I was worried how much of a bubble I was in and now I know. He won the popular vote, so we can't even blame it on our stupid election rules.
His previous policy was based on spite and I suspect the next one will be based on revenge. I anticipate the stuff I value, a clean environment, protected wildlife, a social safety net, and bodily autonomy will be crushed not because there is a different way, they will be crushed because I value them.
There will be naked corruption, and policies encouraging brutalization and death for outsiders and critics. We will lose health and food safety regulations. Data privacy is gone.
As someone put it online:
Take your kids to see the national parks, before they are sold off to developers.
New policies will exacerbate the problems people thought this election would fix. The rich will get richer and everyone will suffer. There's a theory that everyone goes crazy every 100 years and wants to have a big war. Sure seems like everyone has gone crazy.
