Trump hasn't even won yet, and I think we're all depressed here.

- Are you ready for Trump 2028 yet? How about Trump 2032?
  
  Trump 2024 support showed up in my area shortly after Biden won. And he’s just self centered enough to run until he absolutely cannot anymore

  I will be frankly shocked if his spawn don’t try to create a political dynasty. I don’t want them to, to be clear, but they are a clan of grifters, and this is the most successful scam he and they have ever been involved in.

  Self-centered and desperate for cash. His supporters think he’s a successful businessman, and it’s true because his business is taking supporters’ money. Win or lose, he can never stop campaigning.

  "Cannot run" will probably be 2028 with the way he's degrading fast right now

  If Trump wins, there is plenty of evidence he'll tamper with government agencies slowly so who knows what will happen. He'd likely try to extend the term to 5 years, or start a civil war and then claim it's war time

- I’ve been depressed since Bush Jr. son, get on my level.

  It’s the Ancient Régime, back from never been gone.

"Recession" and "Depression" you say?

So "Repression?"

Yeah, that's exactly how Nazis function at all. Gotta repress logic, repress morals, repress dissident thought.

I mean...

The MAGA movement was very proud to be a psycho and sociopathic death cult during covid.

Why wouldn't we expect them to gleefully cheer on and support even more needless pain and destruction and death?

Their primary motivator is wanting to feel justified in complaining about and hating things they don't comprehend.

That's already been proven, time and time again, to be more important to them than their standard of living, their aspirations, their loved ones, and their own lives.

They will make up any story, deny any facts, never take any accountability for anything.

Fucking oh well, time for CCR.

Money is important and all, but I'm more concerned about the somewhere between the purge and the Holocaust.

A new Trump presidency will plunge the world into something between WW3 and nuclear annihilation.

Europe will have to dust off its own nukes as a serious deterrent to moscow and majorly increase its security spending and preparations, and Ukraine will have to develop its own (which it is perfectly capable of doing), with unpredictable results. If russia tries its luck outside Ukraine, there will be western troops clashing with russians directly.

China will smell weakness and go full throttle on its regional domination plans, and the US will do squat.

Expect a few assassination attempts/successes and unexplained deaths along the way, on almost every continent.

edit: I don't even want to think about the middle east. Without the US acting as a "moderating force", hell will probably break loose there too.

- The only nukes actually owned by a European country are French, which just disregarded the winners of the election and are ruled by a center right/fascist coalition. We're fucked.

  EU country, you mean. There is the UK too.

So a repression?

11
That's a weird way of spelling fascism.

That’s a generous range. More like “bled dry and left for dead”

I'm already pretty depressed

Well that's just going to get all the doomers, peppers and rich people to vote for him

5
- Peppers
  
  I know you mean preppers (to the point where where my autocorrect did the same thing), but there’s some comedy to be had in imagining Jalapeños voting
  
  8
  
  I guess in the Mad Max future peppers might be the only seasoning

He'll lead to whatever Nazi Germany was. What is a fascist state called, like a kleptocracy as in Russia

4
But the signs say only I can stop "Kamunism!" /s

2
You guys wanted affordable housing, right?

Thats the point. Trump is Putins cock sleeve. MAGA degenerate people don’t understand that the shittiest, weirdest, most disgusting wealthy people THRIVE when shit is bad. Trump will undoubtedly make the world WORSE, AGAIN.

Well, we're already in a recession, so my guess is depression.

-31
- We're not in a recession. The economy's actually doing pretty well right now.

  Not for poor people

  For who...cause it's most certainly not the average human
  
  -10
  
  When the Biden admin had to change the definition of recession to avoid admitting were in a recession, we're probabtin a recession.
  
  -21
- We are?
  
  8
  
  No. The recession that everyone expected never happened because the current administration did so well.
