I agree. Trump having power on more levels this time, is definitely an issue. But I still don’t think it gives him the power to rule like a dictator. As for pardons: true, that some people definitely shouldn’t get amnesty or reinstated. But luckily it probably won’t impact the life of most people. And keep in mind politics is a dirty game anyway. You probably don’t want to know who’s covering each other’s back in a nasty way. Immigration is definitely the main topic in Europe. It has spiraled out of control over decades. It has reached the point you can’t explain it to anyone how devastatingly weak we’ve become. We’ve been flooded with criminals from Africa and the Middle East. Yet nobody has the spine to do something about it and send them back. And if a politician dares to take action, there’s a bunch of devious lawyers and “help” organizations blocking action in court. We’ve seen it recently with the conflict around Israel. Streets in Europe were flooded with Muslim immigrants openly celebrating the slaughter of Israelian aka Western innocent citizens. The left, especially, woke people have their mouth full of liberty and feminism. Yet they turn a blind eye when Muslims openly spew their hate against the West and want to introduce sharia law, which is the most offensive and appalling doctrine against the West, especially Western women. As for abortion. I understand your concern. But from what I’ve heard, they want to leave it up to the States to make laws and policies. So you might not have any issues in your State. And if all fails, move to Europe  He is a known liar if he says he wants to leave abortion to the states I don't believe him. I actually think Europe's immigration issues are worse than ours especially with what you described. Yeah our illegals are benefitting financially from taxpayers and commiting crimes but they are not trying to force their culture on people like with the Sharia law so I definitely wouldn't move amongst other reasons. My advice would be: don’t let politics dictate your life decisions. Often things are not as bad as feared. I have faith you will be able to live your life on your own terms without interference of politics. |

What did the Americans do? Tey sold their country to fascism and to someone who only wants power over people and who wants to be the law. Who wants to persecute people with other opinions. The freedom in America, something I thought,every American is proud of, will be gone, probably forever. I think the democracy will be gone in one year, if not earlier. I hope I'm wrong, but it will be a country like Germany in the 1930's and early 1940's. My only dream, that hadn't to do with Taylor, was to visit the USA once, but that dream is dead now, I'll never want to get to a country like that. And why all that racism suddenly? They don't know what they've done with electing him. Okay, sorry, I know that politics shouldn't be posted here, but I'm completely down because of it, and also I'm worried about that country and especially the people, but also the entire world. The racism definitely wasn't sudden. I knew Kamala wasn't going to win solely based on Hilary not being able to win. If a white woman can't win then she wasn't going to either. America isn't progressive in that way. Women really don't support other women or themselves. I live in a state that is always blue. We are one of the most racially diverse states yet everyone I know outside of my own family is part of the MAGA cult. It's scary. You mentioned Germany but at least those people had an excuse that I don't think they knew what they were exactly voting for. I saw someone on Twitter say that Jesus himself could have ran and it would have still been a landslide in Trump's favor. I agree with that with how cultish people are. It's going to be crazy in 4 years when he refuses to leave. I'm still holding out hope that the felon gets himself sentenced to jail prior to January, but his vice president is pretty radical too. Why couldn't we have a mentally normal republican option at least for vice president? I do think this is hopefully the end of celebrity political endorsements because they don't mean anything and they shouldn't. I think that many, or at least some of the Trumpet voters didn't knew what they're voting for too, because Trump brainwashed hte people. Since his first election, he did everything to brainwash them. He made them not trust the media anymore, he showed them in his first period, that he won't be too bad (something that will change now), he lied to them, made up stories and problems that aren't there, he switched judges, so that they are in line with him and his ideologies. He planned this very long ago, the only thing he wasn't planning, was that he lost 2020. But because he brainwashed people so good, he could simply tell them that the election was rigged, and they believed it. He showed how dangerous he is, when he told the people to "walk to the capitol". His speeches got more radical and brutal over the last months and weeks. Also he fired Pence, because he didn't want to take action against the election result 2020. What really scares me is Project 2025. He says he doesn't know about it, but like you said, we can't believe him, and if he really doesn't know about it, why is everything he said over the last months part of it? And why is he clearly mentioned as the president in Project 2025? And basically Project 2025 is a manual on how to turn the USA into a Nazi dictatorship in 180 days. And it will probably work, now that the Republicans have full power in every aspect of the government. And with Germany before WW2 it was the same. The man whose name I don't want to say, promised the people work and money, because we had extreme inflation, he said it's because of the judes (in your case, the immigrants) and that he will do something about it. And what happened? He got elected. It's the same. |

And what happened? He got elected. It's the same. It is very optimistic of you to think these people are just brainwashed. Brainwashing gives them an out. This is much darker than that. They know exactly what Trump is and what he represents. Most of MAGA will admit they feel a loss of power in this country however most won't admit that they believe in the Great Replacement theory. Some people decided the power they get from their skin tone is worth the loss of bodily autonomy. The Great Replacement theory is the reason why the demographics of who voted for him look the way they look (and for the other groups they think it's good to be in proximity to power). It would also explain why they don't care about the abortion bans in these red states meaning more babies born of the demographics they want. It's why that comedian at Trump's rally said what he said about Latino men. He's jealous. There are a lot of reproductive issues with people's bodies of both sexes these days which is why IVF is so popular. He definitely knows about project 2025. He told one of the author's that he'd have a position in his administration. Also, I don't think Trump fired Pence. I think it was more Pence didn't want anything to do with Trump after MAGA wanted to hang him. |

People not thinking politics will have a negative impact on their lives personally but rather other people's is how Trump was elected. I’m not saying politics don’t have an impact on your life. I’m saying: since you can’t control what comes at you, you can’t let it dictate your life. Every term there will be policies that impact your life. Whether it’s inflation, jobs, regulations, laws, safety, cultural changes. It will all affect your life. But you can’t let it stop you doing what you plan to do. Abortion is something you need to avoid at all costs anyway. And if all fails and you need medical intervention, it doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to or will get arrested for it. I mean, even if Harris would’ve won. There are other complications you would potentially expose your child to. Whether it’s safety or problems in the school system. You need to navigate around that anyway, at all times, regardless of the administration at the time. A comforting thought is that Trump will be gone in 4 years again (max.). |

I get what you are saying about not letting it dictate my life with inflation, jobs, safety, etc. Like I said with prior presidents (and with this one) I've been privileged enough for those things not to matter to me. Pregnancies are dangerous already without these bans. People just don't like to talk about it. With these laws in place and the threat of a national ban the chances of having to suffer to death increases. I'm the type of person who hopes for the best but plans for the worst. If the ban ends up happening, there would be no solution to planning for the worst I would just die. I have to shape my life around this potential ban now because it can happen at any point during his term and I wouldn't want to be 8 months pregnant and then that happens. And yes there will always be complications to navigate with a child but the one you said won't cause me to die. If I had a kid with what he plans on doing to the education system I would opt for private school anyway.

I guarantee you that the girl in this story and her family are part of MAGA and are all against abortions. Some of them may truly be naive that abortion doesn't only impact women that they think are careless with their bodies and end up accidentally pregnant, but women who also want babies. Everyone thinks these bad scenarios aren't going to happen to them, but someone else. Fingers crossed he decides to leave peacefully in 4 years despite already knowing what he already attempted to do during the insurrection. And whenever he does leave the MAGA cult will live on and elect people with the same ideologies. |

I think it’s very important to build a good network of doctors around you. People you can trust and rely on under any circumstances. It already starts with general practitioners, gynecologists etc. Even before a woman gets pregnant. If you cover bases like that, you’re as ready as you can ever get. |

You can have the best doctors in the world but if it's illegal for them to treat you then what's the point? I don't trust anyone to care for me and risk jail time by doing so. That would be naive of me. |

You really want to go. But it’s probably not wise to go at all costs. Cost isn’t really the issue. I mean if I bought resale it would be but I’m not dumb enough to drop 3 grand on a single ticket. The issue is more the availability of tickets. Ticketmaster has screwed Toronto over so badly. Half the tickets went to Rogers and RBC and the other half went to bots and scalpers. |
