I’m lowkey still salty that we have too many old racist boomers around to allow #Vivek to win anything anytime soon. He was by far the best candidate this time around.
I’m really looking forward to the political landscape in the #USA post #Trump once all his old #MAGA base dies of old age.

Well regardless of anything else one thing is sure, if Trump gets elected it will stir the pot enough that some major shit could go down. I mean last time we had country wide riots from both sides (if we count the capital riot)... so if he gets in again civil unrest will likely be quite crazy.
While I think Trump is vile I do wonder if the chaos and conflict that would result in his election might actually do us more good int he long run just by virtue of the fact that it might get that tree of liberty refreshed with some blood....
@freemo @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world I highly doubt anything more serious than the #SummerOfLove is gonna happen. I think hearing people like #TimPool saying that there's gonna be a #CivilWar over and over again has kinda whitepilled me since I haven't really seen it happen, but I do agree that at first we'll see some level of turmoil domestically, even if it's minor. Things overseas will likely quiet down during a #Trump presidency though so there's that silver lining.

Look a civil war level event is a huge leap.. if i were a betting man i wouldnt bet on it.. but it is the closest we have come to it, and i wouldnt discount it either. The main thing stopping a civil war is that the divide is not strongly geographical.
I think its safe to say that what will happen will be at a minimum what happened last time, lots and lots of riots and fighting. Likely it will escalate to a greater degree than last time, since the population has already been riled up for years.. but whether it will go beyond extra violent riots or not remains to be seen.
Do keep in mind the one major difference between this time as opposed to last time is a huge amount of inflation and additional poverty, with more to come on the horizon. Just the added poverty tends to inflame things a great deal. Remember WWII more or less started because of poverty, the poverty of germany.
