I'm not him, but one thing I can think of that would affect the rest of the world in some way is that the US would cease aid for Ukraine and would also actively cheer Israel on to completely destroy Palestine. Russia being emboldened by taking Ukraine would also go towards enabling them to try to grab other countries, and a strengthened Russia is bad for basically everyone.

This goes without mentioning the ridiculous tariffs and other nonsense that will affect both our economy and others.

And let's not forget about climate change being accelerated beyond any hope of survival for multicellular life on Earth because rich assholes want to keep us hooked on their fossil fuels.

I kind of meant more broadly speaking, but yes, that would seem to be a pretty glaring issue for the people directly affected.

Genuine question, as Im not an economist, but wouldnt the US economy tanking potentially be good for those countries that dont massively rely on US made products?

As long as I keep getting my bux


they'll be going after that :(. i got yelled at by the bus driver because i pulled the stop requested before the bank and the closest stop from the bank is 1.5 miles away (it was hot as fuck and i'm doubtful i would make that).

even after apologizing several times i still got chewed out (i have low self esteem).

normally i don't use the bus to get to the bank.

Personally? I would not know until it happens. I just know I do not want to see everyone turn into little fascists.

The worst part of it is Project 2025 is embraced for ending crime.

I am just planning to travel the world if Trump wins and play an ocarina for my supper and hopefully also a shower and bed.

Yes, I know that. Even the Christo-fascists who love Project 2025 and want to eradicate any religion that isn't their Christian Nationalist fever dream will suffer to some degree, if nothing else economically. But the options were "somewhat or completely", and realistically I'm somewhat because they're not going to be sending me to camps unless they find out my beliefs and how much I hate them.

Black, leftist, immigrant, federal employee in a civil rights agency, union member.

So first they'll force us back into the office every day. They'll destroy our unions. They'll stop us from doing anything that helps people or even make us actively take rights away. Then they'll fire me since my job is policy related. PSLF will probably die or be heavily restricted too, so I'll be broke as hell paying my loans back forever.

That's not even getting into the really crazy stuff that could happen.

I don't enjoy talking politics or religion with anyone. I've listened to a detective debating with patrol before, but generally not much political talk goes on. I also work the jail, so I'm usually on my own anyway.

Democrat-registered, Jewish with medical conditions and a decent few other aspects the Heritage Foundation doesn't like. I live in New York though so I might be more protected than someone who lives in a red state.

I could probably get away with living okay for a bit before getting completely ruined, and eventually they'll want me dead.

So, not entirely optimistic. The whole Jewish heritage thing really puts a damper on long-term survivability under a Christo-facist regime.

I have Jewish heritage but it's so far back it's basically a footnote in my ancestry.

If thats a problem wait till they learn everyone has African ancestry. Everyone i know that's done those ancestry things has some even if it's like 0.01%. Which checks out as they say human life started there.

It'll absolutely rub off on people here in Australia. The number of absolute degenerates who already support him and wish they could vote for him from here is utterly mindblowing. Thankfully our government is smart enough to not copy anything he puts in place, both sides of our political spectrum are fairly level headed in comparison. Hell, even our right wing politicians sit so far left of him on the political spectrum. But the people....that's where it'll go down. I can see riots happening, they'll start small but will have the capacity to gain traction. A past example of how they'll go down will be the Cronulla riots if anyone wants to google it. It'll be similar to that but they'll find new reasons to gather in numbers. The Mango Mussolini will just stoke the fire for what they think they're missing out on or whatever.
