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??”
This is what we want. This is who we are as a nation. There will be no revolution.
Yeah just like we hoped Russian citizens would. Probably not going to happen.
Perhaps? Let’s hope it stays peaceful tho
No tyrant has ever been defeated by asking nicely.
Meh, fair
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
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
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
Hilarious. Its gonna be great everything
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!
What???
You know that nobody becomes a billionaire by giving a shit about anyone but themselves.
That’s just it … He’s heavily invested in alternative energy…
Tesla makes electric cars, home and industrial battery packs, and rooftop solar. It’s in his interest for Republicans to believe in climate change.
At the very least it’s in his interest for Republicans to not squash electric cars and solar power.
The end of daylight savings.
Fuckhead almost did it.
Oh heck yes! Normal hours please!
Maybe I can pump another 10x out of my Crypto portfolio and retire early.
Good luck! And enjoy it if you can!
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:
You know he hasn’t taken office yet, right?
Why without you think I didn’t?
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!
We’re about to see how strong federalism really is. Federalism would either be the last defence against a autocracizing Federal government, or prove to be another joke.
(idk if I even spelled autocracizing correctly, too tired of this bullshit to spell)
State governments are even more corruption lol
We are getting gang band by 3-4 levels of the government along with an oligopoly player banging us in every critical market lol
There is a meme of that white girl…
Let’s hope for the best!
There’s a good chance he dies.
I call that “God’s ultimate veto”
I’m hoping he does before the inauguration.
My money’s on choking to death on a burger while sitting on a toilet and jerking it to a picture of his daughter.
Great, President Vance is cuming for your couches.
The best case scenario: Trump, Vance and RFK Jr. all take the same Boeing flight to the inauguration and it crashes.
I understand the sentinment but understand that a majority of voters voted for them.
Americans have decided they’d be willing to risk fascism for a chance of the gas prices drop by 5 cents.
They die then Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is president. He will baselessly claim the democrats shot down the plane.
There will be a nationwide purge of any non-maga-republicans.
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
Normally if agree but I’m willing to make exceptions.
The only problem is that then Vance gets to step up and while Trump is willing to use Project 2025 to get what he wants, Vance is one of the authors.
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
I strongly disagree. There are many times where someone else’s death is something to hope for. I think if you try you can think of a few relatively easily.
I’m afraid I cannot. That’s why I have that view. To each their own tho, I still appreciate your perspective!
But then we get a couch fucker as president.
I think that’s actually a worse scenario. Trump, while evil, doesn’t really have the focus or energy to fully enact the entire range of bullshit he could/people say he will. If Vance takes over, his billionaire puppeteers are in full control and he’ll enthusiastically continue on with Project 2025. If there’s an election in 2028, he gets to run with the advantages of being the incumbent President instead of a VP hoping to take over from his predecessor.
Great question. I expect more people will move away from identity politics and embrace one of its many criticisms such as queer politics which is more inclusive of everyone.
Scholars have identified queer politics as the opposite of identity politics, aiming to unite diverse marginalized groups and transcend traditional categories.
Now that’s something great to look forward to
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.
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
I thought you said “Elmo gets EVs mandated” and I was so confused for a second. x_x
