeños voting
