US elections, what if Trump wins

[Sadcafe]

Is anyone worried what might happen if Trump wins?

No it wasn't - that was a supreme court ruling and it happened when Biden was president.

Im off to vote soon. Hardly any sleep last night. Have a lovely headache and bouts of nausea. The last time I felt this way was when Gore lost the presidency to GW Bush.

I do have a feeling that Harris is going to win but I almost don't want to say it out loud in case I jinx it!

My understanding is that some states have the National Guard ready to respond to any violence that may occur post election.

Trump was instrumental in the ruling. Let's not play games.

I've seen the image used in memes, but this is the first time I've ever actually seen the original video.

Kamala Harris hasn’t been running anything. That’s for sure.

Have you seen his stance on abortion interviews?

There's a bigger need for abortion in Blue states where they allow creeps into women's spaces, no men there, less need for abortions.

Many are of the opinion that these wars were started because of a weak US under Biden. So really depends and not necessarily a bad thing if he wins.

Trump turned SCOTUS republican with his appointments which led to the Roe v Wade overturn decision.

I cannot imagine a second term for the man. He is a horror show.

If I don't laugh I'll cry, because the man is planning to allow one of his cronies to do utterly bonkers and dangerous stuff like stop vaccinations, stop fluoride in the water... it's going to be a pretty dystopian place

Exactly this.

I'm in the office with my two American colleagues today. They're worried.

I'm worried if he does, and worried if he doesn't. The US is dangerously polarised by their own electoral system. It's inherent. A win for Harris doesn't solve that, it'll still be there.

Anyway do not even worry apparently the omnipotent revelation that is Kamala will win so just wait and see the utopia unfolding in the next few years. I am still in awe with the integrity we have found in Starmer in the U.K. What is not to love!!!

Yes it is. 4 years of Biden and we now have war in Europe and the middle east

Trump will kowtow to Putin and Netanyahu. The implications for Ukraine and Gaza are terrible.

This. Whatever you think about Trump he is a dove, not a hawk.

No. It is now the situation that each State gets to decide what the law should be in their state.

So, for example, in California the abortion laws are very similar to those in the UK. In Oregon you can get an abortion right up until the day of delivery.

In contrast, in somewhere like Texas, yes, abortions are mostly illegal.

I'm not sure the people in Yemen, Somalia & Niger would agree. This a man who campaigned for the torture of prisoners, wants internment camps & shares intelligence with our enemies.

The world had 4 years of a Trump administration and is still here.

Doesn't it also depend on control of the senate and congress and possibly if they can elect a strong speaker?

Of course it is, because what he'll do is pull US backing and money from Ukraine support and there will be a full on war in Europe because Putin will have free reign. Hungary and Belarus will go to Putin's side (they already basically are in all but name). Putin will go for Poland next, and then carry on West. UK, Germany and France will all be paying for the war, maybe some of the Scandi countries too.

Republic of Ireland isn't even in NATO, we could have war literally on our border if Putin decided to invade there, sensing weakness and no US support. And wanting to exploit a divided EU/UK relationship.

Last time the people around him did try to prevent him from acting on his worst impulses. None of those people support him now and his team will be people who think like him and will support the dreadful things he is planning. As someone said, it will be Trump with no guard-rails.

I think it's going to be very fraught whatever the outcome and divisions will deepen.

Erm...

Trump has flip flopped on abortion since the 90s. However we all know that he nominated three of the Supreme Court Justices who voted to overturn Roe in 2022.

He called the state level restrictions that followed "a beautiful thing to watch". He is aware that being anti abortion isn't popular and has since said that he won't sign a federal ban.He's also repeatedly refused to say if he would veto a national ban.

Trump says a lot of things. Recently he's been calling himself a protector of women and said that he's going to protect women whether they like it or not.

Trump has been convicted of sexual assault, been accused dozens of times of sexual misconduct and proclaimed that he grabs them by the pussy.

Last year a judge ruled that a rape accusation against Trump was 'substantially true'.

Do you believe everything he says?
