Just thinking today based on the recent news of well, the past 6-months, that we're headed in a pretty dire direction. We're not even one year into Trump and things have already accelerated to the point we are at today. The only silver lining I see here is that the usa has fucked off from abusing the global south and China has stepped in to steer the non-fascism aligned world in a good direction. Great, but I have a sinking feeling for the rest of us poor stuck in this shithole.

Trump builds an increasingly large MZ around DC for the next few months. He then gets with red state governors and have them do the same in their states, targeting the most liberal cities. Then he ramps up the policy changes and rolls back a lot of established protections. There are massive protests in CA but few elsewhere. He personally gets involved in the NYC mayoral race to ensure Cuomo. Next year is NY's gubernatorial election so that's another election to fix. Then it's all on Gavin Newscum who, for some reason, simply keeps tweeting like Trump. Supreme Court forces CA to redraw their districts "fairly", neutering Newsome.

After that it's just sailing until the next election, working on pet projects. Most federal functions are given to his buddies. Privatized federal police. Reducing the ability for states to change the constitution. Eliminating more regulatory bodies. Protests are impotent and quelled almost immediately. Local cops gain federal immunity from crimes while on the job. We may even get some suspicious political murders like Newsome having an unexpected death with little investigation.

When the next federal election comes up, Trump runs again and uses constitutional justification for serving more terms. Supreme Court allows it. Kamala runs for Democrats and calls Trump a fascist at every opportunity. Palantir is tapped to do voting machines. Trump wins in a landslide. One of the Dem senators says Trump rigged the election. The senator is arrested for treason.

The line continues to go up. Economists are baffled but investors are happy. Deregulation and reduced competition has let Mag 7 reach unbelievable heights, boosting the S&P and forming the first megacorps. We make a lot of cyberpunk memes while dooming.

During this whole time not one person except for internet randos mentions Epstein.

This is the most unlikely part of this tbh. No way she'd risk accidentally upsetting the republicans by saying that. She'd be up there insisting she'd be a better Fascist.
