With trump being guaranteed to win the 2024 election and it also being likely that the state will be much more violent, what do you think is going to happen in the US over the next few years?

Yeah, the instant panic from all corners is pretty wild to see. It makes Trump more likely to win, his potential presidency was already going to be bad and it still will be. Not sure why people are saying that this is the thing that will usher in fascism. The fascism is already here and you’re already living under it. If you’re waiting for some big break or warning sign there won’t be one because it’s already here. Not saying you can’t worry about the bad shit that is going to happen under Trump, but people saying that this is the Reichstag Fire need to get a grip
To add to this, the reason American fascism doesn’t seem quite as dramatically and aggressively oppressive domestically is because it doesn’t really have any meaningful domestic opposition. There is no radical left, not a well organized one anyway. There no real material need to have Browncoats and Gestapo driving around in black vans right.
The right is hopped up on culture war shit, because that’s all they got. Not saying that can’t result in actual repression against LGBTQ, but I doubt it’s going to be as dramatic and sudden as a Night or Broken Glass situation, more just a slow roll back of rights. Trump will likely just be a slightly worse than usual republicans president. Which is still bad, and if you want to vote to keep that out of office go right ahead. But let’s be honest about the reality on the ground here.
I’m not even convinced this is true. Have you seen the absolute freaks they have over there?
Yeah but none of them will actually be POTUS. None of them have Trumps rizz.
