I'll go first:

  • Libs will suddenly discover that there's concentration camps in Gaza. This will lead to one protest with cheeky signs.
  • Someone assassinates a prominent politician (not Trump)
  • McDonalds' releases a new burger, which Trump tweets about.
  • John Bolton releases a new book.
  • Trump inflames tensions with Indonesia or Mauritania, suddenly everyone is a geopolitical expert
  • Trump pledges to give more weapons to Ukraine after meeting Zelensky. Stops all support after meeting Putin, pretends not to have made the previous pledge.
  • Trump will do a minor goof which libs will bring up for the next four years. His supporters will carry around comfort blankets to show support

I will be depressed. I will be sad. I will be angry. I will blow up at liberals and conservatives.

Oh, you meant about Trump?

Trump will begin implementing some policies from Project 2025, especially around restrictions surrounding abortion/reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, and immigration/refugee policies.

You’ll also see a reversal of many of the good Biden-era domestic achievements surrounding labour and consumer protections (maybe by gutting the NLRLB, but that may be a longer term project) and definitely getting rid of Lina Khan.

More Trump-appointed judges at the lower levels, even if not at the Supreme Court (within the six-month timeframe) and beginning the process of staffing federal agencies with Trump loyalists.

Begin the rollback of EPA and environmental standards, maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.

Probably some more stuff too.

maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.

Tbf this means nothing, we’re already not following the Paris Accords
