Putin will devour us, once and for all with no one to stop him.
JD Vance will take Project 2025 and decimate our Constitution.
Trump will pardon all of his friends. No more Jack Smith investigation.
I will probably grow to hate every family member I have because these are the people responsible for the coming deluge. I will finally say out loud to them, I told you so!
No global warming anymore. FEMA will be a pipe dream.
ACA will vanish. No more FDA and EPA.
I wonder if I need to move some money around and leave this country forever.

(129,012 posts)I can expect to live through the next four years, but who knows if there will be an election at all in 2028? If there isn't, and everything goes all to shit, I'll probably be put out on an ice floe to die because I am no longer able to reproduce and I have no grandchildren to babysit. And maybe that will be OK; at least I wouldn't have to die of a preventable disease because there are no more vaccines or from overheating resulting from uncontrolled climate change.

(10,193 posts)if not the substance. Thats the way most dictatorships are structured these days: pseudo-republics with no real choices. Im sure that the Republican Party will have candidates, but whether the Democrats will be allowed to field candidates or hold office will be up in the air.
My guess is Democrats wont be allowed either option.

(7,751 posts)now at risk of expanding fascism and authoritarian rule. Taiwan in trouble (Putin's pal Musk had already disabled Taiwan Starlink, at Putin's request), NATO will be hobbled or abandoned, Ukraine, the EU, even Europe under threat... The world's last great hope for democracy, no more.

(20,257 posts)Ukraine is forced to accept some shitty ceasefire deal. Putin will take a step back and re arm through mass conscription. Hell get the parts he needs to build the jets and tanks and other hardware from China and India, who will be emboldened by our election results.
At some point hell annex Belarus. Its already a vassal state. And then sometime in the next 2 years hell make a play for Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. I believe all 3 are NATO members. Trump will do nothing. At that point Putin will decide if he wants to tangle with the Poles as well.
Then you have XI, China and Taiwan. Also potentially very grim.
