Not american but I'm honestly worried about the USA right now. This shit is crazy. Can you imagine if he wins again?!
The only way he doesn't eventually is if he dies, and he'll have shown them that they don't have to wear masks anymore and can go as hard as they want.
When, not if.
I’m not a trump supporter, kid. I’m simply stating the obvious. It’s going to happen.
It is unfortunately a very real possibility at this time.
And judging by the downvotes you're getting, there are way too many people ignoring reality. Got their heads stuck in the sand, like that's going to help.
A voice of reason emerges from the ashes
I don't believe for a second it would stop at 4 years. We're looking at a real Putin scenario.
Also Ukraine gets fucked, Taiwan invaded of Day 1 of the 2nd Trump presidency with Trump simping for both Putin and Xi Jinping.
You really think 4 years would be the max time...
Dude it's not like covid or something you can just "get it over with".
If Trump were elected he works remain president until he died.
The damage he works do during that time is not "healable".
I'm sure basically a good person, so please take this in the spirit it was intended:
Fuck you.
Don't be so butthurt! It's not like I'm saying you should vote for him, in fact I would strongly advise against it. But I have no hope left for the USA with their jurisdiction and political system or their social cohesion. They shoveled their own grave. Their democratic system is flawed and corrupted to no end. I'm simply hopeless that he won't become president again. Be it now or the next time. It's always the worst time for him to be in power. The problem won't be solved until he won't be able to candidate again. And I don't believe there will be another solution but that he was president a second time or he dies.
It would definitely speed the decline of american influence in the world. I dare guess that if trump wins and continues his previous course of action, the US would lose its military bases in Europe by 2075, and be definitively beaten in a war (likely by China) by 2150.
I think you're a little optimistic on the time line there.
I'd give it Ten years tops...
The us is already against the world whent it comes do Israel if trump decides to support russia I think the rift with europe will be ultimate
