Emboldened by a strong mandate, the Republican will bring his dark Maga vision to the US with little resistance

Summary

Donald Trumpā€™s re-election has sparked fears of an ā€œimperial presidencyā€ as he plans to expand presidential power, backed by a compliant Republican Congress and Supreme Court.

Trumpā€™s agenda includes dismantling federal agencies, mass deportations, cutting education funding, restricting transgender rights, and a renewed ā€œAmerica Firstā€ foreign policy, potentially isolating the U.S. and straining alliances like NATO.

Critics warn of authoritarian tendencies, with plans to target political enemies and loosen rule of law constraints.

Civil society groups anticipate resistance, but experts fear Trump could invoke extreme measures like the Insurrection Act to quell opposition.

    I kind of agree. I donā€™t see how itā€™s helpful to speculate all of the insane things he can do. At best your just making people complacent, at worst your giving them ideas.

    This is not to say that we shouldnā€™t post every thing he actually doesā€¦ I just donā€™t see how these speculative articles are helpful to anyone other than people trying to make money off doom scrolling.

      Fear and anger drive engagement and people love those sweet updoots.

      The medium is the message, etc.
