Anyone Hoping that a Second Trump Presidency Won’t be so Bad, Forget About It

All hope is lost. If you don’t believe me, here are just a few headlines from 11/13/24.

“Women are stockpiling birth control as second Trump term looms”

“Trump reportedly creating 'warrior board' to purge 'woke' generals” (They’re all suckers and losers according to the orange buffoon)

“The Recap: ‘Liddle Marco’ to run US diplomacy, dog killer to run the border”

“How Trump’s pledge to scrap the Department of Education could impact America's children”

“Trump picks Mike Huckabee, pro-Israel conservative, as ambassador”

“Republicans win the House, NBC News projects, as Trump's party takes full control of Washington”

These are just a few from Google’s front page and the Daily Kos. There are thousands more in publications across the nation.

Fact: Ignorant voters chose a fascist: a vindictive man who preaches anger, hatred, and violence constantly. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump changed America by moving our nation backwards. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Earlier this year Trump’s corrupt, bigoted, and biased Supreme Court gave Trump something our Founding Fathers attempted to prevent: immense power greater than the powers of the Legislative Branch. If you read any part of Trump’s plans for America, listed in the 922-page Project 2025, you should be “scared shitless.” If he succeeds in adopting 50 percent of them, what I knew as the United States of America will no longer exist. America will become part of Vladimir Putin’s empire, and our country’s people will be living in conditions suffered by those in the mid-twentieth century.

Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement, and democracy will be quashed, never to be experienced by my grandchildren.

One ancient slogan will apply to everyone stupid enough to have voted for Trump last Tuesday: “you broke it, and you must pay for it.”
