What if? - Eldonabe - 05-16-2023 10:51 AM
Let's pretend for a moment that Trump does win the election in 24 and gets another term? What happens?
- Personally I think the division in this country doubles if not even more than that.
- Those on the left will completely ignore anything and everything that is perceived "right" policy including any Supreme Court rulings they simply do not like.
- I also think that the chances of a real civil war multiply and we get very close to an implosion
If the Republican's somehow get control of the house and Senate again, I do not think DJT will be as diplomatic with that advantage as he was the last time. He had the power and failed to use it properly. He will not make the same mistake twice.
Personally I do not think Trump will win, he does not have the full support of the Republican party and he has NO support from any Dem and that is just too much to overcome.
I am not looking forward to the remaining 20 months of Biden, but this election cycle is going to be an absolute clown show to go along with this. It will be like watching Jerry Springer...

If Trump wins, that means the GOP likely has the House and Senate. Senate likely flips GOP regardless just due to current mapping.
I think you would see a scorched earth policy under Trump. Since he wouldn't have to worry about reelection, he could really just do whatever he wants policy wise. I believe he would end the filibuster so he could actually fix illegal immigration with a simple majority vote. A wall would be built by the end of 2027 and there would be a legit immigration system in place to help prevent crossings. A lot of lefties on this board mocked Trump for not fulfilling all of his promises. He would this time. The GOP would pass a federal law banning minors from taking puberty blockers. Dems couldn't stop it. He would fire and clean out the FBI and take out establishment RINOs that have been in government for decades.
Yes, I believe that the GOP would end the senate filibuster to actually fix issues. The next time the Dems have full power in the Senate, it's gone anyway.

I really don't know if he'll win the primary or not. I suspect he will.
In 2016 I voted for Cruz.
In 2024 I'll vote for Trump even though I also like DeSantis.
If Trump does win the Primary and then wins the General, I hope he goes scorched earth... fire everybody in administrative leadership positions across the board. He can do that without congressional support.
I hope he appoints people we can trust to key roles and then let hearings begin as to whether or not certain bureaus/departments need to exist going forward or if their missions need to be drastically curtailed.
I would also hope he loads up on conservative judges across the board.
It wouldn't bother me if he hinted at expanding the SCOTUS just to hear the libs scream.
I would like the Dpt of Education to be cut completely. Let states take back control and drop all the Fed requirements.
Man, this list could go on and on.

What happens if Trump wins again? Same thing as last time.
The US will go back to being respected in world and the liberals can whine and crap themselves for four years.

All of things you mentioned will happen regardless of who the Republican nominee is. At this point, a civil war is the only thing that will fix this country. Both sides see each other as a cancer. Both sides can't live with one another let alone co exist with each other. Families will be torn apart forever, but all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.

Keep pining for that civil war. It won't be what you envision. There will be foreign actors heavily involved. Why do you think what observers on the border have reported - the vast majority of those they see crossing are military age men. Remember Biden saying that you want to take on the government - we have F-16s, etc. There are a lot more actors involved than most people realize and we haven't even mentioned the deep state actors, which are not just U.S. based. They are worldwide.
We had best hope that the civil war does not happen, as this country will cease to exist.

There will never be another free election.
Thanks to the half white president we have the war on police.
Thanks to the dems we had the burning of buildings and riots prior to the 2020 election as they cheered the rioters on.
Thanks to the current dipshit we have the threat of white supremancy.
How can this country be further divided? With the election of another dem and the continued destruction of America.
There will never be another free election.

Trump would be assassinated before he would ever be allowed back in office.

No rep is going to win in 2024. Democracy was great until the stupid people outnumbered the smart people.
Of course, I thought this same thing in 2016.

Many of the stupid people didn't just become stupid. They were trained to be stupid. Indoctrinated.

They weren't trained to be stupid. They were trained to be evil. They know full well what they are doing, and they don't care what happens or who gets hurt.
