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

The ninth Trump assassination attempt actually succeeds in hitting him and it's even a direct hit, but through a bizarre freak coincidence it misses every major blood vessel in his brain and he survives. He undergoes a change in personality like Phineas Gage, becoming increasingly fixated on Sonic the Hedgehog, posting takes about the series on Twitter late into the night. He regains his posting power, but devotes the bulk of it to dunking on Ken Penders and expanding the lore of his fanfics.

  • Biden dies on January 19th, making Kamala the first female and also the shortest serving president.
  • The libs hold a big protest for democracy. They wheel out the big Baby Trump blimp. None of it has any consequence in the real world.
  • Democrats decide that they lost because of looney leftists, uppity minorities and Russia. They decide to move further right, surely this time they will convince all the moderate republicans
  • Trump humiliates one or more European leaders in public. They will have no option but to take it. Trump will despise them even more because of it.
  • Elon Musk gets his meme job to make the government effective. Apart from introducing slightly more bureaucracy he gets nothing done.

nah, he'll also somehow fire all the garbage collectors responsible for a major city, leading to 2 years of all the trash left on the streets

Less cool version of The Joker movie with the garbage collector strikes.

Liberals will start opposing things they were supporting weeks ago because it’s Trump doing them. Nothing will ever happen because history ended.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

To which I want to say, I fucking called it, and this is why I argued Trump might be the less bad option. At least when he does evil shit people oppose him.

The democratic party will continue to support the genocide in Gaza and the concentration camps at the border

Biden will invade Iran

First human to human transmission of bird flu in early January

Trump will call Zelensky a loser, but weapons shipments will remain at status quo

Trump will go off script and talk about how he has the best penis at some random press conference

Trump will veto a national abortion ban. Bipartisanship will override the veto

Elimination of overtime pay for all salaried workers

$500 stimulus

Blue Jan 6 at some random tourist attraction in DC. All liberals involved will be jailed. At least 1 will be deported

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Elimination of overtime pay for all salaried workers

The other day I "joked" with my friend that this will be how Donald implements his "no tax on overtime" campaign promise. He'll just get rid of overtime protections entirely. Can't tax something that nobody has.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Getting rid of overtime protections with an exception leaving them in place only for cops

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

At least 1 will be ~~deported~~ executed for treason

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

not a six month prediction, but I'm pretty sure Trump will die while in office, from illness, not assassination

I'm calling it now: he dies on May 2027, from heart disease

I wish we could make bot requests

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (7 children)

You can just post your ideas. I posted in the mega that I had an idea for a bot and that led to a really wonderful user creating the whataboutism bot.
I think somebody is working on a transphobiacountbot now? Just throw your thoughts into the aether

Cybertruck at the White House

Elon reprises his "let that sink in" bit

Photoshoot of Elon in the oval office. Possibly doing the X

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

X goes bankrupt.

Government buys it and hands it back to Elon for like 50 billion dollars

Begins to make steps to make an x account a form of USA ID

America does the actual social credit scores they accuse china of

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Maybe the US can just sell social security administration to musk, he's a young techno whiz kid the-democrat

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago (4 children)

People will organise, riot on the streets. The military will be called in to stop them, but they will be stretched too thin to handle the crowds. People demanding their rights to healthcare, education, community, freedom and an end to capitalism.

They will march on the seat of power, but unlike the Chuds of Jan 6, once they have power they will use it to change the status quo once and for all. The USA will finally have a real democracy, one run by the people and not the oligarchs. They will stop funding overseas wars, and instead focus on funding industry at home, especially science and education.

Biden dies, Trump gets assassinated.

Year of the 4 presidents baybeeee

[–] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If Biden dies before January 2025 and Harris is briefly president then every lib will be insufferable and makes jokes about how she still managed to become the first woman president despite the machinations of Drumpf and it'll be one of those things that they bring up over the next four years under the impression that it greatly annoys Republicans (covfefe!!), when in reality, they don't give the slightest shit because their dude will be in the middle of deporting everybody who looks vaguely "Mexican", regardless of their nationality, and regardless of all the catastrophic social and economic consequences of that action

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

Prices will continue to go up in synch with the amount of articles telling us how well "the economy" is doing.

[–] geese_feces@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm still kinda in the "nothing ever happens" camp. I think Libs are gonna get egg on their face when Trump mostly just governs like a regular ass Republican. Things get worse but there's not 1984 style dystopia.

Even higher death rate in Gaza. Israel killing many hundreds of people a day directly instead of every once in a while.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am pretty sure it's daily already. They've got mass graves and concentration camps

There will be a recession starting sometime between the end of 2026 to beginning of 2028. Probably goes on for a couple years just like 2008. Trump will blame communists and Americans will idiotically agree and bail out the banks again.
