Summary
Donald Trumpās re-election has sparked fears of an āimperial presidencyā as he plans to expand presidential power, backed by a compliant Republican Congress and Supreme Court.
Trumpās agenda includes dismantling federal agencies, mass deportations, cutting education funding, restricting transgender rights, and a renewed āAmerica Firstā foreign policy, potentially isolating the U.S. and straining alliances like NATO.
Critics warn of authoritarian tendencies, with plans to target political enemies and loosen rule of law constraints.
Civil society groups anticipate resistance, but experts fear Trump could invoke extreme measures like the Insurrection Act to quell opposition.
Do you think we ought to relieve posts like this?
Like, we all know what heās going to do, weāve had months and months of many outlets telling us what heāll do. We donāt need the reminder.
I kind of agree. I donāt see how itās helpful to speculate all of the insane things he can do. At best your just making people complacent, at worst your giving them ideas.
This is not to say that we shouldnāt post every thing he actually doesā¦ I just donāt see how these speculative articles are helpful to anyone other than people trying to make money off doom scrolling.
Fear and anger drive engagement and people love those sweet updoots.
The medium is the message, etc.
To be very fair there is value to experts confirming something that is already widely speculated, and there are organizations and groups who need to prepare for likely Trump actions. Itās just that in this case what theyāre confirming is obvious and therefore not very useful.
