    He was a shit President, but all the doommongering about how WWIII was about to begin never happened. Because he was just shit and incompetent.

    The next four years will be similar.

      In 2016 the Republicans didn’t have the planning or political infrastructure to truly cause the damage they wanted to. In less than a decade we now have an openly corrupt and stacked Supreme Court, a legislature with plenty of Maga sycophants to pass whatever they want and a presidency that is going to be filled with the likes of Elon Musk and the literal Project 2025 playbook written by trumps cronies and the Herritage Foundation.

      Funny, it’s trump himself doing the doommongering about WWIII. Hmmmm.

      Just note, it may not end our shit democracy but it won’t be more of the same. Trump first time around was a dog that caught the car. This time he brought a pack a wolves with him.

      Though a few peoples freedoms have been taken away, like women. And you got a lot stupider on average. And he cut the taxes of the rich while millions lost health insurance and national debt increased. So it’s not particularly great eiher.

      to be fair, he had more checks on his power then, had less motive for revenge against the justice and electoral systems, and is now even more crazy. Im hoping it will be just some incompetence and international embarrassment, but Im worried that it might be more.
