Feels like America as a whole checked out of politics with a note not to be bothered about elections in the future.
In 2028, I will only vote for the Democrat candidate willing to take a shit on Donald Trump during the debate. America needs a strong candidate.
You are being very naive if you think this not a possibility. But if you want to put optimistic probabilitys on it, letās say thereās a 2% chance of a successful national Federal campaign to ban certain vaccinations and a 50% chance the the incidences of preventable childhood diseases is going to increase dramatically because of anti-vaxxers in the Federal government. Am I supposed to do a celebratory dance about that?

Weāre definitely on the idiocracy timeline, Iām just not sure where in that 500 years they replaced water with Brawndo. Iām guessing closer to the end. Weāre not quite to the point of collapsing of all society over the stupidest of reasons, thatās gonna take some more time.

Thatās kind of the point though. The mere existence of anti-vaxxers at the Federal government level will make society riskier for your kid no matter what you do.
Iām naive and proud of it
Anti vaxx is a position Trump had been very sympathetic to in the past. If RFK Jr really gets a serious position in the next administration itās a scary direction and not that far fetched.
It will be business as usual and everyone close to Trump will eventually be shat on by him and disposed of. RFK and Elon included. At least that will be fun to see.

Riskier for generic kids, absolutely. Riskier for your specific kids, I think, will be up to you (generally speaking).

Blessed and divinely protected, what can you do
Do we even have any of those people anymore? Or if we did, I find it hard to imagine we hear much of this rhetoric going forward.
Itās all the CONSEQUENCES idiots posting as recently as a couple days ago about trump will go to jail.

Obviously he isnāt going anywhere near jail, but what is the deal with his upcoming sentencing. Is it just silently canceled?
IANAL but he probably gets sentenced but the supreme court hands down an emergency injunction effectively vacating and the rest of his legal issues sort of dissipate into the ether.
Cool, good morning. I wonder about a national abortion ban bill or national contraception ban. I donāt see why they canāt pass those and get them signed right? I also donāt see california or minnesota shutting down their abortion clinics with a strongly worded letter from attorney general guiliani. So a major clusterfuck in the ātrump has made his decision, let him enforce itā way.
But tbh I also donāt see a fight coming. I think the fight was in 2017 and the pink hats were about the best we all could do apparently. I donāt think thereāll be a womenās march 2025. Mostly because they voted for this, apparently (or didnāt vote for not this).
SCOTUS is really going to go off. And I mean off. I donāt think marriage equality survives. and Iām not sure what else does that libs like at all.
On a global level Zelenskyy gets publicly executed in about a year is my guess, and NATO is completely done I would think. Whether or not this actually preceeds a massive shift into west europe (and other democracies) moving away from the USD I donāt know (but very much would like to).
Iāve moved a bunch of bookmarks to a āpoliticsā folder that Iām not going to look at for a while and unsubbed from a bunch of reddit stuff. I pulled my lawn sign at midnight and saw my neighbors doing it too. I have about 7 cigarettes left.

I think a lot of those were predicated on him actually losing. I donāt recall anyone advocating that he actually faces a single consequences if he shipped this.
That said I was still pretty ālol consequencesā even though a couple of you had me thinking he might actually see some jail time if he lost.
Well I mean, union outreach is useless at this point. SC will shortly make unionizing null and void and declare unions unconstitutional
Trump literally said he might ban vaccines, just last week.
