Well, I hope you're rational enough to understand that you can't predict the future and you may actually be wrong about how bad you think things will be. What you're doing right now is 'speculating.' It's important to acknowledge that your predictions are just that, predictions. They have not come to pass yet and you shouldn't pretend that your predictions have already been proven true.
A lot of you people seem to argue as though your predictions are fact, and then get mad at anyone who says otherwise.
Was the first trump presidency better, worse, or about the same as you expected it to be leading up to inauguration?
I'm not predicting anything above aside from it being different from 2017.
The first Trump presidency was a dumpster fire that was actively exploding daily until January 20th 2021. But I have "the advantage" of remembering all of the terrible shit that happened because my brain wasn't ravaged by multiple rounds of COVID to "redpill" me.
Worse. It was worse than my expectations.
