For real he should be rotting in jail, not president again

Trump acts as if every country is a planet and isn’t depending on other countries and people. Stuff that happens someplace else that he think he can build a wall against will eventually come back and bite him in the @$$. He will run everything down to crumbs and even if a reasonable person takes over in 4 years it will take AGES to fix everything. And meanwhile? I’m scared of what Putin will do now that Trump’s letting him have free reign. What country is next?

The major issue with our current system is that Congress can’t do anything. Meaningful progress cannot be made. 
 

So there is a likely scenario that Trump has a miserable 4 years, everyone remembers that he sucks and they vote in democrats. But then the democrat can’t do or pass much. So it goes back the other way and they are viewed as useless

Is there any chance they're going to jail him before he's sworn in?

Now I'm just thinking about the implications Project 2025 will have in my country.

All those celebrity endorsements meant nothing? Beyonce, Taylor? And Kamala still lost? Its been declared on the news here in my country. 

If anything those celebrity endorsements made the situation worse, they're seen as "elites" by the right.

Joe Biden has presidential immunity for almost any acts he takes in his position. 

That won't come into play in any meaningful way because democrats love nothing more than to be morally superior losers, but it's funny mentioning that there are paths forward to protect us from what's coming whether they're taken or not.

The VP has zero control over this stuff. Let’s not turn into Trumpian-like people who use fake news to make a point please 

It's not about how much control she has in taking action but what her stance is and her 0 influence in changing the status quo. Trust me, many Arabs don't view her any better for this conflict than they do Trump. 

I'm not even American but Democrats have lost really badly this election and won the votes of many minorities and women this time. I think if Democrats stand any chance to win future elections they need to self reflect on their values and realize maybe they aren't perfect.

Also, calling people "Trumpian" or whatever as soon as they criticize the Democrats just makes you look bad.

Btw what it is like over there in Hungary ? I always hear that the government is super-conservative and authoritarian but does that really reflect the population ?

They are conservative and authoritarian yes, ideologically against gender and sexual minority rights… funny enough that they often use liberal economic measures, however they’re against liberals socially 

Rhetorically they’re something like trump “who is not with us is against us”

They’re using negative fake hostile propaganda

So basically EVERYTHING to keep the power in their hands… 

They got nearly half of the total votes on elections but as a whole its the 1/3 of the population who are voting for them.

There’s a new party here tho raising up this year and now they’re tie with Orban’s party so let’s say there’s hope to change the government in 2026 after 16 years…
