@HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 Worse.
@kaia @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 trumps first presidency killed a lot more than 3,000. A four year delay to climate action will probably kill around a hundred million worldwide.
This is true.
Furthermore, Trump's lack of scientific administration during his first term with regard to covid lead to almost 200 k unecessarily dead:
Via #BusinessInsider
"Damning analysis of Trump's pandemic response suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided"
"The US has recorded about 27 million COVID-19 cases and at least 471,000 deaths, though public-health experts have said those official tallies are likely undercounted."

There is no disrespect intended and, as I have been writing for months, this election will be a great deal worse than 9/11. (And I write this completely aware how devastating it was for the US, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries.)
This is true not only for the US, but also for the globe, politically, militarily, and climatologically.
Probably the first to feel the consequences will be the brave #Ukrainian people. #Trump has vowed to bring about "peace" within a day..

...the next people to feel his wrath are on a pre-compiled black list by an absolute pro:
"#IvanRaiklin served as a Green Beret Commander countering ISIS in the Middle East, Taliban in Afghanistan, MS-13 in Central America, countering Russian aggression as a military diplomat in the Republic of Georgia. He Served 25 years in the DOD, Intel and Special Operations Communities and DTRA as an enlisted, officer, civilian, contractor on..."

...and then, there will be the thousands of pregnant women that have medical difficulties, when a #NationalAbortionBan is enacted:
via #NBC
"A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban
Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period."
(this just as one example)

The list, in fact, is so long, it is hard to decide where to start.
Gender-afirming care in particular and the LGBTQIA+community, who has been on the run, when financially feasible, from Red States for some years now will be another focus point of the 2nd Trump presidency.

@JamesBazan
Very true.
I think @VeroniqueB99 relates to the feeling people had were old enough on 9/11 to comprehend what was happening and the fear and helplessness that (initially at least) too a hold of people.
Excellent point James: the US of 9/11/21 and of 11/6/24 could hardly be more different (apart from the Civil war period).
@HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 we came together that time. Sure, it was exploited and misdirected, but we united.
This time we are riven.
@kaia @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 oh the virtue signal police have arrived! thank god you’re here to save people who aren’t here anymore and haven’t been for over twenty years!
@delric
Insults are not ok and not tolerated.
You cannot negate other people's feeling either.
Not ok.
Oh, my, the comparison is neither racial nor geographical, but temporal!
2001 vs 2024.
Two singularies, the latter probably being even more devastating to humanity than the earlier one.
@kaia @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 3,000 dead at a finance office, hundreds of thousands of civilians who werent even from the country responsible shot and posed with by US "soldiers"
hard to care honestly
@HistoPol
Wake the fuck up faggot. Trump was already President for years. He wasn't Hitler then and he isn't now. He's the only one who didn't escalate the wars in the Middle East. Everyone since Bush the first has made a mess of foreign policy. It's been war, war, war. Obama was no exception. Trump's first years were the most peaceful we've seen in 40 years. I'm looking forward to 4 more of deescalation. Go enlist with Liz Cheney you fucking war hawk.

I don't think there are any significant guardrails left
but the Constitution.
Let me explain why:
#SCOTUS will, however, be interpreted by an all-but #MAGA-controlled #SupremeCourt.
Regarding the #JusticeDepartment and the rest of the #Judiciary, I strongly recommend reading this summary I wrote about the #DeutschesReich regarding this...
Tagging @si_irini
@HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 #Project2025 is scary. Hopefully there are enough guard rails to get us through the next four years or maybe less. Vance will be worse because he’s in Peter’s Thiel’s pocket and actually Peter Thiel and Leonard Leo are going to be running a shadow presidency with Trump and Vance.

@HistoPol @Beachbum @si_irini
I'll tell you why I don't think anything (and def not the judicial) can save us:
1) he has immunity. All powerful
2) he will change the very system that he deems has failed him in order to never have to run and be beat again. So if anyone thinks we're voting anything out in 28, I'd rethink that idea.
3) we don't even have Congress. I'm making stuff up but he could totally make a 'new rule' that Senators and Reps also can stay as long as they want I mean why not?
@Beachbum @HistoPol "Guard rails"?? What guard rails? There are none. It's going to be a shit show the likes of which we cannot imagine.
Thanks for the summary, Vee.
Next time, I'll have you reply first and save a lot of time. 😉
@HistoPol @Beachbum LOL sorry! (I'm still seething... imma turn downright mean....) 🤣
2/3
4) he'll want to keep it this way because it's an ideal 'kangaroo government' which will give the illusion of having choices or options.
5) All this will happen while internment camps flourish, political opponents are jailed for looking at him wrong
6) meanwhile the only measure of the economy, Wall Street will do great and billionaires will laugh all the way to the bank.
I'm still in shock. My worst scenario came true--only even worse.
You're right, though.
On the "bright side," Trump might not live to see the end if his term.
On the dark side, Vance, who'd never have ein even a (somewhat) rigged election, would become president. Much younger and much brighter (the latter being easy to accomplish,) completely bought and sold, it seems.
The horrors just never end these days.
@HistoPol @Beachbum Have you seen the vids going around put out by young guys? Scary shit.
I agree 100%.
Based on what evidence.
I had a similar gut feeling but about 21m (or more) "disappeared " Dem votes...IDK, that's a lot of "paper".
@Beachbum
@Beachbum @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 Either the current gov does everything imaginable about that scenario which is 100% precise, or the orbanization of the US is inevitable. No checks, no balances, no correct data, no free media (hell, there wasn't any since its all bilionaire's times, -post and -news) , no independent judicial system, no resistance. The result of this is much worse than the first 4 years of Trump.
@Beachbum @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 In my mind, there is no doubt the agglomeration of votes has been manipulated (not the voting machines). Indicators: 1) implausible split votes, 2) missing votes (some say up to 22 Mio) - high turnout but less votes 3) massive voter intimidation/purges.
I don't get it Kamala has given in. I hope Biden/Harris are taking decicive action quick.
Otherwise the US dream is over. Forever.
@HistoPol @ar1 @Beachbum yeah it was weird. And I saw an article that he "intended to cheat" then bam nothing. Gone. 🤷♀️
Probably not.
My inner apocalyptic scenarios, in particular about the climate crisis, but also about the fascist mass deportation and the pregnant-women travel bans an period-watching devices and apps to come (-》 Handmaid's Tale,) that I have been having for months are hard to beat. 🤪 🔫.
Which ones?
@Beachbum
@HistoPol @Beachbum Have a gander (and yes it's 'only' Nick Fuentes -o the irony- but it's the message that is everywhere online right now)...
I only found this:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/technology/trump-election-denial.html
Not the thing.
However, the "Gleichschaltung der Presse" (streamlining of the media) exercised by the Gestapo and lifted to new levels by Xi through the Great Firewall of China and the censorship department, has already begun happening in Russia, Hungary, and in the US (#BillionaireMedia,) and elsewhere.
@Beachbum
Awful. He looks like a walking satire, though. 😉
@Beachbum
@HistoPol @ar1 @Beachbum yeah not the thing, but I'll try to find it again...
@HistoPol @Beachbum that's why i said 'only' but imagine the droves of young men who think EXACTLY that? Mark my words, the stories are going to be horrendous.
But hey, they won.
Thanks.

no, I found this one but it's not the one I saw.
