Feeling of pending dread

I would have settled for a republican with a marginal grasp of what the job entails.

And no felonies.

The maga movement has only been gaining more traction. Their ability to deflect and make excuses is astonishing. I think maybe we need this period of letting the GOP control it all. Starting tomorrow, there is nobody to blame, nobody to deflect to. We are going to hit rock bottom, and I think that’s the only hope we have that enough people will face the reality of where the GOP priorities truly lie.

This.
The next four years will be objectively terrible. But hopefully the boil of MAGA will explode and the poison will drain out.

The last four years were objectively terrible with the massive inflation and open border. Trump returning to office gives many of us hope that the country can again be set on the right track.

No it wasn’t.
Unemployment at all time lows.
GDP growth averaged 3% a year.
Strong stock market.
Our economy and Covid recovery is the envy of the world.

You and maybe five other people believe this.

No. It is a fact that the United States has had the best economic recovery from COVID in the world. Not even close.

Millions believe it.

Fact. The Economist (hardly liberal) had an issue dedicated to the enviable U.S. economy. The U.S. economy had a soft landing that was spectacular.

Per usual, a Democrat President comes in to fix the economy after Republicansmaga. Thank Biden. Thank Obama. Thank Clinton "it's the economy stupid". Who will come into clean the mess after the next four years? That at the arena rally said "they plan to bring back america after four years of decline" When he says things like this, he means "the next four years will be a decline of America." Ugh. RiP

With news that deportation raids will start on Tuesday and the distraction that is the TikTok ban, it feels like we’re just passively moving into oligarchy. Where are the pussyhats of 2017? Where is the resistance? I’m truly truly scared for what is about to come our way…

I agree. I can't stand to look at trump or hear his voice. I am terrified of him making up an emergency and declaring martial law and in mid 2026 calling off bi-election saying he has evidence of massive voter fraud. The Republicans in the House and Senate will do nothing to stop him.

God, how I hope that I am wrong.

Have you considered medication and therapy?

OMG; what if Trump outlaws medication and therapy? You’ve just made my anxiety worse!

president-elect musk could not run for president since he was not born in u.s. but he will be running the show. without his support of oranghead early on, he would not have won. musk is the reason he is not going to jail and musk will/has pay off his debts. wonder what Guliani is thinking today.

Hey, OP - and all you others who are feeling "pending dread."

Time magazine has some solutions for you.

Ah yes, Time Magazine is an absolute joke...says a supporter of the guy who put fake Time Magazine covers of himself on the walls of his golf clubs.

It will be OK. The sun will rise, America will take its place as the undisputed leader of the world. Hostages will be freed, those that need our protection will begin to once again pay their fair share.

We will stop killing whales with pointless windmills, and meritocracy will be the order of the day. People will once again go to work and productivity will increase, no more staying at home in one’s pjs, reeling from micro trigger events.

America will once again be that shining city atop the hill.

And we'll thankfully be one day closer to Trump being out of our lives forever. You can't stop a ticking clock, and his act is coming to an end.

Tell myself what? That time doesn't stop? Today's the beginning of the end. Four years will pass, and there's no third act coming. MAGA will need to find another cult hero.

Trump’s influence on American politics is here to stay, and I am glad for it. Democrats need to find a better way to react other than DEI and Hitler-calling and lawfare or they will grow even less palatable to American voters outside of the few bubbles of elites on the coasts. I hope they do because our country needs it.
