Tuesday’s results leave Republicans reeling as Democrats consolidated power in governors’ offices, state courts, attorney general seats, and city halls, reshaping political dynamics in three key states ahead of the midterms and the 2028 election. The outcome also represents a major defeat for President Donald Trump, who worked frantically to rally support for Republicans and even issued threats in an attempt to defeat Mamdani.
So, tell us, dear FistingEnthusiast oracle, what’s next for the US?
I really want to be wrong
Trump keeps the government shut down. He keeps sending ICE to do shitty things. He keeps withholding SNAP, and eventually people start to get desperate and riot
He doubles down
Riots get worse, until he declares martial law. Elections are suspended. He refuses to step down as president. Due to his nature and dementia, he tries ruling as a king, where his whim is law
I’m not sure how long it lasts before something breaks, but the damage will be immense. And the worst thing is that I don’t think the US will change significantly afterwards. It’ll remain somewhere where cruelty, selfishness etc. is celebrated
I dunno. Voting is a fantastic experience. Telling people they can’t do it because reasons seems like - i know, i know, but it seems like even the white rural gun loving temporarily-embarassed-millionaires would have a big problem with that.
The backwards morons who like Trump only value voting when it suits them
If they think there’s a chance that their orange messiah will be voted out, they will happily go along with voting being stopped
They’re also very keen on voting rights being ceased for anyone other than themselves
Yeah i dunno. Maybe.
You’re worrying about something that he’s planning to do regardless. Quit fear mongering yourself. Placating to fascists is what puts in much worse position.
Oh,
I’m lucky
I live in a civilised country
I watch the descent of 'Murica from a safe distance
