Question is, how much will trump actually do.

[kerouac2]

In the end it's all about him. He didn't end Obamacare and has no plan. He will likely be hell bent on personal revenge and staying out of jail. It will depend on the crazys around him and they may be too inept to do a lot. Judge appointments will be bad for sure. Tho no sane people to constrain him either.

[C_U_L8R]

1. With the House, Senate and Supreme Court plus total immunity

What can't he do?

Trump's worst impulses may become reality, too soon.

[uponit7771]

2. It's not TFG, its the people around him. Elon said there's going to be "induced economic pain" ... save your money

[durablend]

3. He'll be taking your money too

Somebody gonna stop them? Who?

[kerouac2]

9. Could be total mad house ig

Free for all for the crazys. Not enough safeguards to protect us. Courts rigged. Is house out now too? I thought we had a chance at that at least, for what it's worth.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. He will do a lot of damage

But in the end, the GOP cares about 1 issue primarily, cheap labor so the rich can get richer. That will be the biggest impact, regular people will work more for less.

[Attilatheblond]

11. The biggest impact will be women suffering and dying.

Then, children working dangerous jobs suffering and dying.

[W_HAMILTON]

5. He tried to kill Obamacare and the one thing that stopped him is dead.

Maybe the blue states can band together and create some sort of semi-national insurance plan that they and Democrats in red states can participate in when/if Obamacare is killed. Might also be a good way for a backdoor national universal healthcare, assuming democracy doesn't die...

[durablend]

15. What good is that going to do

When the house zeroes out any funding to said blue states?

[W_HAMILTON]

19. Blue states are the economic generators of our country.

They don't need federal funding to survive like most red states do.

[Attilatheblond]

6. He can appoint younger, more fascist leaning judges to the SCOTUS when the tired fascists retire after he is sworn in

In the end it's all about the American Fascist Oligarchs who own the pols. Our nation is in a very VERY bad place. That means the rest of the world is too. I weep for Ukraine.

[Wuddles440]

7. Any and every thing his little dark heart desires!

No guardrails and absolute immunity.

[Lonestarblue]

8. Trump himself will mostly be focused on revenge, deporting immigrants, and levying draconian tariffs.

Given the people vetted for key government positions by the Heritage Foundation, their loyalty is only to Trump and their expertise is questionable. They will do what he wants, no questions asked.

The things Trump doesn’t care about include education, all the culture war stuff, civil rights, voting rights, etc., he will leave to his nasty minions to do what they want. It will not be pretty.

[Demovictory9]

14. I imagine they will do Florida stuff at a national level: federal mandates on universities

No more "DEI", diversity equity and inclusion, do away with certain majors, no more lgbt offices.

Book banning at national level

[Lonestarblue]

20. When the Department of Education is eliminated, along with Title IX, girls' sports will soon die out too.

No money for schools from the feds and no laws requiring them. Of course, Republicans think girls do not need sports. They’re just useful as baby incubators.

[Easterncedar]

10. Leonard Leo, Peter thief, Elon musk

The oligarchs will divvy us up and eat us whole

[kerouac2]

13. And they will find a way to blame Dems no doubt.

With all their BS about states rights, no state is safe. All will fall together.

[Attilatheblond]

23. Well, TCF was right about one thing: Immigrants are ruining our nation.

But he is wrong about one facet: it's not the brown ones doing the damage.

[Dragonfly64]

12. Trump is just in it for vengeance

and to avoid prison. He won't last mentally or physically for 4 years. 25th amendment will be coming soon and Vance will take over and implement project 2025. That was the plan all along. They'll pardon Trump and send him back to Florida.

[Quiet Em]

16. He's just the placeholder for even darker forces.

They have the Senate and if they get the House it's going to get bad.

[Ocelot II]

17. He's interested in two things: money and revenge.

He'll turn the White House into a stew of corruption again, make all kinds of dirty deals with foreign governments and rich corporations, sell secrets to the highest bidder, and take whatever other advantage he can of his position. Revenge will probably involve exclusion and humiliation more than prisons and firing squads, since he gets his greatest pleasure from grinding people down. But I wouldn't be surprised if within a year he either loses his marbles completely and Vance does the 25th Amendment on his ass, completing Thiel's coup of the tech bros, or he drops over dead. What happens after that depends on whether Vance's retrograde ideas about social structure is dominant or subordinate to his raw and completely unprincipled ambition.

[pat_k]

18. The functioning of the executive branch will be further destroyed.

It won't matter what laws are passed when the executive branch is so gutted that enforcement is impossible.

SCOTUS has already dismantled enforcement through administrative judges who have deep expertise in the area regulated. Kamala was facing a massive task of essentially reinventing enforcement mechanisms to meet the requirements of SCOTUS decisions. Nobody has been talking about this. There will be no reinvention. There will be no enforcement, except in areas they choose to.

No SEC regulation
No Agriculture regulation
No Commerce regulation
No Defense regulation
No Education regulation (except enforcement of Christian Nationalist agenda)
No Energy regulation
No Health and Human Services regulation (except enforcement of abortion bans and monitoring women)
No Homeland Security regulation
No Housing and Urban Development regulation
No Department of the Interior regulation
No Labor regulation
No functioning department of state
No Transportation regulation
Treasury, acts in accord with the whims of DT.
No Veterans Affairs regulation.

And of course, we have the mass deportations and the horrors that will accompany that.

[Ferrets are Cool]

21. "THEY" will do everything that is in P2025.

And now, there are NO guardrails. America, as we know it, is fucked.

[lamp_shade]

22. He won't have to even think..... just do what he's told by the 2025 project people.

[hatrack]

24. He'll do whatever Musk, Thiel, Dimon, Vance, Putin tell him to do

He'll golf and sign papers. End of story.
