He probably wants to replace it with a Hitler Youth style of program.

I'm kind of surprised because Tesla and Trumpnis pro coal and gas. Is Elon eating his own face? Or is he willing to cannibalize Tesla because he has government contracts and Trump will probably hand him any government contract he wants?

They're supposedly opening a semiconductor plant in Arizona. I think Biden and Trump are attending a groundbreaking ceremony or something.

They'll absolutely blame Biden. Their god emperor is incapable of doing anything wrong.

Some companies have already said they're going to pass the extra cost onto consumers, so while the companies will pay more, they'll make a lot of that back from the consumers that can still afford the products.

Electronics will probably be the hardest hit, with prices of cell phones, laptops, and game consoles increasing quite a bit.

I'm hopefully being extremely pessimistic, but if the Rs have their way (and since they'll control all 3 branches of government, they most certainly will have their way), America will be a much different country. There may not be anything to rebuild because America will be exactly the way they want it to be and there won't be any more parties to go against them. The likelihood that America will be an authoritarian government is pretty high.

Don't be surprised if Trump pulls the US out of NATO and UN. He hates both of those organizations.

Elections going forward will be for show, like elections in Russia. But Trump has said "we won't need to vote again" so maybe he'll just make himself president for like President Xi. This is extreme, but since the Rs will control every branch, could they ban the Democrat party, or it to break up, anything like that?

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

None of that stuff is going to happen, unfortunately, not while the Rs control everything. And it's not official but it looks like they're going to win the house too. So they're going to run buckshot on this country with no one to stop them. They'll control all 3 branches.

Not sure if this is legit but a coworker said 20 million Democrats didn't vote. That's depressing knowing if they had voted Dem, Kamala most likely would've won.

They're still going to vote for him.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a "temporary" financial crisis. The thing is, "temporary" can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don't last for a week or two.

Lawyers representing state legislative leaders were in court Thursday in Raleigh, arguing to throw out an anti-gerrymandering lawsuit that targets the state's new political districts.

The lawsuit argues that the state constitution guarantees the right to fair elections, and it says the new districts violate that promise. The Republican-led legislature argues that no such right exists, since it's impossible to define what "fair" means.

Anyone else have this issue? I did a quick search so I apologize if it's a known issue, but I can set my post sort to Top Day in my user settings, but it eventually defaults to Active.
