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?

    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.

    Well there’s hope that it incentivices the American people to revolt or revolution. So…yay?

    The slow death of the American empire. It may push the rest of the world to a geopolitical realignment that excludes the US. This could allow international organizations to proceed without having the US veto human rights, actions against climate change, or things like that.

    My best guess is that now that people have fucked around, they’ll soon find out. I believe a better world will eventually come into existence, but the transition is going to be slow, painful, and horrible for all of us.

    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…

    The torrent of lies and absurd statements should keep the rest of the world entertained. For most Americans, it’s probably going to be horrifying, tragic and/or embarrassing.

      should keep the rest of the world entrained.

      Sorry, but you guys stopped being fun to watch a while ago.

      It’s now gone well beyond train-wreck levels of horrified “can’t look away” viewing.

    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

    The tariffs might increase US manufacturing as many people won’t want to trade. Maybe.

      American made products do tend to have good quality to my knowledge

        From what I know, most American-made items are manufactured with “prison labor” which is an euphemism for slavery.
