Title: Why a second Trump term is worse/scarier Post by Armchair_Politician on Nov 10th, 2024 at 7:11am
A second Trump term as President is going to be worse/scarier for one reason alone - he isn’t up for re-election in four years and so can do whatever he wants. He doesn’t have to worry about policies that will help with re-election. This is especially the case since it’s highly likely he will have control of the Senate and House in addition to the White House. His first term will look tame by comparison. It will be utter carnage that will take years if not decades to repair his damage.

This time, Trump will ensure there are no checks on his authority.
He’ll purge anyone not completely loyal, creating a regime where allegiance to him is valued over competence or experience. Roles that once required expertise will instead demand unquestioning loyalty to Trump, from staffers to generals, pretty much any political appointee. And not just those that exists today. There is a push for his office to directly control the hiring across the board. Anyone who hesitates will be ousted, replaced by sycophants with no regard for American principles. It's loyalty to him, not to the USA. Imagine the inner circle of the Soviet Union or North Korea, that’s the atmosphere he seeks. After all, he did once say he wanted “the kind of generals that Hitler had.” Instead of DEI hires ensuring more minorities, they'll be PLT Hires, Personal Loyalty Test. This is only of of the reasons that his term this time around will be worse than the last. It doesn't help, even with the work Biden has been able to do in removing from COVID, Trump can't just coast and do nothing, there is actual work to be done. It would have been nice if he had included some hints as to how he'd achieve his goals without simply saying "tariffs". The unknown factor about what he'll do, that's another reason it will be worse. He's already unpredictable when he's telling you what he'll do, it's only worse when he's not even doing that. |

Title: Re: Why a second Trump term is worse/scarier Post by Dnarever on Nov 13th, 2024 at 3:42pm
I have never seen an election responce like this, well I guess so much was in danger and so many have so much to lose. Peoples loved ones and family voted to screw they own family members.
I seen one brother who disowned his brother for voting Trump - He is dependant on Obama care to survive, His brother voted for him to not survive. He doesn't understand why this upset his possibly soon to be unalive brother ? One Woman with 3 daughters is divorcing her Trump voter husband, and the 3 daughters have disowned him as well. He doesn't get it either. There is a Gay guy who has uninvited family members from his home on Thanksgiving. They don't see why voting against his marriage upset him. There were dozens of posts in the same terms. There were people who instantly dumped their boy friend girl friend, Disowned their sisters,brothers, Threw people out of their house. There was a hispanic woman who voted Trump knowing that half her family would be deported. Guess how popular she is now in her family? Has anyone previously seen an election outcome like this ? |

Yes and there is also the possibility that he will forget about doing something terrible and go play golf instead. Also there isn't a huge possibility that he will survive 4 years in office. He will be pushing his life expectancy, the 25th amendment and further impeachment. Trump's mental decline isn't going to get any better. In 4 years he will likely be dribbling into his soup bowl. |

Trump thinks like a young man. He acts like a 1980s businessman.
I am 45 years old. I act like a 25-year-old. But I think like a 35-year-old. That is why so many of you have a problem with me. |

Who has a problem with you ? Trump acts nothing like a young person. He is mentally decrepit. He cannot say 20 words without covering 5 topics while finishing a thought on none of them. Every time he speaks people automatically translate what he said into a language with some sort of meaning. He is absolutely incapable of making a sentence. Trump is likely the most failed, most bankrupt and possibly most criminal business man in the US. |

I made no predictions in either category. I said a number of times that the betting markets were very credible, I speculated about some possible reasons but they were a worry. This means that I had no outcome prediction at all. For me it was just crossed fingers on the day. I also speculated about the Harris greater crowd sizes and what that could mean but never tied it into a prediction. I have made one I don't think two but possible post election speculations. I said that if Trump overplays his hand too quickly he may advantage the democrats in 2026. This is possible but only speculation. |

Take two jelly beans - the only one in the class who understands that the President does not have unlimited powers - but with a very few rare and clearly delineated exceptions, must go to the House and the Senate to get policies passed. Even a dominant House and Senate of the same party will never pass legislation that is beyond the pale. That's why it was designed that way - and why presidents can play on the world stage etc, but reality is they are acting a part in the main. It's not some Third World tinpot dictatorship.... same as here - only the dopey far left fools imagine that 'being in government' gives them carte blanche to do whatever they want and impose whatever they want after the Nazi/Bolshevik mold (if you can see any difference you've got me stuffed - both got their hands on the reins and rapidly exterminated all opposition and established themselves as the absolute rulers in the land - to the very dire detriment of many millions) ...

"11 to 13.5 million undocumented individuals whose contributions to the economy are significant but often unseen – particularly in construction, hospitality, and agriculture."
Just think - he'll disenfranchise up to 13.5 million people who don't have a vote!!! He'll destroy businesses by removing their source of cheap labour!!! He'll destroy the social and economic structure built on use of near-slave labour, forcing those fat cats to employ people on proper rates and conditions!!! He'll prevent the importation of ultra-violent drug gangs and lords etc and their setting up in the US due to 'entrenched poverty and disadvantage' thus ruining part of the Third World economy!!! This clampdown will impact far more greatly on those struggling to get into the US to find a better way of life by swimming the Rio Grande or equivalent - think of their countless children!!!
