What is wrong with Americans
Arab Americans aren't going to enjoy what happens next.
And its only going to get worse.It's really fecked up. Most people along all demographics in the western world are turning right wing and I've seen this in my own community in the UK too. I do feel like media websites such as X have a lot to answer for. The conspiracies and misinformation is out of control.
There is an outside chance that Netanyahu will rub trump the wrong way and he'll take his toys and go home.
Other silver linings?
I can't believe he's even winning the popular vote. You guys are mad.
Let's hope you're right. How the situation in Ukraine will unfold is a massive worry though.The is was said in 2016, obviously didn’t happen, and people are still saying it. I think it just gives people an excuse to indulge in harmless hysteria.

But they’re fecking not!!! None of Trumps policies will help most of his base personally . None. Not the deportations (increase costs as labor pool plummets), not his across the board tariffs, not his slashing trillions from the budget, not his deregulation of pollution, etc. they are selling their souls for the mirage of betterment and the permission to freely hate.
In Gaza it can't get any worse, both parties are the 2 sides of the same coin .What do you reckon will happen in Ukraine and Gaza for a start?
YesAre we expecting Trump to pull funding or pull support completely?
And in a few years Putin will go for the rest of Ukraine.In Gaza it can't get any worse, both parties are the 2 sides of the same coin .
As for Ukraine it will probably end in a negotiated settlement with Russia gaining territory.
Probable both but more of the former.Is it the fact that most Americans seemingly believe in Trump, or is it that they don't want to elect a female president?
Or a bit of both?
I wouldn't be asking of I did but what I do know, as alluded to by @Brwned is that some of you like to engage is a bit of hysteria now and again so I've asked what it's based on.

Yes Trump famously stands up to strong men.There is an outside chance that Netanyahu will rub trump the wrong way and he'll take his toys and go home.

True but for a lot of minorities, that’s not a deal breaker. The economy and cultural issues are more of a deal breaker.What about him being racist as fuk amd promoting hate speech then?
I didn’t see enough of that in the media and I guess others didn’t as well.No, he also promised to deport people here legally. Also those who have kids who are citizens but they’re not. Or those who are legal but their parents are not.
It was very obvious on social media that they mostly hated it. Why continue to say something that they've said they don't like? Baffles me.There was some research a while ago that Hispanics didn't like the LatinX term at all. Obviously that is just one data point but wonder what this does for progressive left messaging.
This happens all the time stupidly. Look at the Tories over here, seeing people vote and support a party that do not give a feck about them time and time again, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Most voters in most countries would to be fair.Americans selling their soul for personal individual gain; shock.
Greatest country in the world. Don’t make me laugh.
He had both but there were moderate Republicans that meant he didn’t have the numbers to do everything he wanted without compromise. That’s gone now.They are going to win the house and Senate too aren't they? Did he ever have that in his first term?
The next four years be wilding.
He also famously manages to make not get along with others and carries grudges. I said 'outside chance', OK?Yes Trump famously stands up to strong men.
NATO is a 32 member strong organisation. I can tell you there are contingencies in place if USA did decide to pull out but I can also tell you with absolute certainty that it is more likely for the US Army chief of staff to strangle Trump in the situation room with his bare hands and no one trying to stop him rather than USA pulling out of NATO.I know nothing about military but I follow many who do including General Camporini (former Italy chief of defense) and Colonel Stirpe. The former wrote a book with Mirko Campochiari an Italian of Polish descent whose been spot on throughout the entire war in Ukraine. I posted his views at a time when most of the media (and the opinion in here) was predicting an Ukraine win. Similarly to what happened everywhere they were severely criticized as they were deemed to be too pessimist and guess what, in the end they were right.
If Trump pulls the plug on NATO then we're royally fecked.
