To the people that are upset about American Democracy right now...

What happens if all the doomsaying, end-of-the-world talk, or comparisons to "1930s Silly Mustache German Dictator Guy" end up NOT being true?

I know it's a long shot, but...

What happens if things actually get BETTER?

What happens if the "Orange Man" actually does a good job?

What about when his 4 years are up and he actually leaves and isn't the "Dictator" people were led into believing?

What will you think of everything if things actually improve for a majority of Americans, or even the world?

Will there be apologies?

Will there be an admission of being fooled?

Will lessons have been learned?

Will people stop supporting the corrupt pro-war, and pro-big-business establishment democrats? Over $2BILLION "donated" by companies like Microsoft and Google and big Pharma to the establishment democrats, and they still lost the electoral college, house, senate, AND POPULAR VOTE.

Will people stop trusting the biased and majority left-wing "legacy" media? You know, the same left-biased media that lied about "Muh Polls" and "The economy is doing great! MUH GDP AND STONKS!" and "Don't believe your lying wallets!" and "It's a close race! Just keep watching so we can get the ad revenue and CLICKS!"




Sure there are plenty of people saying everything will burn and democracy is now the end of democracy and such, but what if it was all wrong?

Just a curious thought experiment, what would you think if things got better?

ah, well, considering he's been adding billionaires and warmongers to his cabinet already... if things get better, we're in an alternate universe. Not a universe I'd mind living in, but doesn't look like it's ours so far.

Trump supporters: Politicians are liars! Never trust them!

Also Trump supporters: Daddy said he isn't corrupt, so I believe him.

Yes, I could be wrong.

But since the 10 richest ghouls just got $64,000,000,000 richer, I don't think I am.

But I'm sure it's just a blip on the radar. No way his policies will allow the ultra rich to get richer. It didn't happen last time, right?

Oh, never mind.

Everyone is saying this and that but we still have a little time before he is sworn is. After that all we can do is just sit back and wait to see what happens!

There was no retrospective last time other than arresting Trump and his supporters.  It was around now in 2016 that the media started "cancelling" each media project or social media "influencer" who supported Trump in the 2016 election.  That is, if they allow Trump to become president again in the first place.  It's possible they do something to prevent Trump from entering office and just declare someone else the winner.  We saw this happen already with the cancellation of the DNC primary election entirely as The Party just declared Kamala Harris to be the candidate.  "Muh experience."  They claimed "Kamala Harris is an expert so no DNC primary election for our candidate in 2024" like WTF?

Except if he follows through with his plans, things wont get better. His economic plans are incredibly dumb. 25% import tax will cause massive inflation and then a recession.

Things will only improve as a reaction to him.

Even the "Centrists" in America are taking the wrong lessons from the election as well. Trump won by being a vile, hate-mongering asshole, and making everyone hate migrants for their economic woes. The Liberal Media and corporate media can't blame themselves for doing NOTHING for the populace, so the only thing they choose to do now, is vilify minorities MORE now that he won. Instead of taking the actual Populous stance of "Everyone should have rights" They are blaming Trans people for the loss. Even though that's a right wing Stance.

No things are not going to get any easier. The 'two parties" system we have now, is Corporate Monarchy, or Corporate Monarchally with a side of  Xenophobic Genocide.

Oh and for anyone who wants to use the price of eggs in the coming years as 'proof' that things are getting better, the ONLY thing that was stopping your eggs from being less expensive were the same Corporate interests that are in play now. They will probably lower the costs of the single issue items that they have been screaming about under Democratic rule. They always could.

People like you don't actually listen to other people. Sure, every election has some libs and leftists (those are two different groups btw!) that make the Hitler and nazi comparisons and has been that way at least since Bush (from my memory of paying attention.) This election is completely different & plenty of people have explained WHY. Here's a good video that talks about it, I urge you to actually listen:
